www.eurocarnews.com – Audi AG – The most efficient engine in the new A6 is the redeveloped 2.0 TDI. This four-cylinder unit develops 130 kW (177 hp). Its 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque stand at the ready between 1750 and 2500 rpm. In conjunction with a manual transmission, it propels the Audi A6 from zero to 100 km (62.14 mph) in 8.7 seconds, then on to a top speed of 228 km/h (141.67 mph). In the EU cycle, it requires just 4.9 liters per 100 km (48.00 US mpg) and emits only 129 g CO2 per km (207.61 g/mile). That is a 13 percent decrease in fuel consumption. The newly developed 3.0 TDI is represented with two versions in the A6 family. Both stand out for their low weight, minimal internal friction, ultra high-precision tuning of the auxiliary units, and a highly sophisticated thermal management system that provides separate coolant circuits for the crankcase and cylinder heads. In the first version, the V6 diesel generates 150 kW (204 hp) and applies 400 Nm (295.02 lb-ft) of torque in the low range of 1250 to 3500 rpm. Paired with a multitronic transmission, it accelerates the A6 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 7.2 seconds and achieves a top speed of 240 km/h (149.13 mph). Its average consumption is a mere 5.2 liters per 100 km, a CO2 emissions level of 137 g per km (220.48 g/mile). Compared with the 140 kW (190 hp) predecessor, this represents an advance of 19 percent. The top-of-the-line version of the 3.0 TDI delivers 180 kW (245 hp), providing 500 Nm (368.78 lb-ft) of …

hi, does anyone know if the new 2012 a6 will have a manual tranny available in the united states? I can’t seem to get a definitive answer. thanks.
WE WANT TDI IN USA!!!!!!! lets see some thumbs up. European cars get 50mpg and USA government leaves us with the worst engines on earth!!! Oh…almost forgot, USA leaves us with a Audi Station wagon diesel….thanks.
my uncle has this car!!!
Superb
I think this is the most beautiful A6 they’ve ever done. Finally an A6 that doesn’t look dull to the point of falling asleep. Love it.
And I -always- only pick silver or white cars anyway.
I still think that the F10 5-series is by far the best looking of the “big three” Germans, but that’s another story.
@johnnyboyfart
Rear is not that ugly if the color is silver or white, but it is extremely ugly if it is black or a darker color.
@MrDrnuri
In terms of silent:
1) E class 2) 5 series 3) A6
This is a beautiful redesign. So happy they finally brought the A6 into the new decade. The front is aggressive and mean, though it seems the rear looks a bit like a Mercedes CL (not good). Still a very hot car.
My hope is that it’s as good as it looks. Then there’s the S6 which I will order (in my mind); especially if Audi keeps the V10.
Now i have to say, that I like the look of this Audi. I really criticized Audi recently, for being drab, ugly, and quite frankly boring. But this new A6 looks great.
FRONT : BEAUTIFUL
BACK : UGLY AS SHIT

@laksh20 I think it follows the new A7′s design language with a quazi-hatchback look
all cars will look sooner or later like Mercedes
GR8 GOING….BUSINESS LOOKS WOULDN’T HAVE HELPED AUDI MUCH….as both 5 series and e class r both business class looks…this is agressive and bold and shoulder screams out…
racy appeal….looks like previous audi a8 from design language….unique and gr8 going….just suspension should be little bit soft…airmatic suspension will do……
