All-new A6 features a longer wheelbase for increased interior dimensions. Initially, two models are offered: the A6 3.2 quattro powered by a 244hp V6, and the A6 4.2 which is powered by a 311 hp version of the S4's 4.2-liter V8. New exterior styling features the new-look Audi grille. Notable interior features include the MMI system introduced on the A8 and a new steering wheel design.
The 2005 A8L will be available with a 450hp W-12 engine and 6-speed automatic. The front-end is updated to be more aggressive and signals a future styling direction for Audi vehicles.
