2011 Audi A6 Review Specs and Prices

This new Audi A6 was available with a wide range of engines and configurations. The 30-valve 2.4 and 2.8 litre V6 engines represented the bulk of the A6's development programme, with a multitude of other engine configurations available throughout the globe. As an alternative to the manual transmission, a five-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was also available. In 2002, the Audi A6 received a facelift, with revised headlight and grille design, exposed exhaust tips, and slight changes to accessory body moldings, and taillight colour from red to amber in North American models. A new host of engines were also introduced. The 1.8 litre engine was deleted and replaced by a 2.0 litre powerplant with 96 kilowatts (131 PS; 129 bhp).
