Audi S6 C7 (4th Generation)

20132018 · C7 · sedan

4.0T biturbo V8 (CEUA / CTGE) — 420 hp / 406 lb-ft. 7-speed S tronic DSG. Quattro AWD. Sedan only in the US. The C7 S6 is widely considered the best-balanced of the modern S6 lineup — bandwidth from luxury cruiser to fast sedan without the V10 maintenance burden.

Watch out: 4.0T timing chain stretch on early cars; PCV valve diaphragm tear; cylinder-on-demand (COD) lifter wear on the deactivated cylinders. Carbon buildup on direct-injection intake valves around 60-80k. DSG fluid service is non-optional.
