2007 Audi S6 Review

Fourtitude.com has a review of the 2007 Audi S6. Be Sure to check it out.

The S6 name and the lineage it represents is hallowed ground for brand loyalists. Audi launched the S-car range with this S6’s great granddaddy - the Ur S-car, four generations back and roughly 15 years ago. Enthusiast owners of that car and the generations that followed are a fiercely loyal bunch, attracted by the utility of Audi’s mid-sized performance sedan and also to the forced induction and ease of tuning of a turbocharged engine. Today’s S6 enters the market sans turbochargers, and for the first time with no station wagon variant available for North America.

In its favor is arguably one of the best C-chassis designs in the history of Audi, and a V10 developed from that of a Lamborghini Gallardo… street cred indeed. But, will this be enough to win over those who’ve owned the vaunted Ur S-cars, while at the same time woo over cross-shoppers from Mercedes and BMW or tantalize the bandwagon buyers who just want to own the next “it" car? To answer that question, we headed to Montreal, Quebec to sample the new S6 first hand.
