Spy Shots: 2013 Audi S6 undresses in Germany

In addition to a hybrid version, Audi is giving its sleek new A6 the full S treatment. Our spy photographers recently snapped this completely undisguised prototype out testing in Germany, leading us to believe that the production car will likely debut in the not-too-distant future. Audi's usual S up-do is fully evident here, with the more aggressive front fascia, side sill extension and four exhaust tips out back all signaling a more sporting sedan.

The new S6 will likely ditch the current car's 5.2-liter V10 mill in favor of a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. Since the S6 will compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and BMW M5, expect power output to be somewhere in the 500- to 550-horsepower range.

A4, A6, A8.... They all looks the same... This is why I don't like Audi...

Not impressed with the newest generation Audi designs at all, and I used to love the previous generation A8/S8 ......

ditto...hit the snooze and wake me when the next gen shows up. Only like the A5 and R8. The sedans (A7 included) are just variations on the same boring design.

love it! elegant, svelte, and fast.

I'll be the odd man out. Although similar to previous generation, I think it still looks good. Sporty, yet still classy.

Not a S6, but probably the best pics Ive seen so far of this car.

Also, after seeing the A7 in person, I think that car is awesome. Very low and wide. Thought it would ride high like the 5-series GT.

I kind-of understand the complaints about Audi styling, but it's not like it doesn't happen elsewhere. The LS, ES, IS look like the same balloon with varying levels of inflation.

However, I am fully impressed with the interior of the A8L. By far the best executive seating package available this side of a Maybach.

Heh, no wonder. The S-line sports package is installed. No wonder why I saw an improvement in design :P

Anyways, I do wanna hear more comments regarding the rear end from reviewers, auto mags and others.

Apparently, it seems that, just like the A7, the rear end seems to be the most concerning aspect of the design (as well as the weakest).

Hence, why I wanna hear some feedback and responses about it.

P.S.
Oh and I hope they make a wagon version...........especially an RS6 wagon

A8 sucks and is ugly. I think this new A6 has been their best car design yet with this new direction.

I don't think the A6 looks bad, per se, but when you look at this:




...it's just no comparison IMO.

^I agree. When it comes to mid size German sedans, 5 series > a6. Not even close.

^ Agreed, the standard for premium mid-sized style is the 5 series. Yesterday I saw a new 5 in white that looked great, instead of that usual purplish-darkish-gray color that is so common.
