Three words that express the very essence of Audi. Vorsprung durch Technik isn't a slogan. It's our way of seeing the world. It is the driving force behind our history of innovation that continues into the 21st century. Indeed, many technologies that Audi pioneered remain in our cars today. Some are milestones in Vorsprung durch Technik makes us who we are. To see more of its influence, just read on. the history of the motorcar. From our beginnings in 1899, to the Auto Union team's Grand Prix successes in the 1930s and our more recent wins at Le Mans, we have always been at the forefront of the motor industry. 5 The Audi A6 ­ luxury refined. We haven't made the fuel tank bigger, we've just made our engines more fuel efficient. On the Audi A6 2.0 TDIe, for instance, you'll get up to 107 more miles each time you fill up. And across the whole A6 diesel engine range, you'll get between 48 and 127 more miles. So one place you won't be going with all those extra miles is the petrol station. 6 7 Efficiency At Audi, doing less is something we're trying to do more of. We're working to use less fuel, release less CO2 and waste less energy. It's why we've incorporated a number of more efficient technologies into the Audi A6. Recuperation When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as it cannot be used. With a recuperation system, like the one in the Audi A6, the kinetic energy is converted into useful electrical energy. The way it works is simple. While the car is coasting or braking, the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the basic electrical system, which enables the alternator to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel saving of up to 3%. 8 TDI and FSI Inside the Audi A6 you'll find the same advanced fuel-injection technology that's driven us to win after win at Le Mans. With TDI and FSI, fuel is injected directly into the engine's chambers so that combustion is timed right down to the millisecond. As a result, waste is minimised and you get the most from every last drop of fuel. 9 Engines Petrol FSI direct-injection technology is a unique Audi innovation that was originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver more power and torque, as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine to `breathe' more easily. It results in reduced heat loss and increased output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower exhaust emissions. We've also developed TFSI, with either turbocharging or supercharging, which combines FSI technology with forced induction ­ giving cars an extra injection of power. Diesel All diesel engines from Audi are known as TDI ­ Turbo Direct Injection. This impressive technology was originally pioneered by Audi in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the past. Like its FSI petrol counterpart, the TDI diesel engine is designed for power and performance, with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. For instance, the new 2.0 TDIe engine emits just 139g/km of CO2, making it one of the cleanest engines in its class, and we've also refined our V6 engines to make them more efficient than ever before. 10 Transmission multitronic® Translating a driver's preferences and intentions into road performance, the multitronic® transmission system entertains no compromises ­ whether in terms of dynamism, convenience or economy. multitronic® automatic transmission is available on models without quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. A continuously variable transmission, multitronic® can transmit up to 400Nm of torque and permits an exceptionally wide range of gear ratios. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration and a high level of driving comfort. And thanks to its lightweight design and a number of advanced electronic control systems that monitor gradient, road conditions and the way the driver is using the accelerator pedal, multitronic® also plays an instrumental role in reducing fuel consumption. tiptronic® The 6-speed tiptronic® transmission system is a form of automatic transmission available on Audi models with quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. The technology converts high-torque engine power into both sporty performance and operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced weight and an optimised gearshift strategy. More spontaneous gear changes are a particular benefit, especially when down-shifting. Both in the `D' (Drive) and `S' (Sport) programme, the advanced electronics used in tiptronic® respond efficiently to every driver input, helping to prevent unwanted upshifts when cornering. 11 quattro® It's the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced over 25 years ago ­ a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics which make the A6 so thrilling to drive. It's called quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience that's both dynamic and safe. 12 In the A6, asymmetric dynamic torque distribution continuously distributes drive power between the front and rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient, which increases flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive. 13 Standard model equipment All A6 models have the following items of Standard equipment Wheels, tyres and suspension 17" x 8J `Structure' design alloy wheels with 225/50 R17 tyres Four-link front suspension Spare wheel ­ full-size alloy* Sports suspension, 20mm lower (2.0 TDIe models only) Audio and communication MMI Radio Plus, including ­ FM/AM radio ­ 10 speakers ­ Single CD player ­ DSP sound system ­ 2x SD memory card readers Safety and security Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control Audi backguard head restraints for front seats (adjustable) Brake light ­ third brake light in rear window Brake system: disc brakes at front and rear, ventilated at front Central locking with radio remote-control Driver and front passenger two-stage airbags with front passenger airbag deactivation Dynamic suspension system Electric child locks for rear doors and windows Electromechanical parking brake Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) traction control Exit lights and active reflectors on all doors Front fog-light ISOFIX child-seat mounting (front-left and outer-rear seats) LED rear lights Light and rain sensors including coming/ leaving home function Rear fog-light Servotronic steering ­ power steering with speed-dependent control Side airbags for driver and front passenger Sideguard head airbag system to protect front and outer rear passengers in a side collision Side-impact protection in all doors Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobiliser Warning triangle Seats 3-point seat belts for all seats with front belt-force limiters Split-folding rear seats Meridian cloth upholstery Interior equipment 12V power socket in luggage compartment (Avant models only) 12V power socket in rear centre console 4-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel (adjustable for reach and rake) Aluminium fascia and door trim inlays Ashtrays, illuminated, at the front of the centre console and in the rear doors 17" x 8J `Structure' design alloy wheels Dual-zone electronic climate control Split-folding rear seats Meridian cloth upholstery 14 *A6 Avant 2.0 TDIe has the Tyre Mobility System in lieu of the full-size spare wheel.

Model details and prices Le Mans Edition model equipment In addition to S line model equipment Audi is no stranger to victory at Le Mans ­ we've won the legendary 24-hour race 8 times in 10 years. Our greatest triumph came on 18 June 2006, when we became the first manufacturer ever to win Le Mans with a diesel car. The theory was simple but it made the technology extremely efficient: we injected exactly the right amount of fuel and air into the engine's combustion chambers, which resulted in less wastage and fewer pitstops. Now we've produced a range of very special `Le Mans' A6 models which use the same remarkably efficient TDI and FSI technology that has been integral to our recent Le Mans victories.
