After a short stop at a farmer’s market, it was my turn again to drive the S6. Cruising steadily on Highway 1, I had a bittersweet feeling about S6. It was the same feeling I had a long time ago when I said good bye to a friend. We knew at that time that we would not see each other again. We both felt happy for the chance of meeting each other and sad for the fact our journey together had ended.

In today’s world, when our awareness on earth ecosystem’s health is at all time high, the days of car manufacturers producing relatively high-volume production 5.2 V10 family cars, such as this S6, are numbered. Demand for this kind of cars will drop significantly as people participate more in the global effort to reduce energy consumption and dependency on fossil fuel. And this makes S6 an endangered species.

No doubt the car companies will still produce them, but only in limited volume, and this make them unaffordable to many of us. Instead, they will produce hybrid, electric, natural gas, or even hydrogen cars that can match the performance of the current S6. However, this current V10 has many addictive attributes that smaller or alternative engines will not have; the unique sonorous sound, the distinct burble, the ample torque at low RPM, the fast action revving, and a few more things that cannot be described in words but we feel them. Due to these addictive attributes, the V10 S6 will always be a distinct, memorable, very fast and agile family car in the history of automobile. Collect one if your heart desires before it becomes extinct.
