Audi A6 opens for ordering

The brand new Audi A6 starts orders in the UK in January 2011, valued from £30,145 (including 20% VAT) - first customer deliveries in march 2011.

Audi A6 2.0 TDI model weighs just 1,575kg, 15% less than an all-steel equivalent – 4.92 metres in length, 1.87 metres wide, 1.46 metres high. A6 2.0 TDI (177PS) manual is the most effective derivative – 0-62mph in 8.7 seconds, top speed 142mph .

The Audi A6 has been redesigned from the ground up with the perk of the brand’s most forward-looking lightweight construction methods, engine performance standards, chassis improvements and in-car technological improvements.

A6 has a completely reworked light, rigid and safe body.

The range of four powerful and very practical engines available at launch in the UK: 2.0-litre TDI 177PS, 3.0-litre TDI 204PS, 3.0-litre TDI 245PS and 3.0-litre TFSI 300PS units with advanced direct injection technology for the slimmest feasible fuel burn rate, and work in combination with the start-stop system, the energy recovery system. As a consequence, fuel economy has increased by up to 19 per cent compared to the prior model.
