This is the image released by www.carmagazine.co.uk of the new Audi A6, due to be released in the year 2010. The magazine says they've talked with the insiders at Audi and made this artist's impression after having a discussion with he techies at the Ingolstadt based company. Even though the car has the trademark Audi classy lines and stateliness, it's not probably different or dynamic enough to excite us much. People want change, but Audi seems to refuse to agree to the theory. The German brand has retained the goatee grille for the car, but headlamps are new, and probably the only new bits that adds a bit of excitement to the package.
The car will be the first to be produced through a new construction technique developed by Audi to cut down weight while not compromising rigidity. The new car will feature aluminium and alloy construction along with some new welding and bonding techniques. The weight of the frame with the new technique will be 50% less than an all-steel construction while still having 50% more torsional rigidity.
The second generation of Aluminium Space Frame or ASF as Audi calls the tech, will be introduced to the A6, A8 and the A7 first. The list of probable engines for the new car is as under
PETROLS 2.8 V6 FSI, 190bhp, 2.8 V6 FSI, 224bhp, 3.2 V6 FSI, 265bhp, 4.2 V8 FSI, 350bhp, 5.2 V10 FSI, 420bhp (S6), 5.0 V10 FSI Biturbo, 580bhp (RS7)
DIESELS 2.7 V6 TDI, 185bhp, 3.0 V6 TDI, 238bhp
