Spied: Audi S6 Avant In Full Production Form
Looking tastefully restrained, but will it have less power?

Our Teamspeed spies have managed to catch an Audi S6 Avant prototype during tests at the Nürburgring. Looking tastefully restrained, the S6 Avant is distinguished by sportier fascias, aerodynamic side skirts, and a four-tailpipe exhaust system. Additionally, we can expect the production model to feature a revised grille and faux aluminium mirror casings. Under the hood, power will likely be provided by a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine which will also be used in the Bentley Continental GT.

It is reported that this engine is using a single turbo version in the Bentley and will produce 415 hp. However, this is not good for the S6 Avant (and saloon) as it's less than the outgoing 5.2-litre V10 that develops 429 hp. Surely, Audi will engineer output to be higher. Exactly how much, we'll have to wait and see.
