  • New Audis: S6, S7 and S8

    Audi has introduced the new 2012 S6 and S6 Avant models ahead of their public debut at the Frankfurt motor show in two weeks.

    Powered by a twin-turbo 4.0 liter TFSI V8 the S6/S6 Avant comes with 420 PS (309 kW / 414 bhp) and 550 Nm (405.66 lb-ft) of constant torque between 1,400 and 5,300 rpm coupled to a 7-speed S-tronic transmission. The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint comes in at 4.8 seconds while top speed is an electronically-governed 250 km/h (155 mph).

    Average fuel economy on the (quattro) all-wheel drive S6 is 9.7 liters/100 km while just slightly more for the S6 Avant - 9.8 liters/100 km. That consumption figure is achieved through the use of energy recuperation, a stop-start system as well as a cylinder management system that shuts down four of the cylinders under partial load.

    The chassis gets an air suspension with variable damping up to 10 mm while 19-inch wheels are standard with options on a range of 19- and 20-inch rim/tire combinations.

    The interior comes with a leather sport steering wheel and paddle shifters in brushed aluminum. A finish in Pearl Nappa leather and Alcantara comes standard with finer leathers available as options.

    The S7 Sportback has arrived.

    Sharing most of its DNA with its S6 sibling, the 2012 Audi S7 Sportback comes with the same power plant - the 4.0 TFSI twin-turbo V8.

    As in the S6, the unit is good for exactly 420 PS (309 kW / 414 bhp) and 550 Nm (405.66 lb-ft) of torque while the S7's configuration features the same cylinder deactivation technology, stop-start system and energy recuperation as in S6. The gearbox is also the 7-speed S-tronic transmission. On the (quattro) all-wheel drive S7, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 4.9 seconds.

    The commonality with the S6 continues with the air suspension and the 19-inch wheels upon which the S7 rides.

    The interior features S badging and a red ring around the start-stop button as well as the S7 logo on the illuminated door sills. Footrest and pedals are of stainless-steel while decorative trimming is offered in aluminum, carbon and various fine-grain woods.

      The flagship has launched.

      The Audi S8 is here ahead of its public debut at the Frankfurt motor show in two weeks and it is sporting some healthy figures.

      The S8 is powered by a 4.0 liter TFSI twin-turbo V8 configured to deliver 520 PS (382 kW / 513 bhp) and 650 Nm of torque (479.42 lb-ft). Transmission is the 8-speed Tiptronic - engine and gearbox together allow the S8 to do the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 4.2 seconds. Top speed on the (Quattro) all-wheel drive S8 is electronically-limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

      Audi also adapts its "cylinder on demand" cylinder deactivation technology to the S8 which helps it reach a fuel-economy figure of 10.2 liters/100 km.

      The S8 also features an adaptive air suspension with variable damping. Standard wheels are the 9J x 20-inch rims with 265/40R20 tires while four 21-inch wheel offerings are available as an option.

      On the inside, the flagship range-topper gets multi-way, powered comfort sports seats designed specifically for the S8 while a variety of lush finishes are available.

      New tech on the S8 is the 360 degree parking system with four cameras getting an around-the-car view while a computer splices the images together for the driver to see on the display screen.

              Yea, love the S6 Avant. I bet the S7 looks a lot better in person too.

              I think 21" wheels would be a bad idea as I think tires would be insanely hard to find.

                            I don't think the 4.0T will see the S5, they seem to be going with the 3.0T for both versions now, but this turbo V8 should see some work in new RS cars and will also be in a Bentley or two.
