Audi S6 Avant 4.0TFSi

About this Collectable

Audi S6 Avant 4.0 TFSi

The Audi S6 is basically the brave brother of the RS6, or if you prefer, the fast brother of the A6. An understated but classy exterior and slightly less power on all 4 driven wheels. However, the 4.0 TFSi is basically the same and can be brought up to RS6 level with a few tweaks. 
The Audi S6 debuted back in 1994, where it was based on the time-honoured Audi 100. The infamous 2.2-litre turbocharged 5 pitter took it to 230bhp and launched the manual version to 100kmh in a good 6 seconds. Automates were still a lot slower in those days. There also came an S6 plus with the (slightly tweaked) V8 from the Audi S8. In the C5 generation, only the atmospheric V8 came on board in a slightly tapered body. The C6 models had something special, namely a 5.2-litre V10. Almost 100hp added from the engine block based on a Lamborghini Gallardo. Unfortunately a not very reliable engine, but iconic of course with 10-cylinders. The fourth (C7) generation is actually quite special. Not only was the familiar 4.0 V8 TFSi fitted, it also turned out to be the last series tye with a petrol engine for the time being. For unclear reasons, the latest version (C8) came out in Europe in 2019 only with a diesel, the 3.0 TDi........

This 4th-generation S6, newly delivered in Luxembourg, came to the Netherlands directly from the German Audi dealer, as the current (and only 2nd) owner was looking for a comfortable ‘winter sports express’. Almost everything is on it together with great colour combination belonging to the design select edition version, makes it a beautiful bolide, which is still completely in its first paint. Due to a sweaty head gasket, the new owner decided to have the gaskets replaced and immediately had the larger downpipes with sportcats installed. These sportcats ensure that the car passes inspection effortlessly. Quattra tuning immediately adjusted the software, increasing the power to RS values of 568hp. Quattra also made software changes to the gearbox. The S6 was also given a glass coating with a 5-year warranty. To complete the S6, the current owner had Apple carplay and Andoid installed by the Audi dealer.

Our opinion

A beast of a car in a subtle package. That's how the S6 was and is meant to be. Deliberately provided with a bit less power by Audi, because otherwise the RS6 would have no reason to exist. An inconspicuous all-rounder, autobahnbrenner or whatever you want to call it. Suitable for 5 people with lots of luggage and indeed a great winter sports gun. Being a damage-free car in first paint makes it a great car.

About the seller

The current owner was looking for a fast estate for winter sports. He bought the S6 himself from a dealer in Germany who sold the S6 the car on behalf of the 1st owner. He fell for the condition of the car and the great colour combination and equipment. Deep down, he was looking for a V10, not from Audi, but from the competition. He has since found that and therefore the S6 may go to a new owner.

Notes

This S6 is completely up to date in terms of maintenance. The tuning makes the car extra nice and as a stage 2, not immediately killing the technology. The car still looks very clean and of course, as can be seen in the photos, has traces of use appropriate to its age and mileage, but is still completely in its first paint. Recently, the brake discs and blocks were all replaced!
