Have you ever wondered why Audi have chosen the letter "S" to prefix
the names of their high performance vehicle models? Many believe that
the "S" stands for "Sport", which is definitely true, as it suggests
the sporty, aggressive and powerful nature of Audi S models. The use of
the letter, however, originated in the rally scene, when in 1985, Audi
introduced to the motor sport world the Audi Sport Quattro S1. This
simply shows that the Audi S models were really made to perform like
true sports cars.
Audi had used the "S" model classification to denote a high
performance car way back in 1992 with the Audi S4. But it was only in
1995 when the "S" badge was used for a high performance version of
another vehicle. This was with the Audi S6, a high performance version
of the already capable Audi A6. Actually, the Audi S6 was similar to
the Audi S4 that it preceded. It was only renamed as such to clearly
indicate its relation with the Audi A6.
The first generation of the Audi S6 was sold for only a year
in the US, but the name of the said model was revived for the 2002
model year. Based on the Audi A6 4.2 Quattro, the 2002 Audi S6 carried
with it the authoritative performance and amazing handling capabilities
of the regular Audi A6 models. The S6, however, was designed to provide
more than what the regular Audi A6 models can.
Equipped with high performance and powerful Audi S6 parts, the
Audi S6 can definitely outclass the performance of the Audi A6. For
one, the Audi S6 is equipped with a powerful 4.2-liter V8 engine that
develops 340 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The powerful performance of
the said engine is further complemented by either of its two
transmission options (a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual
transmission) and its sporty aluminum suspension. With all these parts
and more, the Audi S6 would definitely give you more than just an
impressive ride.
