Audi A6 Luxury Car

The A6 is a fast car. The car features a 3.2L V6 engine. This engine works at 255 horsepower and has a balancer shaft so that it can run smoothly. I remember, when I was learning about cars, it took a while to even understand what the cc or the litres were in a car. Suffice to say that a 3.2 Litre engine is the same as 3,200cc. The V6 refers to the shape of the cylinder head. For a V6 there are two cylinder heads in the shape of a V to each other. A cylinder head is the middle part of the engine. The gearbox is a seven speed Continuously Variable Transmission, which allowsthe car to go from zero to sixty miles per hour in about seven seconds and reach speeds of up to 130 miles per hour. This is more than adequate for most countries. It is only in countries with open speed zones that you may find 130mph is not fast enough for your tastes.

A variety of advanced technological features are employed within the A6. The FrontTrak front wheel drive system works to help keepthe car from slipping in dangerous driving conditions. Its Electronic Stabilization Program [ESP] works to apply brakes on individual wheels so that car stops safely in bad weather conditions. It reduces the danger of swerving and thus improves directional stability. As the name suggests, ESP identifiesthe car’s intended direction and response.
