The New 2018 Audi A6 and S6: Spy Photos, Specs & Prices

The new 2018 Audi A6 range will follow quickly on from this year’s new A8 range-topper – following its distinctive new style, tech and direction.

The new 2018 Audi S6: caught at the Nurburgring

The new S6 retains its place at the top of the A6 range – at least until the full-fat RS6 arrives, that is.

Powering the exec rocketship is the group’s 2.9-litre V6 as seen in the latest Porsche Panamera 4S. It’ll drive all four wheels through the brand’s customary Quattro drivetrain to keep upwards of 420bhp on the road.

When can I buy the new 2018 Audi A6?

We hear the newcomer will land later in 2018, ahead of a showroom launch pencilled in for that autumn.

Expect the style of a four-door coupe, with the latest Audi family light trickery, pronounced styling lines and wheels of up to 20 inches in diameter for extra grip, bigger brakes and additional posing power.

Inside the cabin, expect to see many of the features coming in the new 2017 A8 range-topper, such as haptic touchscreens and suchlike.
