About the 2011 Audi S6
C6 generation (U.S. 2007-2011), final U.S. year before the redesigned 2013 S6.
Audi frames the S6 as a fast executive sedan that blends serious power with understated luxury. The headline is the 435-hp V10 and quattro traction, but the model is not a stripped sport sedan; Audi also emphasizes a comfortable, richly trimmed cabin, supportive sport seats, and everyday usability. Compared with flashier rivals, the S6 leans toward subtle styling, all-weather confidence, and long-distance comfort with a very large engine under the hood.
Audi sells the 2011 S6 as one well-equipped Prestige sedan that blends discreet styling with a 435-hp V10, a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive. Its cabin features Silk Nappa leather sport seats, heated front and rear seats, navigation, Bose surround sound, and a rearview camera with parking sensors.
