More momentum is generated when a heavier body of mass accelerates than the momentum generated by a lighter body of mass accelerating at the same rate. More momentum means more effort required to change the direction of motion. Given S6 blistering acceleration rate, 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and its total curb weight of about 4500 pounds, engineers at Ingolstadt equipped S6 with special treatments in the similar manner ‘Q’ upgraded the 007 car.
To shave off speed at equally fast rate, S6 is equipped with oversized 15.2-inch ventilated rotors up front and 13-inch ventilated rotors in the back. The transfer of energy during acceleration, braking, and turning is optimized by installing sticky 265/35 R19 Z-rated wide rubbers on the flared corners. The chassis features lightweight aluminum construction and the targeted use of sheet steel to create a balance between rigidity and weight saving, hence reducing the unsprung mass.
To provide precise handling and steering, the refined four-link front suspension and the self-tracking trapezoidal-link rear suspension are designed and constructed to provide an extremely sporty kinematic behavior with superior directional stability and steering precision. Furthermore, Audi drive select systems offer three settings; automatic, comfort, and dynamic. This feature allows the driver to select the proper driving dynamic for different kinds of driving.
All of the above are required to optimize the use of volcanic power of the Lamborghini V10. It is slightly detuned than the Lamborghini version but it provides a wider power band which is suitable for a daily driver. Asymmetric Quattro system sends that power to all four wheels with 40/60 front/rear torque split distribution via a six-speed Tiptronic transmission. With all treatments above and then some, S6 has a commendable nimble and precise driving dynamic that exceeds even its lighter competitors.
