Vehicle Description
2007 Audi S6 Sedan
"The S6 certainly avoids the visual excess of some super powerful
sedans. There is also nothing intimidating about driving the S6.
The engine, which makes a strong, gutsy noise and should propel the
car to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, is docile when you want it to be; the
6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission works easily, whether
controlled by the steering wheel paddles or left to its own
devices." Car and Driver, 2006
For consignment, a 2007 Audi S6 sedan with a title verified 129,065
actual miles and a 5.2 liter V10 under the hood which has gone
through some recent high dollar maintenance and repair.
AudiWorld.com said in 2006 "The S6 in a non showy color could
easily be mistaken for just another A6 on the road. Our test S6 was
most definitely not a non showy color; red is a very good Audi
color and helps draw the S6 out of its shell."
Exterior
There's no hiding under a coat of Brilliant Red paint which, except
for the grille and b-pillar, covers every panel of this car
including the color keyed bumper covers which give the car a
rounded profile on a car with almost no right angles. It all blends
seamlessly in the back where flush, red tail lights hug the decklid
accented by a brushed aluminum trim piece. The black rear valance
and quad tips hint at the sportiness of the car you're following
and 19-inch wheels with 35 series tires are the shoes of supercars.
Up front, the bold eggcrate grille is surrounded by chrome and the
headlights are made flush with clear covers over projector beams,
while black lower intakes wrap the corners just as the spectacular
brushed aluminum side mirrors catch your eyes. Imperfections
include lots of chin scrapes, some body scratches, a few dings on
the textured rocker panel, scuff on the rear bumper cover, and
quite a bit of curb rash.
Interior
There's no denying Audi's attention to quality on their interiors
and it begins with well designed and taut door panels, dominated by
black with subtle trim and metals that are brushed rather than
chrome. The front black Napa leather buckets are super car worthy,
big and supportive and sportified by well designed segments.
There's some patina creasing on all and some wear on a rear lower,
one of the two defined seats on the bench that seats three in a
part of the cabin that provides plenty of head and leg room. An
appropriately fat and sporty steering wheel presents to the driver
with minimal thumb controls but paddle shifters within finger
reach. Teardrop shaped pods mirror each other in the cluster with
red lit digital readouts behind a smooth gray frame that flows
right and takes in a screen for navigation and the reverse camera.
Below, dual climate controls leading to the center console where
carbon fiber trim surrounds the shifter, showing a touch of patina
as can be expected, and fronting a series of buttons and central
control knob. An AM/FM/CD player is on board and low pile back
carpet covers the floor mirrored by the black headliner around the
overhead console and power sunroof. The large trunk is completely
lined and shows a touch of usage but otherwise clean.
Drivetrain
The engine bay has little room to spare as the Lamborghini derived
5.2 liter V10 pumping out 429 horsepower and putting it to all four
wheels via a 40/60 split using a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission
and 3.80 gears at each axle. Nothing less than power disc brakes
would do on such a car, and they're present on all four wheels as
well. Of note is the new timing chain and associated components
which were added in 2023.
Undercarriage
Belly pans dominate the surface area underneath where driver
quality conditions prevail, and a few underside air scoops built
in. There's surface rust and age discoloration on some metals but
overall, structurally sound as components use a center tunnel to
travel front to back, including the dual exhaust with original
mufflers on their way to chrome tips in back. Both front and rear
suspension are independent.
Drive-Ability
We take a seat in this high performance touring sedan and crank all
10 cans to life using the car's fuel injection, releasing a
pleasant exhaust note and an eager powerplant. Our test on a short
loop proves this car has plenty of power to propel it with vigor,
straight tracking on the 35-series tires, and excellent handling
for a big car, though this is no mere mortal. The navigation needs
updating and our consignor indicates an issue with the tire
pressure sensors. Beyond these things however, all functions work
as intended and like a red streak, the ride is over! While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
In 2007, this car would have set you back about 75 large. That's
$114,000 in today's money. And although almost 20 years old, this
car's design looks fresh and relevant and not that manufacturers
are leaning more towards turbo 4 cylinders, having a V10 is just as
exotic now as it was in 2007, maybe more so! Audi has created some
high performance vehicles and some flagships; this car puts both
attributes together and wraps it up with a big, red ribbon.
