At its best, it is a dynamic example of what humans can create when they are vested in creating something better and bolder. So Audi is not just about cars. But then again, of course, it’s also about cars.

Excessive luxury is not our goal. But we feel that luxury doesn’t mean “more,” it means “proper.” Proper design, proper ﬁt, proper precision—what Audi thinks of as design purity. Our engineers and designers know that a baroque clock won’t tell time any better than a streamlined one, and all the distractions that surround it actually detract from the purpose of the clock itself. Unless, of course, the purpose is just to be noticed, instead of used to its greatest

potential. We think the real purpose of design is simplicity, elegantly rendered. We think you’ll see and feel that concept throughout our Audi models. In the clean design lines of the exterior, the streamlined dash, and Audi MMI® interface. In our intuitive available Audi connect®,1 the seamless ﬁt and ﬁnish of our materials and the unmistakable look of our Audi Singleframe® grille.2 They all work in concert for a pure aesthetic of timeless taste and precision.

our reputation hinges on the quality of things you don’t see.

Award-winning design

When Audi engineers set out to build the perfect door, they had one very important goal—lighten the load. By using fully pressed aluminum doors, the weight of the Audi A6 door structure was reduced by an astonishing 44 lb, compared to the previous model. This feat, combined with the strength of its door hinges and ability to retain all of its mechanical, safety and infotainment features, is why it won the Doors and Closures Innovation Award.

It’s said that when one door closes, another one opens. It sounds as if whoever said it spent some time at an Audi research and development facility. After all, while you’ll open and close the door on your Audi thousands of times without thinking about it, we’ve obsessed about it for you, in detail. Not just about the reliability of it opening and closing, obviously, but on the proper weight that will make it more pleasing to close. What it should sound like when it is shut. How the locks should click when they are engaged. The opti-

hinges too, of course. And the door itself, which is designed to take the brunt of side-collision impacts, along with several dozen other considerations that we take into account when designing our doors (to say nothing of the countless other components, processors, sensors, features and the inner workings most people will never see). Our doors are more than a symbol of welcoming you into your vehicle, they are products of Audi engineering, and our reputation hinges on them as much as our hinges help support the door.

mal acoustic placement for the speaker port. There are the

1 Doors and Closures Innovation Award 2011, Automotive Circle International. The award is annually bestowed by Automotive Circle International for the most innovative door or closure development in automobile series production.

Acoustic enhancements

We spend countless hours listening, so you don’t have to. By using soft-mounts on our window regulator, or a sound absorber backing within the door cavity itself, as well as a simple foam liner on our door-release cable, Audi engineers have nearly eliminated all of the ambient noise associated with other less-than- acute manufacturing practices.

Speaker placement and enclosure

We work with our partners to select optimal placement of our speakers, a vital aspect of our door design, in order to deliver the most engaging and extraordinary sound you can ﬁnd in the automotive space. Woofers use a specialized lightweight and ported enclosure to ensure optimum low-frequency reproduction.

Torque vectoring

You’ll ﬁnd truth in your corner. Torque vectoring is a handling feature so advanced that it seems to respond to your impulses even before you turn the steering wheel. An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system works within the Audi quattro® all-wheel drive system while utilizing Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to help sense reduced load or wheel-spin on the inside cornering tire, helping to make turns smoother and more responsive.

As you can see, we’ve always felt that the best ideas are the ones that stick. And nowhere is that more true than with Audi quattro® all-wheel drive. Since 1980, we’ve been stuck on articulating an expanding vision of what progressive all-wheel drive technology can deliver. We didn’t simply look at it as something to use in poor conditions, but rather as a perfor-

mance technology that’s built to handle roads from the Alps to the autobahn—and points beyond. You’ve seen quattro® capabilities in the way we dominated the World Rally Cham-

and in the variable rear-wheel-biased power you enjoy in good conditions.1 For more than 30 years and with ﬁve million quattro® systems installed in Audi vehicles, we have continued to reﬁne the technology, developing a rear sport dierential to help maximize performance, and torque vectoring to assist with cornering traction while helping to improve handling.2 We boldly stuck to what worked while the world was trying to catch up, and we built on our vision by adding to a gripping heritage of Audi Sport® performance.

