The new Audi A6: high tech in the executive class

Once again, Audi sets the standard: The new A6 will arrive at dealerships in early 2011. The successor to the world’s most successful executive sedan features groundbreaking solutions in every area of technology. An intelligent combination of materials renders the body unusually light; operation is easy, despite a wealth of functionality; and the range of assistance and multimedia systems is extensive. The new A6 series starts with five powerplants generating between 130 kW (177 hp) and 220 kW (300 hp) of output: two gasoline engines and three TDI units. The Audi A6 hybrid will follow at a later date; it combines the power of a large V6 with the fuel efficiency of a four-cylinder unit. A number of drivetrain options are also available. The Audi drive select dynamic handling system for all TFSI and TDI versions has been expanded to include an additional mode – the “efficiency” program.

Looks like a very nice way to drive to work and to go on long drives through areas with boring roads and high traffic roads.

PS: I like that Die Welt is open on the iPad.

Only thing I don't get is the all-LED head lamps. Hopefully the A6 will come with xenon/LED hybrid versions like the NA spec Audi A8 have as an option.

Other than that, design parentage is obvious, but seems sleeker than the older car, more like say the Holden Commodore, which is about the same size as the new A6.

LED headlamps are Audi's thing, though. They were the first one to do it, afaik, and it's one of their main styling cues.

I really like the direction Audi is going with their new cars (especially the A5). They're not as stylistically or mechanically offensive as I would want my $50k+ sports/luxury car to be. But other than that, I think they're quite handsome and I really can't say anything bad about the styling.

Looks like smaller A8. Not that it's surprising though...

nothing wrong, nothing special.
