The Audi S6 is the high performance variant of the Audi A6, an executive car produced by German automaker Audi.〔AudiWorld.com (North American S6 Model Guide ) - historical S6 specifications, prices, and options〕 It went on sale in 1994, shortly after the "A6" designation was introduced, replacing the "100" nameplate. The original S6 (''Ur-S6'') was largely the same car as the outgoing, original Audi S4 (C4) (''Ur-S4''), with the only visible differences being new body-cladding and badging. In certain markets where the even-higher performance RS6 which is also based on the A6 is not sold, the S6 is the most powerful A6 trim there. The S6, like all Audi "S" models, is fitted as standard with Audi's trademark quattro four-wheel drive (4WD) system, the S6 using the Torsen-based permanent 4WD. ==C4 (''Typ'' 4A, 1994–1997)== Audi was restructuring their model lineup in early and mid-1990s, and in late 1994, began selling the fifth generation (C4) Audi 100 model, re-badged as the Audi A6. Wanting to keep a sports-saloon in their lineup, the company made small revisions to what was previously known as the Audi S4, renaming it the Audi S6; the S4 name would eventually be re-used for a completely different model derived from Audi's smaller Volkswagen Group B platform-based Audi A4. As this was the first S6 model from Audi, it is commonly referred to as the ''Ur-S6'', derived from the German augmentive, "Ursprünglich" (meaning: original). It was available as both a saloon/sedan (''typ'' 4A5), and an "Avant" (''typ'' 4A9) (estate/wagon) to European and United States customers, but only as a saloon in Canada, Asia and Australia. Audi's trademark "procon-ten" safety system was standard fitment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Audi S6」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
