@J Thorsson i actually have an 2014 passat, my dad has an 2016 s6 and i would take the s6 over the passat all the time, but the value is better on the passat
My dad drives one, and I can tell you it deserves the S badge. It’s not a V8 petrol, its not a V10, but it doesn’t have to be. If you want a V8 petrol engine buy an RS6. The power of this car while driving with not even 7 liters per 100km is great. It really is a great car. Drives great, sounds actually really good. If you want an aggressive looking, loud, (fast) fast car buy an RS6. If you want a really nice car to drive around everyday with enough power and a great fuel economy buy an S6. Great car
absolutely exactly what i think. They should have just named this S6D and also made an S6 petrol with the old v8 turbo or even maybe the 2.9 v6 from the rs5 ... but this diesel? sorry that's disappointing especialy those fake exhaust tips. The Video is great though! Keep it up!
So in the morning when it's cold out and you're standing at a traffic light, people will see the smoke come out way before the 4 tail pipes.... EMBARASSING !!!
@autotopnl: Very nice review...I think I agree with every word you said🙏...as leasing rates are very good it might still be an option🧐...despite all the things you mentioned and I agree😅🙈
1. There is no "fake sound" generator, the exhaust has a valve system 2. the gearbox far from "reallyyy slow" or feel like 8 y/o. Gearshift is near instant in manual mode. Delay in other mode is also confort for daily driving avoiding constant gearshifting as there is 8 of them.
One think I absolutely do not understand is, why everybody say that the S6 is more expensive than the A6 50TDI??? I have a M550d and I plan now for my next car to buy the S6 (because BMW have no more the 50d engine and the A/S6 have more legroom ). I configure the S6 and the A6 50TDI. When I put in the exactly same options, the A6 50TDi is 300€ more expensive then the S6. Because the S6 have the S line interieur and exterieur, the 4 zone A/C and a lot of other options. So this comparison of the price make no sense! It is not a real S6 in my eyes, but it is a good price for this car I think!
On the other hand it can be fixed fairly easy. If you're into euro wagons, well even a stage 1 or 2 tuning to the ecu might have serious impact on the performance. As for the exhaust I'm sure there will be aftermarket rear bumpers designed to fit a sick single exhaust pipe (which looks cool on wagons IMO) but anyways, those are my two cents. If you can afford that car, it is quite possible you can afford some little tweaks to make it a proper fast wagon. (:
I believe it's a bit too expensive to buy one and start doing things to the car to be capable of doing what it should do out of the factory. The "S" should mean more than this car has to offer. IMO
Christian Andolini not my i rent it, went to Amsterdam and nurburgring. Nice to drive, but in very low speed engine running seems bit rough, not refine enough. in middle range speed very powerful.
interesting how it has 64 hp more than the A6 50 TDI and 250 hp less than the RS6. I honestly thought the S6 was supposed to bridge the gap between A6 and RS6?
People complaining about the exhausts that they are never going to see because they aren't going to ever own one 😂. I love this s6 I still think if they're using diesel they should've used the V8 diesel they put in the sq7 and sq8 but either way it's a good car and it's not meant for picky 14 year olds that complain about aspects of the car that they won't ever get to properly experience. It's got other priorities than to please petrol heads and children. If you want outright performance buy a Porsche panamera sport turismo. Becuase even the new rs6 is slow compared to its rivals. Anyway that's my opinion feel free to tell me I'm wrong :)
It's not the worst the auto industry has done in the past 30 years BUT it reflects on how they think we costumers are : easily mislead. They think we are suckers.
That fake exhaust pipes have reason they're there. From what I read, the main designer of this Audi S6 intended this to have real quad exhaust pipes because it was meant to be petrol. But then someone at Audi decided to make it diesel. The problem was that design couldn't be changed at that time they decided it to be diesel so they kept the exhaust pipes and just made them fake. I mean it still looks dumb but it wasn't meant to be like that on purpose I guess.
I bought and A6 45 TDI with S-line outside package. I can say that I am not at all bummed to see what the S6 turned out to be. I have never really been into estate cars so RS6 has not really tempted me. Not that I would want to spend that much money on a car. I'd rather go for MB GT 4door
Have to love when a 6 figure vehicle comes with an underwhelming engine selection and fake exhaust tips... wtf Audi. I've been an S and RS owner for years but now it looks like moving forward the RS models are the only way to go.
super car for long distance trips! not explosive but very constant and fast acceleration. The fake exhaust are disappointing but we think that the guys from Audi made a quite good job with this diesel „sound“. 💨🏁
Dutch plate number and his name is Max! 🙂 The world champion of the Formula One 2021 season! 😉 The video is very cool and the car is very wonderful! 🙂 Greetings from Hungary!
