The supercharged A6, on the other hand, I believe, is secretly designed so parents who do not want to give up their fun fast toys can still have a joyful grocery-getter family sedan. With 135 hp less power and 88 lbs-ft less torque than its brother, this A6, which is about 370 pound lighter, can still reach a well respected rate of acceleration. 0-60 mph is accomplished in 5.9 seconds; only less than a second slower than its big brother.
The athletic performance of this A6 is brought by the combination of Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) and Roots-style supercharger. The supercharger is mounted between cylinder banks. Two water-to-air intercoolers are utilized to chill the air before it enters the supercharger. This supercharger is equipped with free-running blades which coast under low engine loads when supercharging is unnecessary.
FSI technology increases the torque and power, makes the engine 15% more economical, and reduces exhaust emission. The above gains are achieved by injecting fuel directly to the combustion chamber at pressure of between 30 and 110 bar. The significant cooling effect of this injection process improves cylinder charging and enables the engine to run at considerably higher compression ratio than the non FSI engine.
At 2500 rpm, the potent technologies combination above produces the maximum torque of 310 lbs-ft. And, this flat torque band spans up to 5100 rpm. Despite the relatively close 0-60 mph acceleration number to its big brother’s, this 3.0T A6 can do 26 mpg on highway.
In the aesthetic department, 2010 A6 features the integrated daylight driving LED’s and the LED taillights. The newly designed widened taillights of 2010 A6 make the car look smaller than it really is. Combined with its assertive stance, sweeping lines, and single frame grill, this A6 radiates agility and prowess.
While S6 always begs to be unleashed every time it is taken for a drive, even when it is driven to a local grocery store, the supercharged A6, on the other hand, doesn’t feel beasty. However, if you desire some excitement, the supercharged A6 will still give you just enough lasting smile. And, the checkout counter teenager at your local grocery store will be wondering why you are so high on life.