It’s Audi because

power is measured by strength, not size.

It’s perfectly ﬁne for us to admit that other engines have more cylinders, have more horsepower and have larger displacements. It’s just that we’ve made our engines lighter and more ecient than others, to optimize what we call power density.1 Because anyone who has driven an Audi knows unmistakable power when they feel it. It means strength that pulses with torque at the moment of acceleration, provides a true, quick response as you change lanes, and turns the most routine cloverleaf into a joyful application of performance

handling. Sure, we love hitting the throttle and feeling the thrust of acceleration,2 but we also want our drivers to experience the balance and precision of Audi engineering. From the A3 to our track-bred line of Audi performance cars, we are in the business of engineering emotion using more compact engines that concentrate power, while using less weight to your advantage, helping improve handling to the point where others just feel heavy.

TDI®

A turbocharged, fuel-sipping variant, our TDI® clean diesel engine delivers uncompromising Audi performance with bold eciency. it gets better mileage per gallon than comparable gasoline engines, but it also produces more low-end torque, which is best expressed in the elasticity you have when passing in the 30- to 60-mph range.

FSI®

into the combustion chambers at precisely managed times and depths. What that means for drivers is that a fully homogenized intake charge helps increase power while also reducing fuel consumption and emissions, making eciency more powerful.

TFSI®

At Audi, TFSI represents a combination of two of the brand’s core areas of expertise—direct injection and forced induction. By adding forced induction (turbocharging or supercharging) to Audi FSI direct injection, the pressurized intake charge is cooled by directly injected fuel, thus achieving eciency and performance combined with higher compression ratios—previously only attainable by naturally aspirated engines.

Elephant skull

How nature solved the apparent conundrum of an elephant’s skull didn’t escape the notice of Heinrich Timm, the longtime lead engineer for Audi. The weight of the tusks and the general size of an elephant’s head would seem to make it impossible for the animal to actually be able to carry it. But the design genius behind the elephant’s skull is actually to make it lightweight, yet sturdy. Its predominantly hollow design is buered by thin, connective bone walls, which act as strong, weight-bearing cells. Audi designers used that idea when building our aluminum and steel structures. Reducing weight, yet enabling strength.

Aluminum

Our large aluminum castings are a telling example of Audi ultra® lightweight technology. Primarily used in high-stress areas, these multifunctional castings achieve exceptional rigidity while also allowing for freedom of design, all while remaining extremely lightweight.

It’s Audi because

the elegant structure of nature becomes a blueprint of eciency.

It seems strange to say that, while we build strong, complex and high-performing machines, we’re naturalists at heart. Then again, it might not be that unusual, seeing how nature itself builds strong, complex and highperforming machines as well. When we developed the thinking behind our Audi ultra® lightweight technology initiative, we knew that nature would serve as an inspiration to greater structural eciency. Take the structure of the elephant skull pictured here. It has to be lightweight, yet capable of carrying a heavy load. It’s porous, but its structure is such that it enhances its stability and

strength. We do the same, for example, with aluminum. Positioned one way, aluminum materials can be ﬂexible. Positioned another, they are strong and rigid, and give better support. We also looked to bamboo, which is strong at the conjoined areas (nodes), and ﬂexible along its stem. Our designs allow for both rigidity and ﬂexibility where each is most needed, and for eciency overall.2 As we continue to develop strategies to improve the performance aspects and eciency of our vehicles, we don’t shy away from the world around us.2 We boldly engage it even closer still.

