It looks like the S6 will be a twin turbo and perhaps the optional V6 ( for the A6) may have one turbocharger? My guess it will likely be a twin scroll or variable vane turbo if only one unit. Either way the torque curve should be significantly broader.

2018 Audi A6/A7: 25 Cars Worth Waiting For ? Feature ? Car and Driver

I have an A6 2.0T and a BMW 135i with the N55 3.0L turbo 6 cyl and manual transmission, and I'm completely in love with these modern turbocharged engines. The Audi does have a bit of turbo lag, but the BMW with its twinpower turbo has none. They both produce max torque from 1500 rpm so no matter what gear you are in, you just put your foot down and ride the wall of torque. This is much more useful for everyday driving, because with other engines where the torque and hp build to a peak at high rpm, you have to downshift to get to the high rpm range which wastes time and it isn't really practical to drive around at 5000+ rpm for prolonged periods of time. So you end up not making use of the full torque and hp of the engine.

It will be interesting to see what the new Audi V6 turbo is like when stacked up against the S/C engine (which for my purposes has more than sufficient low end grunt) and the Nissan/Infiniti 3.0 litre twin turbo which as I mentioned above has no discernable turbo lag.


Best,

Update - I'm going to buy the a6 the first week of may and will post pictures of it on here.

I thank everyone for all their help

How much can I negotiate this deal down to? $18,997 for 60K miles, 2013 and 2 car owner accident free. It is a 2.0 not 3.0 as well

To start, check KBB value and try to get deal down $1500. Its really hard to say given your vague description.

Don't know if I got a good deal, but I've been very happy with my purchase.

2012 A6 3.0T, 65k ODO, Prestige Phantom black/black, full tint on windows from an Audi dealership
very clean, meticulous maintenance records, no accidents, 1 owner
Orig ask $23995. Got it for $21500.

I wanted white/black but settled for black - can't be choosy with a used car. At least it had aluminum trim, I didn't care for the wood trim. Also wanted the sport package but figured I can make that up with aftermarket parts later...with 19 inch wheels and change suspension.
