Audi?s ?S?奥迪?收盘?收盘? series of cars occupy a narrow but well-defined niche.系列轿车占据一个狭窄而明确界定的利基. Not quite as focused as BMW M cars nor as powerful as the heaviest hitting AMG Mercedes models, they nevertheless offer serious performance with impeccable build quality.作为重点内容不太宝马轿车米也不强大如重击磁悬浮奔驰型号不过他们的表现给予严肃与建设质量无可挑剔. If you feel the need to ramp the intensity levels up a notch or two higher, Audi also offer the premium sports RS models but for most A6 executive saloon and estate buyers, the ?S?如果你觉得有需要的强度匝道出一码或两层次较高、奥迪也提供保费体育遥感房长官A6轿车模型但大部分买家和地产的?收盘? treatment was quite sufficient.待遇相当充足. The 340bhp S6 we look at here was created in late 1999 and was justly popular.六看看我们这里的340bhp创立于1999年底,被公正受欢迎. As a result, there?s no shortage of choice for used buyers.由于近期的?收盘不乏买主选择使用.
HISTORY历史
The inkling that a sporty Audi A6 may be on the way was betrayed by the introduction of the 295bhp A6 4.2-litre quattro models in February 1999.奥迪A6,潇洒的端倪就可以被出卖的方式引进的295bhpA6轿车4.2-1999年2公升慑人型号. With a longer bonnet than the rest of the A6 range to house a monster V8 engine, the A6 4.2 was quick but designed to cater to an executive audience with a whole host of luxury fitments and comparatively soft suspension.头盖休息一段较长的A6轿车比射程可容纳怪兽V8发动机、四月二日的A6轿车,但为了迎合迅速执行觐见了一大堆豪华设备和较软停牌. Some wondered what the car?s raison d?etre was given that it wasn?t significantly quicker but markedly thirstier than the 2.7T model that Audi already offered.有些什么车?四收盘存在?理由是因为它.其余?但笔着较快较明显thirstier奥迪2.7t模式已经开办. The S6 answered many of these questions but wasn?t unveiled until late 1999, the first cars starting to appear in UK dealers at the turn of the year.六回答这些问题,而是许多.其余?笔亮相直至1999年底,第一汽车经销商开始出现在英国年度交替. With 340bhp on tap, it wasn?t the BMW M5 basher that many had hoped for, Audi instead concentrating on a firmer ride, a more aggressive look and feel and a few tenths knocked off the benchmark sprints.关于塔与340bhp,它.其余?宝马M5中的许多笔格吉拉希望的,奥迪反而更加坚定地专注于玩耍一个更大胆的外观和少数几个打掉基准短跑. Available in saloon and Avant estate, it was nevertheless very popular.在房地产、前言可用,不过它很受欢迎.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Visual clues to the S6's identity are few.六视觉线索的身份却很少. There are tiny boot badges, an S6-badged Audi Sport front radiator grille, brushed aluminium door mirror casings, 17-inch Avus six-spoke alloy wheels and twin stainless steel exhaust pipes.还有极靴徽章、六-奥迪badged体育战线散热器格栅、铝门镜外壳用毛笔、17英寸avus六言孪生不锈钢合金车轮和排气管. In other words, the neighbours need never know.换句话说,要永远不知道邻居. The interior looks and feels the part.内政部看上去觉得部分. The Recaro sports seats are trimmed in a combination of Alcantara (a kind of suede) and soft leather, while the dash and doors get carbon fibre inserts (or traditional wood if you prefer).recaro运动的座位在修剪结合阿尔坎塔拉(一种绒)及软皮革、而短跑、碳纤维门得到刀片(或如果你喜欢传统的木材). As you'd expect for the money, equipment is pretty comprehensive (climate control, six airbags, cruise control, electric everything etc, etc), though for those with more to spend, there were still plenty of options, including a colour TV built into the dashboard.你逊色的钱,设备是相当全面(气候控制、六气袋,巡航控制,电动一切等等),尽管这些花费较多,还有很多选择包括彩色电视建成仪表. Specification improvements introduced towards the end of the car?s life included the addition of Xenon Plus headlamps, an air quality sensor and a ?Symphony II?规格改进汽车年底推出?收盘生命包括设加氙大灯、一个传感器和空气质量?第二交响曲? radio with front dash-mounted CD autochanger and cassette.无线电与前面冲刺式影音autochanger、录音机.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Although Audi have a reputation for delivering cast iron residual values, there can be no escaping from the fact that big, powerful and thirsty cars almost always tend to take quite a bashing when the time comes to sell them on.虽然奥迪有信誉交付铸铁残余价值不能脱离事实大强大、口渴车几乎总是倾向于采取相当扑届时出售. The S6 models are no exception.六型号也不例外. An S6 saloon that would have set you back £52,250 in early 2000 will now sell for £18,000 with the Avant versions attracting a premium of around £500.六载你回房,便在2000年初52250英镑现在卖为18000英镑的尴版本吸引了500英镑左右的保费. These residuals weren?t helped by Audi?s decision to lop £5,000 off the S6?s retail price in order to make it look a little more competitive in the face of not only a horde of more powerful rivals but also the more powerful RS6.这些残值统计学?奥迪笔帮助?决定为5000英镑下垂对开六?收盘零售价格,使其更具竞争力看来有点不只是在面对更强大的对手种群也更强大80%.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Not too much, really.不太多,真的. There have been some tales of niggling unreliability but nothing too serious so far.有一些故事,但没有太严重繁琐可靠为止. The quattro system is reliable and well proven but it?s best not to allow a local spannerman to fiddle with it.慑人系统是可靠的,但它也证明?收盘最好不要让本地spannerman来拨弄.
