1999-2005 Audi S6 (Type C5) Limousine / Avant

The S6 of the second A6 generation (C5) was offered only with a 4.2-liter V8 engine. The revised eight-cylinder with variable intake manifold and five valves per cylinder now developed 250 kW (340 hp). Compared to the standard A6 (with four- or six-cylinder engines), the model had a 37 mm longer front end and additionally heavily flared fenders (also used in the A6 4.2 with 220 kW and the Audi RS6 of this generation) and like all A6 C5, it was equipped with a fully galvanized body. In order to reduce weight, the bonnet and fenders of all V8 models are made of aluminum. There was already an Audi double-frame radiator grille from April 1999, the preliminary stage of the new single-frame grille. This appearance was carried over to all A6 models during the facelift of the A6 C5 in May 2001. Between September 1999 and May 2001 the S6 was available with a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission (Tiptronic); after the facelift in 2001, the manual transmission was withdrawn from the range. Although only one engine was available, there were two engine codes (AQJ until 08/2000 and the ANK after that date). The engines differed in the intake tract and various control electronics; in contrast to the AQJ, the ANK engine had four heated lambda sensors instead of two, although from model year 2000 the AQJ engine also met the EU3 standard instead of the D3 standard. The sedan accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h with manual transmission in 5.7 seconds (automatic: 6.7 s); the Avant is 0.1 s slower in both cases. The S6 was electronically limited at a speed of 250 km / h. Like every Audi with these performance data, this model also had quattro all-wheel drive as standard, as well as other standard features in contrast to the A6.

Note: The Audi A6 (Type 4A-C4) was manufactured in Europe from 1994-1997 and in China from 1998-2003. History The factory designation "4A - C4" for the fourth generation of this series was continued to be used on the Audi A6, as it is not considered as a new model, but a facelift of the Audi 100 C4. The basic technical layout is identical to the previous model. Like its predecessor models, the A6 C4 has the fully galvanized body introduced in 1985. It is equipped with four, five, six and eight-cylinder engines. The Quattro all-wheel drive system is also available as an option in selected engine and equipment variants. The most noticeable change compared to its predecessor, the Audi 100 C4, besides the facelift, is the introduction of the most powerful diesel Audi engine for its time. It is an in-line five-cylinder with direct injection, distributor injection pump, turbocharging (bypass turbocharger), air mass meter, electronically controlled exhaust gas recirculation and exhaust gas cleaning using a catalytic converter. This unit has an output of 103 kW (140 PS) and is technically a modified version of the 84 kW engine from the Audi 100. This diesel engine allows Audi to exceeds the 200 km / h mark for the first time. This engine is available with an automatic transmission or, for the first time, a manual transmission with six gears on a diesel vehicle. This diesel engine was also available for the Quattro version. Exterior Exterior changes to the facelift model sold as the A6 compared to the Audi 100 are colour coded bumpers (without black plastic strips that appear attached), painted in the color of the vehicle. Side strips on the doors / fenders that are also in the same color as the exterior paintwork. They make a strong visual effect and give the vehicle a completely new, modern look. In addition, the front and rear have been revised and visually adapted to the new Audi line-up of A4 and A8 models, which were also introduced in 1994. The right wing mirror is now slightly smaller than the left, this reduces the frontal area (and indirectly the drag coefficient). In addition, many of the simpler model versions already have equipment details that were previously only offered in the higher versions of the Audi 100. As with the A4 and A8, the odometer and trip meter are now made using LCD technology. A higher quality version of the plastic surfaces of the interior creates [...]
