LEAKED: ALL-NEW AUDI A6!

Autoblog.nl have in their possession, and now you have in yours, leaked pictures of the all-new Audi A6. Audi is launching the new A6 in Europe early next year, followed by other markets, including South Africa. Mind you, this is not a facelift but a brand new car. Look at the pictures and tell me if Audi has applied its best foot in designing it.

The new A8 has also come under heavy fire for its lack of design imagination on the exterior. Rightly so too. When I drove the car I thought it was one of the class-leaders and the interior is quite awesome. But hell, to get a potential customer to experience what I did you’d have to cover it up or blindfold them until they are inside. I’ve been worried that when it came to A6 time, Audi would stick to its boring new ways which began with the current A4. Sadly my fears have come to fruition.

Expect engines to include the highly acclaimed 3.0-litre TDI worth 184kW and 550Nm. Also expect the 2.0T to make 155kW and 3.0-litre supercharged petrol to produce over 230kW. Yes, there will be an RS 6, hopefully sooner rather than later. It should hit over 450kW using either a supercharged or a twin turbo V8 displacing less than 5.0-litre V10.
