2011 Audi S6 Reviews, Specs and Price

The latest generation of the 2011 Audi S6 is one of the most advanced and desirable cars in our range. Thanks to an intelligent combination of steel and aluminium, its body is now significantly lighter which, combined with a new choice of engines, leads to 19% lower fuel consumption. You’ll find a wide range of equipment as standard, including SD card based navigation, 17-inch alloy wheels, Multi-Media Interface with a retractable 6.5” display and leather upholstery. You can also choose from a wide range of innovative options, including a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System and a cockpit-style head-up display that enables you to keep your eyes on the road at all
times.

At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel, release less CO2 and waste less energy. It’s why we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient technologies into the Audi S6. When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as it cannot be used. With a recuperation system, like the one in the Audi A6 Saloon, the kinetic energy is converted into useful electrical energy.

The way it works is simple. While the car is coasting or braking, the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the basic electrical system, which enables the alternator to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel saving of up to 3%.

The efficient cooling system in the Audi S6 can save up to 8 g/km of CO2 compared with the previous model. It’s thanks to a new brushless motor that’s lighter, uses less energy and has a
longer operating life. From the earliest stages of its design, we looked for ways to save energy in the 2011 Audi S6. It’s why every component has been optimised for greater agility, improved efficiency and more driving pleasure. In fact, thanks to its hybrid aluminium construction, this advanced model is now 15% lighter than a conventional steel vehicle.

The Driver’s Information System in the Audi S6 comes as standard with an innovative efficiency programme, which offers advice on improving fuel economy as you drive. Also, via the standard Audi drive select system you can choose a new efficiency setting which aids you in driving even more economically.In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases CO2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by switching off the engine when your car comes to a standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car restarts. In conjunction with TDI and TFSI, it helps save up to 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km.

TFSI direct-injection technology is a unique Audi innovation that includes supercharging, which combines FSI technology with forced induction giving cars an extra injection of power and torque. It also delivers enhanced fuel efficiency as precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine to ‘breathe’ more easily. It results in reduced heat loss and increased output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower
exhaust emissions.

We introduced TDI to the roads in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the past. And since then, we’ve continuously refined it, recently developing commonrail
technology. Under this system, a series of piezo injectors use electrical charge to precisely control the amount of fuel injected into the engine. As well as reducing noise, this allows combustion to happen at a lower temperature, with less oxygen, which lowers emissions.

Translating a driver’s preferences and intentions into road performance, the multitronic® transmission system entertains no compromises whether in terms of dynamism, convenience or economy. multitronic automatic transmission is available on models without quattro permanent all-wheeldrive. A continuously variable transmission, multitronic can transmit up to 400 Nm of torque and permits an exceptionally wide range of gear ratios. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration and a high level of driving comfort. And thanks to its lightweight design and a number of advanced electronic control systems that monitor gradient, road conditions and the way the driver is using the accelerator pedal, multitronic also plays an instrumental role in reducing fuel consumption.


Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the S tronic dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost as two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered and the other the even-numbered gears. So when you’re accelerating in second, it has third gear waiting for you. And once you make the switch, it’s already thinking about fourth. With two clutches working together, you can change gears almost instantly while experiencing smooth, uninterrupted power.
