Audi A6 allroad quattro
Now, Audi has just unveiled a new generation of the Audi Allroad, called the 2013 Audi A6 Allroad. Based on the C7 generation A6, the new 2013 Audi A6 Allroad continues with its original recipe.
Power can come from a variety of V6s: one TFSI gasoline engine and three TDI turbocharged oilburners. The gas engine is the same 3.0L TFSI supercharged V6 that found its way to be the base engine in the A7 and the A6 here in North America, good for 310hp and 324 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to 60 in just 5.9 seconds.
The three diesels all of 3.0L displacement and are all twin-turbocharged. The first diesel produces 204hp and 332 lb-ft of twist, the next makes 245hp and 428 lb-ft of torque, and the last mill churns out 313hp and a whopping 480 lb-ft. The most powerful diesel can thrust the new Allroad to 60 in just 5.6 seconds.
The new Audi A6 Allroad will be available in Germany later this spring. Fans of the Allroad here will be disappointed to learn that it won't be making it to our shores, simply because we still have the Q5 and Q7 SUVs.
New Audi WEC Spa 2012 Race highlights
Certain things seemed inevitable as the World Endurance Championship circus descended on Spa-Francorchamps. First, given that Toyota had binned their latest hybrid LMP1 prototype at a test session at Paul Ricard, and would therefore miss their planned debut in Belgium, the works Audis would remain untroubled en-route to victory lane. Second, this being a six-hour event on one of Europe's most challenging circuits, high-speed offs and caution periods would almost certainly come into effect. And thirdly, this being Spa, rain would inevitably play a part. Tick, tick and tick.
Audi A6 allroad quattro 2013
The first two generations of the allroad quattro from the years 2000 and 2006 were winners, and Audi hopes to build on this success with the third generation. Universally talented, the new Audi A6 allroad quattro extends the range of uses for the A6 Avant because when the asphalt ends, it just keeps on driving. Performance has improved and fuel consumption has been reduced by as much as 20 percent compared with the previous model.
Body and exterior design
The new A6 allroad quattro is 4.94 meters (16.21 ft) long, 1.90 meters (6.23 ft) wide and 1.47 (4.82 ft) meters tall, making it a few millimeters bigger than the Avant. It follows the Audi ultra lightweight construction principle familiar from the sedan, with aluminum components making up roughly 20 percent of its body. Total vehicle weight has been reduced by as much as 70 kilograms (154 lb) compared with the previous model.
The Audi A6 allroad quattro has a sportily distinctive road stance. It features balanced proportions, sharp lines delineate taut surfaces and the roof line flows into flat D-pillars. Audi offers progressive LED technology as an option for the headlights and tail lights. The xenon plus headlights can be combined with adaptive light, which ensures that the road is always properly illuminated for the situation at hand.
New hot Audi RS5
Also included in the top of the line, $68,900 Typ 8t is a quick-witted 7-speed S-tronic automatic transmission with de rigueur clicky steering wheel paddles, blippy throttle downshifts, and uniquely grippy launch control, all of which feeds your four wheels a torque vectoring Quattro diet rich in schreeeeech and vroooom. The R upgrade also includes the kind of extreme shiny/smoky eye makeup that would earn Rooney Mara a bony fist-bump from Melissa Rivers, a tessellated grille that would drive Crazy Craving right to the Honeycomb Hideout, a quartet of tail pipe tips that are only slightly less elliptical than the orbit of Jupiter's four Galilean moons (or my narrative style), and an available Alu-optic package that plates the exterior surrounds and interior switchgear with a material that answers the question: what happens when the dump combines all the metal, glass, and plastic from your recycling bin?
The refreshed Audi RS5 Coupe has finally arrived in Australia where it has a starting price of AUD $161,400. Under the hood it's the same normally aspirated V8 4.2-liter FSI engine that delivers 444 hp (331 kW / 450 PS) at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 317 lb.-ft. (430 Nm) available between 4,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm. Compared to the model it replaces, the new version of the RS5 Coupe consumes 0.3 liters / 100 km less so fuel consumption is rated at 10.5 liters / 100 km.
der Audi A6 allroad quattro im Test
Im Normalfall sind die Offroad-Versionen beliebter Oberklasseautos nur bedingt geländetauglich. Der A6 allroad ist sehr schick, belehrt uns aber auch abseits des Asphalts eines besseren.

( http://www.TFLcar.com ) Let's face it the 2013 Audi Allroad and the Lexus RX 350 will spend more time traversing American shopping mall parking lots than bouncing over boulders in the great outdoors.

Which of the two is the most off-road worthy and which of the two should you buy if you happen to cross shop the two modern vehicles.

LA 7 MOTOR PRUEBAS Audi A6 AllRoad 3.0 biTDI
Un lujoso familiar con una extraordinaria polivalencia de uso
La berlina del segmento alto de la marca de los cuatro anillos se denomina A6 y se ofrece en una variante de carrocería familiar o ranchera que Audi denomina Avant. En 2000 la marca alemana lanzó la primera generación de una versión todocamino del A6 Avant que denominó allroad y estaba preparada para afrontar caminos, pistas y zonas nevadas. Tras el éxito de esta primera generación, en 2006 llegaba la segunda y el pasado mes de marzo se lanzaba la tercera.
La clave para convertir el A6 Avant en un todocamino está en una suspensión neumática que permite aumentar la distancia libre al suelo en 4,5 centímetros y en la tracción integral permanente quattro. Para desplazamientos sobre terrenos irregulares se incluyen un indicador del ángulo de inclinación y un asistente para el descenso de pendientes. El A6 allroad mide 4,94 metros de longitud, 1,90 de anchura y 1,47 de altura. La carrocería sigue el principio de construcción ligera de Audi, con aproximadamente un 20% en aluminio. Pesa aproximadamente un 15% menos que una construcción equiparable realizada íntegramente en acero.
El sistema de tracción a la cuatro ruedas quattro utiliza un diferencial central que Audi estrenaba con los A5 para sustituir al anterior Torsen y denomina "de corona". Trabaja de forma puramente mecánica y cuando el coche circula en línea recta sobre asfalto seco, manda un 40% de la fuerza de impulsión al eje delantero y un 60% al trasero. Sobre piso deslizante el reparto de la fuerza puede variar, de modo que al eje delantero llegue hasta un 70% y al trasero hasta un 85%.
La unidad probada contaba con el motor más potente de la gama, el diésel 3.0 TDI de 313 CV. Este motor de 6 cilindros en uve es de tipo biturbo, de modo que una válvula une los dos turbocompresores dispuestos en línea. A bajas revoluciones, la válvula permanece cerrada y el turbocompresor pequeño, con su geometría de turbina variable, realiza el trabajo. A partir de las 2.500 rpm, la válvula comienza a abrirse y el turbocompresor pequeño va cediendo progresivamente el trabajo principal al grande. Entre las 3.500 y las 4.000 rpm la válvula se abre por completo, y entonces sólo funciona el turbocompresor grande.

2013 Audi Allroad Quattro Off-Road Review & Drive
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) For 2013 the Audi Allroad Quattro is back in the United States and ready to take on both the more and less traveled roads of America. Unlike the previous Allroad the new 2013 Quattro is based on the Audi A4 Avant and not the A6. But Audi says the new car is just as big as the previous Allroad and better yet it gets better fuel economy. And according to Audi, it is even faster. So we (of course) wanted to find out not only how it drives on the road but just as importantly importantly off the road. Check out this first drive review and we test the new 2013 Audi Allroad Quattro in the rugged mountains of Colorado.