This is so funny. Had one on the Autobahn a couple of weeks back and the driver was clearly younger and from an Audi car dealer. He was flooring the car pretty much all the time and it was close, but no big problem for me to overtake that dude once the Autobahn turned into 3 lanes with my X5 M50d from 2014. I think Audi needs a new sale strategy or better Diesel engines (the V8 Diesel was nice but nowhere close to reliable). However, the looks of Audi cars is really nice. The RS models actually look awesome.
Like others said with new C8 Audi's gap between S6 and RS6 being 250 hp is just too big and gap between A6 and S6 is so small I'd rather buy top-of-the-line A6 and put a chip on it - might as well be faster than this S6. Not saying I don't like the S6, but Audi didn't think this through with C8 lineup and that's a bit sad, considering how much more room there is for BMW and other car makers without Audi giving fair competition, and RS6/S6 C7 being highly rated by people makes it worse for Audi themselves.
On the next episode of Audi secrets, if you actually pop the engine cover open, you'll realize that the engine is only two thirds the size it appears to occupy
The fact that every car of the new Audi "S" (not RS) Generation is diesel, has fake vents, fake sound (by using a fckn sound generator) and has that fake exhausts is extremely disappointing for me..
Funny how a lot of people complain about the fake exhaust tips, but most of the people who buy these cars will replace their exhausts with something else better with real tips.
Just a thought from a Watchenthusiast: If you do straps, leather mainly, put rubber on the inside! It will be more comfy. Doing it on Cloth straps works too though eventho cloth is already almost as good as rubber. Also please don't try to go in the direction of Vincero, MVT or Daniel Wellington. Every person that values watches hates em. I hope you will do good to the company because you got some good designs. Make something unique to the movement like put a high frequenzy quartz on them if developing a precise Auto is too expensive. Very few make these insanely smooth moving dials (high hz makes it smoother) and i think these kind of watches are very interesting
I dont´think there´s anything wrong by pumping fake sound over the diesel to be honest, as long as it sounds better than the regular diesel. What I do think is wrong is doing this bullshit with the exhaust Audi is doing since some time. That really is an absolute no go and an absolute reason to not buy the car, even if it is very good otherwise. As you pointed out, it definitely lacks power to back off the S6 badge. Audi failed pretty badly with the S6 in my opinion, I would get an M550d over this anytime.
I don't think it's the gear box that's slow. It's actually the turbo lag because boost only starts to build around 2000 revs. Below that the ECU completely guts torque and power to meet the silly German emissions regulations.
Happily in the US we don't get many diesels. Sadly, we don't get the Avant (though we will get the RS6 Avant, but probably for only 1 year). Happily we have TH-cam because... Sadly, we don't have reviewers as good as this guy.
The S modell have fake exhaust system because it was a communication fail between the design group and engineers. The designers thought that the cars would have petrol engines. So they designed it with quad exhausts. And its a deadline time for the designers to design the cars. And in the end of the deadline, the designers got the message that the S cars will have diesel engines. So when they got the message that it would have diesel, it was already too late to remake it and when they tested it in the cold it looked screwed up on the back bumper when the bumper got warm because of the fumes. So the only choice was to plug the exhausts.
I've had 4x A6 in a past, an S4, and I still own an A6 and tuned S2 right now. Audi is a wonderful car and very easy to live with everyday! Especially with excellent Quattro system, which all of my Audi's had/have! Unfortunately I need to agree with Max that I don't understand what they were thinking of making new S6 ...first of all an Diesel, but okay on the other hand I drive and like Diesel too, while it has huge torque and its fine...BUT 350hp in 2019 is too less for an real S car from Audi!! At least I would expect 435hp like now already old SQ7 has and that would be fine! Here I don't know what to think about! Still I will definitely as an Audi guy keep buying and driving Audi's, only need to be honest, I would not consider of buying this one! I believe an A6 which is significantly cheaper with Chip tuning would give you a similar performance if even not better than this one! For example my friend has 2012 A6 biturbo tdi with stock 314hp, chipped by REVO to 380hp and insane 850Nm of torque! It does 4,3sec 0-100km/h, 13,0s 100-200km/h and top 293 km/h ALL by GPS!!! And we are talking about 7-8 years old car here, beating this brand new S6 tdi in every single discipline! I hope Audi will soon have an answer on this with a stronger engine and hopefully an petrol version what an real S model should actually be!
Might as well save yourself money get an older 335D 2016 - 2018 for £20,000 to £30,000 and remap it to 375 bhp it would be quicker and the good thing is you don't get fake exhausts either.

