Vehicle Overview
All A6 models now have standard curtain-type airbags, and Audi stretches its warranty of the entire vehicle by one year to four years/50,000 miles, including scheduled maintenance.

The A6 is the midpriced model in Audi’s lineup, and it returns in sedan and wagon (called Avant) styling with a choice of front-wheel drive or Quattro permanently engaged all-wheel drive. Audi is the luxury division of Volkswagen, and about 80 percent of Audi’s U.S. sales are Quattro models.

Curtain airbags that deploy along the side windows in side collisions are a new standard feature on the A6 2.8 and 2.7T models, instead of as an option in previous model years. They already were standard on the top-shelf A6 4.2.

The Electronic Stabilization Program, a lateral-skid control system, is a new standard feature on the 2.7T and 4.2 sedans and optional on the 2.8 sedan. Steering-wheel controls for the audio system and a cellular telephone are now standard on the 4.2 sedan and optional on the others.

Exterior
The A6’s smooth, flowing shape was introduced for the 1998 model year. Revamped front styling with a longer hood debuted last year to accommodate a new V-8 engine. At 192 inches overall, the A6 is the same size as the Acura 3.2TL and slightly longer than the Lexus ES 300.

Interior
The elegant, luxurious interior provides ample room for five adults, and all are treated to leather-trimmed seats. Wood trim on the doors, center console and dashboard add touches of warmth. The dashboard has attractive white-on-black gauges, but Audi uses red instrument lighting that some find too harsh on the eyes.

Audi says the A6’s trunk holds 15.4 cubic feet of cargo, which is unexceptional, but it looks much larger than that. The cargo floor is wide and goes well forward, and the trunk opening is large enough to easily load bulky items. The rear seatback folds for additional space.

One of the A6’s coolest features is the Warm Weather Package, which includes a solar sunroof that activates interior fans when the car is parked in the sun.

Under the Hood
Audi uses engine size to designate models. The A6 2.8 uses a 2.8-liter V-6 with 200 horsepower. The A6 2.7T has a 2.7-liter V-6 with dual turbochargers and 250 hp, and the A6 4.2 has a 4.2-liter V-8 with 300 hp — the same engine used in the A8 sedan.

Safety
Safety features are abundant. Besides the required front airbags, all models have side-impact airbags for the front seats and curtain airbags that protect the heads and upper bodies of all outboard passengers. Side airbags for the rear seats are optional. Antilock brakes also are standard.

Audi Q3 Camping Tent is der neue Aztek

Wed, 28 May 2014

The annual Wörthersee festival is much more than a land of ridiculous one-off concepts for fans of the Volkswagen Group to ogle over. Brands like Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and SEAT actually showoff some real stuff, including accessories for existing vehicles.
While we don't normally cover this (are you really interested in new floormat designs for a Skoda Rapid?), one item on this year's list caught our eye. It's for the Audi Q3, the compact crossover from the Quattro people, and well, it's something we've seen before.
Yes, that's a tent. Much like the Pontiac Aztek before it, Audi debuted a tent kit for the Q3. Now, it's not exactly like the detestable Pontiac. This tent can easily be attached and separated from the car, and it's even rated for wind speeds of up to 43 miles per hour (but not while driving, we'd guess). According to Audi, the inflatable tent can be erected in a mere seven minutes (unlike most tents, which require five hours, seven people and a degree in mechanical engineering).

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Audi unveils its Doberhuahua Super Bowl commercial

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

With Super Bowl Sunday less than a week away, this week is going to be dominated by anything and everything football related. That includes advertising and the auto industry, as some of the biggest players prepare to launch multi-million-dollar spots hawking their latest and greatest products.
A veteran of Super Bowl ads, Audi's history has been rather checkered, ranging from controversial to funny to Jason Statham. We aren't entirely sure where to place this year's ad. The German brand has released a pair of teaser videos on the so-called Doberhuahua, a crossbreed of a Doberman Pinscher and a Chihuahua. Now, we have the full spot.
We get the message Audi is going for - compromise is bad - but delivering it via a slobbery, mutant dog strikes us as trying a bit too hard to be funny. Take a look below and let us know what you think of the Audi's Doberhuahua spot. And of course, you'll be able to see the new ad come Sunday, when it airs during the Super Bowl.
