Audi A6 and RS6 world premiere

26th August 2008

Audi fans enjoyed a duo of world premieres today at its show stand as the German brand unveiled its facelifted A6 and the first showing of the RS6 saloon at the Moscow Motor Show.

The new A6 exectutive saloon has built on its strengths and is said to be even better than previous versions, delivering improved drivabilty through inreased grip, better suspension and more agile handling.

There is also a big change to the engine line-up, which now contains six petrol and four diesel units. The pick of the petrol engines is a range-topping direct-injection 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol unit, producing 285bhp. And a new 2.0-litre TDI ‘e’ diesel, which will return 53.3mpg and emits only 139g/km of CO2.

The firm also revealed the saloon version of the RS6 which will use a 5.0-litre twin-turbo V10 engine.