The complexity of the car should be enough to ensure you insist on an S6 with a cast-iron service history and, at this stage, Audi dealers are still likely to have the best examples.复杂的汽车应足以确保你坚持以六铸铁服务历史,在这一阶段,奥迪经销商仍可能有最好的例子. The premium they charge may be well worth your peace of mind.他们收取的保费可能非常值得你安心.
Interiors are hard wearing and well designed, much like the rest of the car.服装设计及室内设计难,很像其余的轿车. As for corrosion, with an Audi you're pretty safe and there's a lengthy anti-perforation warranty to reassure you (ensure any conditions have not been breached by previous owners).至于腐蚀奥迪你一个安全而有漂亮的长防穿孔保修向你(确保没有违反任何条件按以前业主).
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(based on a 2000 4.2 S6 quattro Saloon - ex Vat) A clutch assembly is around £265.(根据2000年4月2日六慑人球馆-恩增值税)离合器装配约265英镑. Front and rear brake pads should be about £85 a set.前后刹车皮应约英镑1985年一套. A radiator is about £195, an alternator about £275 and a starter motor £195.暖气大约195英镑,约发电机、起动马达275英镑195英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
For those unimpressed by the ?mere?至于什么了不起的?仅仅? 340bhp on tap in the S6, consider this.340bhp就在塔六、考虑. There's not much point in having huge reserves of power if every time the heavens open, you spin it away on the wet tarmac.有没有什么意义,如果有庞大储备电力每次老天爷开放你走在潮湿的自旋停机坪. Yes of course, the BMW M5, the Jaguar S TYPE R and the Mercedes E55 AMG all have sophisticated traction control and dynamic stability systems but it's not the same as having all wheels driven.当然不错,宝马M5中,美洲虎S型R和E55号公路旁的宾士都有精密磁悬浮牵引控制系统和动态稳定但不等于就有所有驱动车轮. The familiar quattro four-wheel drive system in the S6 means that this car will beat its German rivals to any given cross-country destination in anything other than bone-dry conditions.熟悉慑人四轮驱动系统的汽车,这将意味着六击败德国对手以任何特定的越野目的地以外的任何骨干条件.
And even then, it won't be far behind.即使如此,也不会很远. Sixty is just 5.7s away from rest on the way to an artificially-limited top speed of some 155mph.第六十五只是5.7s远离途中休息一人为限最高时速约155mph. Which ought to be fast enough for most.这应该是对大多数够快. And even if it isn't, there are other compensations.而即使不是,还有其他补偿. Like the fact that the S6 is less expensive than many of its rivals.喜欢到六比目前许多竞争对手.
OVERALL 总体
The Audi S6 is in many ways the forgotten car in the executive express class.六是多方面的奥迪轿车被遗忘在执行快班. The BMW M5 is the car for the serious driver and the Mercedes E55 the default choice for the autobahn wafter but the Audi strikes a good value and well built compromise between the two.M5中的宝马车是为严肃的司机和奔驰E55号公路旁的高速公路wafter选择违约而奥迪也取得了良好的价值和建立在两者之间. Despite the fact that it?s been superseded by a newer shape car, the S6 still looks a class act.尽管它?被取代形成一个新颖的汽车,仍显得每班六法案.
