The 2012 A6 Avant - just received its tremendous day of vail pulling on May perhaps 18th, and it appears just like the German carmaker wants to give us a new cause of jumping out of a large gas-guzzling SUV and into a specific thing more effective seeking: the S6 Avant. A test mule was most recently spotted on the Nurburgring track, shrouded by a vail of camouflage. The S6 Avant is distinguished by sportier fascias, aerodynamic facet skirts, and a four-tailpipe exhaust system. It must also acquire a revised grille and faux aluminium mirror casings, as is the situation with every one of the Ingolstadt carmaker’s sporty variations.

So what else is new right here? Very well, the S6 will be just one of among various Audis (as well as a few Bentleys) that may utilize a new four.0-liter TFSI twin-turbocharged engine. Rumors have advised that the unit will provide 415 hp from the Bentley Continental GT, but we really do not presume that is high-quality sufficient for the S6 Avant, or even the saloon for that issue, as it’s under the 435 hp developed by the outgoing model’s five.2-liter V10.

Audi certainly incorporates a talent that could be unrivaled at creating four-wheel generate estates which can be both functional, speedy and incredibly esthetically interesting, and their newest development should certainly be no exception to this rule.

The Avant has identical dashboard layout because the four-door version incorporating some bespoke alternatives such as a load-through hatch, a fixing set including a strength rear hatch. In spite of getting bigger than the past generation, some 70 kilograms (154.32 lbs) have currently been shaved off as a result of the brand new aluminum chassis, in addition to the lighter V8 engine should certainly make details a lot more interesting.
