(from Audi Press
Release) Audi quattro four-wheel drive is available on all
engines with 140 kW (190 hp) or above and is standard equipment on
high-end aggregates. The manual shift, 140 kW (190 hp) 2.8 FSI
notwithstanding, this is the very latest generation quattro with the
newly emphasized rear-end design. It gives the A6 tremendous driving
characteristics, remarkable grip and superior safety. Under normal
conditions, the torque split is 40 percent to the front wheels and
60 percent to the rear. The mechanically-operated Torsen
differential immediately diverts most of the power to the axle,
providing better traction whenever the need arises – in extreme
cases, up to 65 percent to the front or 85 percent to the rear.
Most of the new features
found in the A6 sedan and Avant are also present in two other
models: the versatile A6 allroad quattro and the dynamic S6. The A6
allroad quattro can be powered either by the new 213 kW (290 hp) 3.0
TFSI engine or one of the two powerful V6 TDI diesels. The V10 on
the S6 has 320 kW (435 hp). Changes made to the sports model are
limited to interior and exterior optical details.
