S6 PLUS, S6 PLUS Limosine E and S6 Plus Avant




This info is about a year old but you may not be aware of the Audi S6
Plus.  I read about it from my special Brazilian edition of Audi Magazine.
They feature this '97 with a 32v, 326 hp, 4.2 V8 engine.  They compare
this S6 Plus to a Ferrari 456 GT that has a 442 hp 5.5 V12 engine. It goes
0-100km, 0-62mph, in 5.2 sec., S6 Plus does it in 5.6 sec., and the S6
does it in 6.9 sec.  The S6 Plus' top speed is rev limited 250km, I think
that is 155 mph.  They all come with even better looking 6 spoke rims than
the S6 because they're flatfaced with a slight deep dish design in 17".
If that wasn't enough, they offer the S6 Plus in two higher models.  They
call them the S6 Plus Limosine E and S6 Plus Avant.  These two cars are
4.172cm lower with 255/40/17 ZR tires and are in my opinion the most 
beautiful Audis that I ever seen.  The magine featured three different
colors on three of these cars, Tornado Red, Electric Blue, and Silver.  I
think I like the Electic Blue the best.

Other countries, such as Germany, Brazil and Thailand, always get the
privilage of getting these best Audis, especially Germany and Brazil.
They sometimes get lower powered Audis as well.  I have Thailand brochures
with nonturbo 1.8 A4s and 2.4 V6 A6s.  The Brazilian magazine I have
features the new A6 with a 1.8T. That's pretty bad.  US models are middle
of the road Audis, not the highest powered Audis but definitely not 
the lowest either.