It’s been said that great writers start with one exceptional character and let the plot organically build and ﬂow from there. We took a page from their book, so to speak, when designing certain aspects of the Audi A6. Speciﬁcally, our signature LED lighting technology. Developed with purpose in mind, it ended up serving as an equally brilliant design feature. Just consider the formation of the available full LED headlights. The design not only spreads light evenly across the road, but plays a central role in the vehicle’s character. From there, the story progresses one line at a time, starting with something we call the Tornado line. Bisecting the body proﬁle, it runs strongly through the middle of the vehicle to give it a bold, progressive stance that tells the world that there’s pedigree here, but not a predictable one.

It’s by design that we have no equal.

Balance has never been a prerequisite for passionate design. Maybe that’s why nothing, from the gleaming aluminumtrim surrounds to the burnished decorative wood or brushed aluminum inlays, is symmetrical. We considered every component of the interior and found that the people interacting with it would have dierent needs. So the wraparound interior isn’t in balance—it’s designed to meet the particular needs of the driver or the passenger. We feel this is a uniquely Audi perspective, to design with an imbalance in mind. From the layout of the dash to the luxurious materials and top-ﬂight craftsmanship, we are proud to stand apart. Crafted with an eye on originality, the Audi A6 interior provides a welcome contrast to those obsessed with all things being equal.

Conventional wisdom may suggest that an all-wheel drive system is there purely to provide conﬁdence in inclement weather, but the available Audi quattro® all-wheel drive is much more than just a foul-weather friend. It’s performance engineering that takes on a dry, twisty mountain road as beautifully as it tracks through powder.1 In other words, quattro® helps enhance performance by appropriately transferring power to the necessary wheels when accelerating and turning, so you have conﬁdence-inspiring performance for almost any road condition. Inclement weather aside, the really gripping story about quattro® is how it performs overall, forging a bond between you and the road that really connects.

All-weather capability

There is a reason quattro® is considered such a friend in foul weather. Under normal driving conditions, the center dierential splits torque at a ratio of 40:60 front to rear, but as conditions change and become more challenging, the ratio is optimized to help maximize grip. And with the ability to transfer the majority of available torque mechanically to the wheels with the most grip, the operation is exceptionally smooth, even under extreme conditions.

Comfort mode

Perfect for less-than-perfect roads, this setting adds optimized steering and a closer shift pattern to help provide a more relaxed drive.

Dynamic mode

Tighter steering and a more responsive throttle give this setting an aggressive feel and focused performance.

Auto mode

The best of both worlds, dialed to automatically adjust settings for a seamless combination of comfort and responsiveness based on your driving style and road conditions.

Transmission

From very responsive, quick gear changes to more gradual acceleration, the transmission is at the heart of Audi drive select.

For us, losing weight has nothing to do with vanity. It’s all about making us stronger and more agile. By reducing the weight of the chassis and engine, we are able to harness more power more quickly — and, not incidentally, more eciently.1 That means the Audi A6, equipped with the supercharged

3.0-liter TFSI® engine, delivers the potent acceleration of a traditional V8 with the eciency of a V6.1 Improved miles per gallon1 and more beats per minute? We call that a win-win.

310 horsepower 325 lb-ft of torque

Induction technology—TVS supercharger

Compressing the airﬂow to the engine forces more air into the cylinder and, ultimately, more power from each ignition, signiﬁcantly improving the engine’s power-to-displacement ratio.

Maximum boost pressure up to 11.6 psi

2.0 TFSI® four-cylinder

This 2.0-liter turbocharged DOHC engine produces 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and combines the valvelift system, Audi FSI® direct injection and turbocharging for great power and overall eciency.

Eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission

As the perfect companion for almost any road trip, the eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission available in the Audi A6 oers eight optimized, carefully chosen gear ratios. Selected automatically or via its consolemounted shifter or steering wheel with available shift paddles, precise shifts are delivered without sacriﬁcing the smooth action of the Tiptronic® automatic. A high ﬁnal drive ratio allows optimization of lower gears, yet the transmission’s upper range emphasizes fuel economy— particularly at highway speeds.

More twist for power

Modern supercharger rotor-vanes have a 160° twisted shape for higher pressures and improved eciency. And by using a four-vane design instead of a three-vane design, thermal eciency and air-handling characteristics are improved without increasing the size of the supercharger unit.

