Car articles about Audi A6 Avant 2.8 quattro by year
Forty years ago, permanent all-wheel drive began its triumphant advance in passenger cars. Audi used the drive concept in large-scale passenger car production for the first time. It started with the original Quattro, but gradually the 4x4 concept became established in all model series. How have the cars aged, which ones have an exceptional status? Are there alternatives to the original Quattro? This report looks back to the beginnings and traces the career of all-wheel drive in Audi passenger cars.
With the Avant RS2, Audi and Porsche collaborated to create a compact high-performance estate car unlike anything seen before. The 2.2-liter five-cylinder engine produced 315 hp, the car accelerated almost as fast as a Ferrari F355 costing twice as much and could not be left behind by a Porsche 993. Even with five people and a lot of luggage on board if necessary. Today, the RS2 is a cult car of the nineties and very much in demand. This driving report tells the story of the Audi-Porsche station wagon and shows it in current and historical pictures, supplemented by press documents from the time.
The Audi S6 stands for the rare combination of V8 power and unobtrusive estate car design. Despite 290 hp, the S6 remains understated and impresses with comfort and surprisingly modern technology. Its clear, analog design makes it a worthy representative of its time.
The success story of Audi's RS6 models has now lasted 20 years and four model series. With the very first model, the Audi sports department succeeded in transforming the rather staid A6 into a sports car suitable for families. In the meantime, the first model series have long since become classics and fetch collector's prices. This article tells the story of how the Audi RS6 came to be and gives tips on what to look out for when buying one.
