Default Odd problem.....head gasket maybe???

Just needed my A6 towed. It is odd...it was idling for about 1h in the parking lot. When I started to drive it it after 50 feet it started to smoke white out of both exhaust pipes. Then started shaking and stalled. The white smoke DONT have the sweet smell from coolant. The coolant level is at normal. It doesnt bubble in the reservoir when i start the car up again. There is no water in the oil and the oil level is normal. The engine did not overheat and there are no leaks. No error codes. Any further tries to star the car ended the same. starts fine...idles fine...then in seconds white smoke starts and starts running rough and then stalls.....any ideas??? i am lost.....
