A slightly more practical A6 from Audi to rival the Mercedes-Benz CLS. A 5-door hatchback (liftback), available with 2.8- (204PS) and 3.0-litre (300PS) six-cylinder petrol engines (the latter being supercharged) and a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine in three states of tune (204PS, 245PS and 315PS), with the most powerful engine having two turbochargers for extra oomph.
A high-performance variant - the S7 - is equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged eight-cylinder petrol engine; the same engine in fact, as the second generation Bentley Continental GT.
