2020 Audi S6 gives the sedan a dash of sport

A little more torque never hurts.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The S6 is also available in an Avant wagon trim, if you really want to be the coolest guy on the block.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the new S6 and S7 is the introduction of a diesel engine in Europe.

The other side of the pond will have access to a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V6 that puts out 349 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

It's not just a regular diesel engine, either -- it comes mated to an electric turbocharger and a 48-volt mild hybrid system.

The mild hybrid system allows the car's stop-start system to kick in around 14 miles per hour, further saving fuel.

The electric turbocharger, on the other hand, helps out the traditional exhaust-driven turbocharger by spinning up quickly to eliminate turbo lag and improve responsiveness.

As with previous S6 models, this new one looks fairly sportier than the more pedestrian A6.
