Overview

IN WHAT is arguably the biggest year in the history of new Audi Sport product, the German brand’s performance arm has brought its two latest offerings to Australian showrooms, in the form of the S6 sedan and S7 liftback sedan.

The mechanically related pair touch down roughly six months after the ‘regular’ new-generation ranges, and will serve as the performance flagships before the arrival of the fire-breathing RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback later in the year.

With the RS grades waiting around the corner, what sort of indication do the S6 and S7 give of the performance potential of Audi’s new large car?
