With its huge 309kW / 550Nm twin-turbo V8, this all-paw wagon is a true sleeper
And with its extensive factory option list, it's one for the discerning shopper
Audi is the king of four-wheel drive.
In the 1980s, the brand pioneered the use of fire-breathing Quattro coupes in Group B rally. It’s because of this motorsport titan that Audi went on to implement sophisticated all-wheel drive systems with truckloads of mechanical grip across its entire model range.
With this much power, it’s likely that you’ll also require it. Under the bonnet lies a ferocious Audi-Porsche-designed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. The Porsche Panamera, Audi RS 6, and RS 7 all used the top-performing V8. It sports a short inlet track, water-to-air intercoolers, and stacks of response.
It produces a massive 309 kilowatts/550 Newton metres of torque and sends it all through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic to all four wheels. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately 4.5 seconds, which will no doubt impress your mates.
Your significant other will undoubtedly be impressed by the size of the boot. You can’t ask for more.
The car pictured – 2013 Audi S6 Avant
This Audi S6 Avant was built in May 2013 and delivered new by Audi Japan via a Tokyo main dealer.
The configuration of the vehicle included the following optional extras: black Nappa leather interior trim with diamond stitching, heated and electric front seats with adjustable lumbar support, carbon interior inlays, four-zone climate control, rear heated seats, BOSE premium audio, Matrix LED headlights, a panoramic glass sunroof, and silver-finish 19-inch alloy wheels.
There are service stickers placed around the car that confirm it has had regular maintenance. Upon its arrival in Australia, we fitted new front brake rotors, new brake pads, and replaced its engine oil and filter. The car exhibits above-average condition, clearly having spent most of its life in a garage.
On the inside, you’ll find handy features such as rear sun blinds integrated into the doors and rear air vents. The boot is a massive 565 litres of boot space, or room for two large suitcases, two carry-ons, and a pair of backpacks. You will struggle to fill it!

The combination of the torquey twin-turbo V-8 with a longer wheelbase, less front weight bias, and less overall mass makes the new S6 more of a driver’s car than its predecessorJens Meiners, Car & Driver, May 9, 2012