3.0 TFSI V6

The 310-horsepower 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine is paired with FSI® direct injection and a beltdriven supercharger that has counter-rotating four-vane rotors that force air through dual intercoolers at boosted pressures of up to

11.6 psi. It is this combination of engineering achievements that allows for nearly instantaneous buildup of 325 lb-ft of torque directly o idle engine speeds.

Start-stop eciency system

As an intelligent vehicle system, this highly effective engine management program can lower fuel consumption as well as CO

emissions by

automatically shutting o your engine while you wait at a red light or, perhaps, during certain stop- and-go driving. Once you are ready to resume, or if other critical vehicle systems require it, the engine will restart nearly instantaneously.

With eciency comes great power.

Audi multitronic® transmission

As a continuously variable transmission, the available Audi multitronic combines the eciency of a manual gearbox with the convenience of an automatic transmis-

Legendary engineering has shifted gears once again. Not content with a heritage of performance, we’ve developed an even more responsive and ecient way of applying power.1 Our available revolutionary eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission with Dynamic Shift Program (DSP) helps to enhance performance while also allowing you to command upshifts or downshifts through the available steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. A new gear has been found—what you do with it is your choice.

Fuel for thought.

Information Provided by:

We thought you should know: Diesel sports a greater power density than traditional gasoline, which means that a gallon of diesel fuel has about 15% more energy than a comparable amount of gas, and combusts more eciently in the engine. The Audi TDI® clean diesel engine has achieved ultra-low emissions vehicle (Bin-5/ULEV II) status in all 50 states while producing approximately 20% fewer CO2 emissions than the traditional gasoline-fueled engine. And the brainy attributes don’t hide the brawn—in fact, Audi has dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the years with Audi TDI® prototype race cars. With these facts in mind, maybe you are thinking that an Audi TDI® might be your choice—which goes to show that clean diesel really is fuel for thought.

Driver Assistance

Information Provided by:

We’re solving problems before you even know you have them.

We shed light on your blind spots.

Audi strives to constantly up the ante on the driver assistance tools built right into the Audi A6, and they’re all designed to work in tandem with you, wherever you go. Whether it’s advanced technologies like night vision assistant that uses infrared technology to spot pedestrians and other obstacles on the road, or radar sensors that Audi side assist utilizes to inform you of vehicles approaching from the side and rear, you’ll ﬁnd that we’ve developed them to work together to help keep you in charge of the road. The whole suite of available driver assistance features can be found in the A6. It’s another testament to the eort Audi puts into helping ensure that you’re not the only one keeping an eye on the road.

Head-up display

With easy-to-view, accurate visual information right at eye level, this available feature displays important driving information and even pedestriandetection warnings.

The available Audi side assist uses radar sensors and two dierent optical warnings to help keep the driver informed about what is approaching from hard-to-see angles behind and to the side of the vehicle.

Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go

Not only retains a preset distance from vehicles ahead, but resumes acceleration when you’re ready. Using long-range radar and a camera, the available Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go helps read the trac conditions and adjusts the speed, helping to bring the vehicle to a full stop before accelerating when trac ﬂow resumes.

Night vision assistant

Using infrared technology to detect what lies ahead, this available feature uses thermal-imaging technology to help you avoid trouble. Pedestrians can be detected over 300 feet in front of the vehicle, while objects can be detected over 900 feet ahead—all shown on the 7" color driver information system.

1 A8 model shown.

Audi pre sense® plus

The available Audi pre sense plus oers comprehensive driving assistance with sensors in the front, side and rear. After visual, physical and aural collision warnings, there are four distinct phases for automatic preparation for the unavoidable: an upsurge of brake pressure, safety belt pre-tensioning, partial braking, and sunroof and window preparation. In severe cases, Audi pre sense plus will engage full braking and deceleration.

