Audi A6

The Audi A6 is an executive car made by the German automaker Audi AG. It was the successor of the Audi 100.

History
In 1994, Audi has renamed its models once again, with the former 100 now called A6 and the high-performance model, formerly the S4, now the S6. Otherwise, the changes were mainly cosmetic, with new front sheetmetal.

1995
In its first year, the A6 was powered by the same 2.8-liter V6 as the Audi 90. It was available as a 4-door sedan or station wagon, and competed with the Mercedes E280/E320, Lexus ES 300/GS 300, Infiniti J30, BMW 530i and 540i, Oldsmobile Aurora, Volvo 960 and Saab 9000. The A6 Quattro was the only car in this class available with all-wheel drive.

The A6 wagon had 7-passenger capacity, and standard features like tilt/telescope steering column and a right-side mirror that automatically rotates downward to aid in parking. A 4-speed automatic transmission was standard on the wagon and optional on the sedan. It had electronically adaptive shift logic that selects from five different programs, from Economy to Sport. Unlike the Audi 90s, A6/S6 interiors were roomy.
