In 1994, the latest generation (C4) of the Audi 100 received a facelift and was renamed as the Audi A6, to fit in with Audi's new alphanumeric nomenclature (as the full-size A8 had just been introduced).
These are inline four-cylinder turbocharged engines and more powerful 3-litre units in a V6 configuration with a mechanical compressor.Īudi's executive car was previously named the Audi 100 (or Audi 5000 in the United States), and was released in three successive generations ( Audi C1, Audi C2 and Audi C3). The wide range of engines available have power outputs ranging from 150 to 333 PS (110 to 245 kW). The A6 has also been used as the basis for the company's Allroad models since 1999.īoth petrol and diesel versions of the A6 are offered. The related Audi A7 is essentially a Sportback ( liftback) version of the C7-series and C8-series A6 but is marketed under its own separate identity and model designation.Īll generations of the A6 have offered either front-wheel-drive or Torsen-based four-wheel-drive, marketed by Audi as their quattro system. Audi's internal numbering treats the A6 as a continuation of the Audi 100 lineage, with the initial A6 designated as a member of the C4-series, followed by the C5, C6, C7, and the C8. Now in its fifth generation, the successor to the Audi 100 is manufactured in Neckarsulm, Germany, and is available in saloon and estate configurations, the latter marketed by Audi as the Avant. The Audi A6 is an executive car made by the German automaker Audi.