Top and corner view cameras

Four cameras on this available technology allow for an overhead view of your surroundings, making parking just a little easier. The technology shows you where your vehicle is in relation to obstacles nearby, giving you the conﬁdence to maneuver in practically any environment.

Audi active lane assist

Operating at speeds above 38 mph, this available system helps detect when the vehicle begins to leave the lane without signaling. Then, through gentle, corrective steering eorts, it helps the vehicle remain in the lane and vibrates the steering wheel as an additional warning. This way, Audi active lane assist complements the driver’s decision-making process and further solidiﬁes the bond between driver and machine.

We don’t see safety as an option,

or a luxury.

Audi engineers don’t equate strength with size. Big is just big—strong is a more ﬂexible concept. While you may not think about weight savings when it comes to strength, we’d like you to take a second and think again. The aluminum hybrid construction developed by Audi engineers is a lightweight and unyielding revolutionary technology that oers an innovative approach to both weight savings and strength. Airbag technology is designed to respond dierently based on seat position, and specially constructed crumple zones give way upon impact to help mitigate potential injury in a collision.1 All of this, combined with the rigidity of laser seam-welded joints that enhance the strength of every Audi we make, helps diminish the impact of an unavoidable event.

Safety

Ten airbags

Strategically placed around the

occupants, the option of up to

ten airbags in the Audi A6 offers

passive safety in the event of a

collision, helping to protect the

driver and passengers on all sides.

Tailor-made blanks

Developed to make the best possible use of the

body’s potential, tailor-made blanks are the result

of a special manufacturing process that can help

strengthen the upper zone of the B-pillars, while

the lower zone is designed to help mitigate the

impact in the event of a side collision.

Working to spread a “bend, don’t break” philosophy.

ESC and ABS

Computerized technology that works in perfect sync with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps minimize any loss of stability, applying brake pressure to individual wheels and reducing throttle input to help counter oversteer or understeer when the vehicle needs it.

1 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy in all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.

Sound

Information Provided by:

Audi is Latin for “listen,” so you know we take sound very seriously.

When even a German lullaby

is an ode to sound engineering.

It would be an interesting challenge, a note-perfect Brahms’ Lullaby delivered through the tuned speakers of an Audi sound system versus the exhilaration of the passing lane. Either way, performance wins. But it goes way beyond the gentle tones of a German composer. Audi sound engineers don’t simply make the cabin acoustics sound perfect for your music, they make the drivetrain sing. Or, if not sing, then put it in harmony with every other element of the driving experience. From the sound of a shutting door, to the click of a turning knob, to the full integration of the available BOSE® or Bang & Olufsen® sound systems, there’s an orchestra of engineering that ﬁlls your cabin with faithfully rendered, thrilling sound. Whatever it is you are looking for, Audi sculpts sounds in a way that matches your mood, even when you need soothing while in trac.

BOSE® Surround Sound System

Hitting the right note on every drive, the available BOSE® Surround Sound System turns your Audi into a 14-speaker powerhouse with the help of innovative sound engineering and optimized speaker placement. Add to that AudioPilot® noise compensation, which helps maintain a consistent volume under varying speeds and road conditions, and you get an acoustic listening environment that rivals any live performance.

Bang & Olufsen® Advanced Sound System

The passion of Bang & Olufsen® matches well with Audi. Just consider the remarkable available Bang & Olufsen® Advanced Sound System. By focusing on design and performance together, it has become the symbol of acoustic perfection. Bang & Olufsen® engineers help to craft meticulously rendered sound through 15 speakers (including two innovative retractable aluminum acoustic lenses) and an impressive 1,300 watts of pure power. The result: sound as captivating to your ears as an Audi is on your eyes.

15 speakers

Optimized sound ﬂows through strategically placed speakers around the cabin. Hear it, and you’ll instant- ly become engrossed in the tiniest detail and warmth of the sound.

LED taillight technology

2 Tires are supplied and warranted by their manufacturer. High-performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which oer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tire speciﬁed for your car or its equivalent. These high-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the inﬂation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at optimum levels. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices.
