the lastest autocar has the scoop on the new s6, along with photos taken during
high speed testing. expected for the 99 model year.
engine. v8, 4.2l with 350hp (30 more than the s8).
gearbox: 6-speed
interesting, it is being developed on a *modified* a6 quattro platform with a
longer wheel base, wider track and a (slightly) different body. the car has
*major* wheel archs designed around the 18" wheels. same black avuus wheels as
the s4 but without the s4's front chin spoilers.
designed to compete with the new for '99 m5 and amg e-series both of which will
be v8 powered.
performance will be mid 5's for the 0-60 sprint.
no mention of distribution plans (usa, rhd).