Yes , i’m not buying the fucking audi for that reason, dont you think is because the money!
yeah embarrassing but there are lots of other brands which are doing the same unfortunately.
Audi must build there diesel cars with these exhausts because of the laws
Said it before it's crazy if you think about it this car had a V10 a few years ago...
A New V6 can make more power than a old V10 though. Although i agree V10 was much better sounding.

lolk Anonie True story mate. Audi made a step into the wrong direction
it doesn't deserve to be called an S6 considering it has a diesel, fake exhaust sounds and fake exhaust pipes......I'm dissapointed audi
its diesel becouse business people use it, hp- lover buy the rs6 or else rs modells
@J Thorsson i actually have an 2014 passat, my dad has an 2016 s6 and i would take the s6 over the passat all the time, but the value is better on the passat

“This is a low point in the automotive industry “... Yep, totally agree with you there. You hit the nail on the head.
Fun fact: the Audi a6 c7 competition is faster than this s6 c8 😂
True! I have one stage1 with 380hp and 800nm. Never tested but it should be faster than this S6 C8 😅
absolutely exactly what i think. They should have just named this S6D and also made an S6 petrol with the old v8 turbo or even maybe the 2.9 v6 from the rs5 ... but this diesel? sorry that's disappointing especialy those fake exhaust tips.

I understand this Audi S6 very well, it will be fast and easy to use. And it is an beefy and ideal dailydriver car.
This car is such a shame. The 4.0 TDI with 435hp would be okey but this???
It would be propably to heavy...more likely 2.9 v6...
Tdi is europe only, everyone else will recieve a 2.9 tfsi with 450 hp.
3.0 TDI on a S4 & S5 might be understandable. But on a S6 & S7, indeed, 4.0 TDI would have been ok.
The first 15 seconds really sum up this car lmao

"What we've got here is the failure to communicate"
if you don't like audi or german cars, you may always rely on dutch car industry, or design and produce your own car.
Those fake exhaust are like putting an RS badge on your A1 25 TFSI. Or AMG on the weakest Mercedes, M badge on the smallest BMW engine etc.
2021 its gonna be better 😉
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with Audi's decision to go Diesel with this S6... S cars are more than just their engines 🤷♂️...
I appreciate Audi messing up so much on the new S6 because now my old V10 S6 should go up in value lol.
tbh I think there are small fighter jets that produce less CO2 than a V8 petrol engine
We have the v10 version and that sounds so good

Ok. I need this car.
The S6 is really a dissapointment imo. This time they didn't really get it right but the RS6 looks more promising
I really get your point. I agree 100% with you
I don't think it's the gear box that's slow. It's actually the turbo lag because boost only starts to build around 2000 revs. Below that the ECU completely guts torque and power to meet the silly German emissions regulations.

The kind of engine I expect in a premium SUV not an Audi S car. The torque would be nice in a manual though
It's not the transmission. In fact it is the same ZF as BMW uses. It is the way Audi is setting it because of WLTP and Euro 6...
The S modell have fake exhaust system because it was a communication fail between the design group and engineers. The designers thought that the cars would have petrol engines. So they designed it with quad exhausts. And its a deadline time for the designers to design the cars.

For example my friend has 2012 A6 biturbo tdi with stock 314hp, chipped by REVO to 380hp and insane 850Nm of torque! It does 4,3sec 0-100km/h, 13,0s 100-200km/h and top 293 km/h ALL by GPS!!! And we are talking about 7-8 years old car here, beating this brand new S6 tdi in every single discipline! I hope Audi will soon have an answer on this with a stronger engine and hopefully an petrol version what an real S model should actually be!
love that akrapovic
Max's spirit has been crushed 💔
Super auto👍🏆😎😍
wow this vedio is awesome 😍😍 I like this type of vedio
can we have a more vedio like this plz
I think the old A6 C7 V6 BiTDI will be a better option, considering they are like for like on performance but at a more affordable price.
If you put the gearbox in manual shifting it’s really responsive
Might as well save yourself money get an older 335D 2016 - 2018 for £20,000 to £30,000 and remap it to 375 bhp it would be quicker and the good thing is you don't get fake exhausts either.
