An extensive lineup of suspension technologies with the top-of-the-line innovation dynamic all-wheel steering makes the Audi A6 more agile and sportier than ever – while also enhancing comfort. Powerful, efficient engines deliver impressive performance. Suspension Even the predecessor model ranked among the sportiest cars in the business class. The new A6 Sedan is noticeably even more agile, while comfort and handling stability have been improved further. The new Audi A6 comes standard with the progressive steering. With a generally sporty steering ratio, it becomes increasingly direct with increasing steering angle. Its electromechanical power assistance transfers useful information to the driver, yet eliminates unpleasant jolts. This provides a direct connection between steering wheel, wheels and road. The optional dynamic all-wheel steering in the Audi A6 is unrivaled among the competition. It resolves the conflict of objectives between spontaneous steering response and superb handling stability. The system combines dynamic steering at the front axle, which uses an infinitely variable strain wave gearing, with a separate rear axle steering system with a spindle drive and track rods. As such, the steering angle at the front and rear axle can be adjusted independently of each other. At speeds up to 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the rear wheels are turned as much as five degrees in the opposite direction in relation to the front wheels. This reduces the turning circle by up to one meter (3.3 ft) to 11.1 meters (36.4 ft), virtually on a par with the A3. As such, the approximately five-meter long (16.4 ft) Sedan is much more agile in urban traffic, on tight hairpin bends and while parking. At medium and high speeds, the wheels are turned by as many as two degrees in the same direction. Consequently the new Audi A6 is even more stable on the road and also performs abrupt evasive maneuvers with composure.

Suspension technology for enhanced maneuverability and agility Maneuverable in town, sporty on country roads, and poised and comfortable on the highway – the new Audi A6 handles even more dynamically than its predecessor model. The reason is the different suspension components – from the centralized control of all systems via control strategies, newly developed axles through to new features such as optional dynamic all-wheel steering. The standard progressive steering generally has a direct ratio, with the increasing steering angle it operates even more sportily. Its electromechanical power assistance transfers useful information to the driver, yet eliminates unpleasant jolts. This provides a direct connection between steering wheel, wheels and road. As an option, Audi delivers the new A6 with the dynamic all-wheel steering. With this setup, the A6 handles more compactly than a midsize model and with greater maneuverability than any other model in the segment, despite its exterior length of almost five meters (16.4 ft). The combination of a superimposed steering and a rear-axle steering thus resolves the classic conflict of objectives in the field of suspension. It combines direct steering response with unshakable stability. Depending on the speed, the overall ratio varies between 9.5:1 and 16.5:1. In the front-axle steering, a strain wave gearing operates; at the rear axle a spindle drive turns the wheels up to 5 degrees – unrivaled in the segment. At speeds up to 60 km/h (37.3 mph) they turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, thus reducing the turning circle by up to one meter (3.3 ft). At high speeds from 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the wheels turn in the same direction, thus increasing stability when traveling in a straight line or changing lanes. And in turn improving handling safety. At the same time, passengers enjoy enhanced comfort as steering movements when changing lanes are felt much less in the rear in particular.

In dynamic mode, the ride height is lowered by another 10 millimeters (0.39 in) for a sporty driving feel. To reduce drag, the body is lowered to the low level at higher speeds in balanced and efficiency modes. In contrast, the lift function raises the A6 Avant by 20 millimeters (0.79 in) above the normal level and can now be used up to a speed of 85 km/h (53 mph). This function ensures safety and forward momentum even in challenging driving conditions, such as on snowy or uneven roads. The dynamic handling system Audi drive select is used to adjust the vehicle’s ride height and to control the steering and drivetrain settings. The spread between the driving modes has been increased: handling in dynamic mode is noticeably tighter and sportier, while comfort mode is designed for smooth, comfortable driving on long journeys. And thanks to the Audi assistant, the adaptive air suspension can now be operated by voice control for the first time in the A6, with simple commands like “raise the vehicle” or “lower the air suspension.” All tires for the A6 Avant have been specifically tuned and optimized in terms of rolling resistance. In 20-inch and 21-inch sizes, performance tires are available as an option, offering impressively dynamic handling and even shorter braking distances.

Both vehicles boast outstanding driving dynamics thanks to an optimized, self-locking center differential while guaranteeing an equally impressive suitability for everyday use. The exterior of the RS Q8 and RS Q8 performance take their cues from the recently upgraded Q8. New equipment packages allow more freedom for customization. The new Audi RS Q8 and RS Q8 performance will be launched in June of this year. Prices start at 141,900 and 155,700 euros. Unmistakably an Audi Sport GmbH model: The exterior With the new Audi RS Q8 and RS Q8 performance, Audi Sport GmbH is intensifying its focus on the dynamics of the two high-performance SUVs. A new front apron with striking air intakes, a distinctive honeycomb structure, and a blade in high-gloss black (the RS Q8 performance features matte gray) clearly identifies the RS Q8 and the performance version as the top models in the series.
