The Audi S6 is a performance version of the Audi A6. The S6 was first introduced in 1994 as a high-performance version of the original Audi A4, which had been released in 1991. The second generation of the S6 was introduced in 2002, followed by the third generation in 2007. The fourth generation was introduced in 2013 and replaced by the fifth generation in 2017.
The S6 can be identified by its sporty appearance and sport-tuned suspension system. It has larger wheels than other models in the A6 range and has more aggressive suspension settings than other models.

This gives it a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time between 5 seconds and 5.5 seconds depending on variant (0-100 km/h).
