Car Forum / Audi Cars / April 2004S6 Plus had V8?
Anyone around know anything about the Europe only S6 "Plus" that Audi built in 1995? The standard S6 was running a turb-5 but I heard that the Plus version had an early version of the 4.2 V8, I'm looking to confirm. > Anyone around know anything about the Europe only S6 "Plus" that Audi built in > 1995?

Look at the ETKA sheets at http://www.exist.ru/ Ronald > Anyone around know anything about the Europe only S6 "Plus" that Audi built in > 1995?

Actually, all models were available in Europe at the same time in 1996-97: S6 2.2 T - 230 hp S6 4.2 - 290 hp S6 plus 4.2 - 326 hp After the model change in -98 the 2.2T sadly died and the 4.2 V8 re-emerged as S6 4.2 - 300 hp and S6 plus 4.2 - 340 hp. >After the model change in -98 the 2.2T sadly died and the 4.2 V8 re-emerged >as S6 4.2 - 300 hp and S6 plus 4.2 - 340 hp. Interesting stuff. When the S6 emerged again in1998, I thought it was the first A6 range car with an 8, and I'd assumed that the A6 4.2 was the first non-S variant with an 8. Guess I was wrong! I wonder why they dumped the 2.2T, it had more power than the current 3.0 V6. > >After the model change in -98 the 2.2T sadly died and the 4.2 V8 re-emerged > >as S6 4.2 - 300 hp and S6 plus 4.2 - 340 hp.

U can still pick up a nice one in Germany - this one for example (looong link): http://www.mobile.de/SIDA7hdWkEW5zPsUJ.YvhwEOA-t-vaNexlCsAsK%F3P%F3R~BmSB10Lsear chPublicJ1083084991A1LsearchPublicCCarX-t-vctpLtt~BmPA1A1B20B50%81D-t-vMkMoRDSmT h_X_xrdsO~BSRA6D1900BS6D1997BS6Ls6%7C%FF%A5%7C%FF%A5%7C%FF%A5%7C%FF%A5%7C%FF%A5A 2A0D1996A0/cgi-bin/da.pl?bereich=pkw&id=11111111135263958&top=20& EUR 12900 / 16% VAT (umsatzteuer ausweisbar - 'refundable') should give an export price of EUR 11120 = around USD 13300. But technical regulations may restrict private import to US from what I understand? Anyway I've heard that the 4.2 isn't exactly 'bulletproof'. I'd go with a 2.2T.

Sorry. The car can be found on www.mobile.de though. >around USD 13300 God, at less than $14k I'd take it, and wouldn;t give a damn about reliability problems. > ... and it was available in Nogaro blue with Alcantara suede > inserts... and a 6-speed.....man, they get all the good stuff in > Europe... yes, but in the US you get your Audi's a lot cheaper than us Europeans ... the grass is always greener on the other side I guess :) -- Dave |
