The Audi A6 C4 2.8 Quattro was a high-performance variant of the A6 sedan produced in 1994. Here's an overview:
Engine and Performance:
The vehicle was equipped with a 2.8-liter V6 engine (D7Z), producing 174 horsepower at 5,500 rpm.
This inline-6 configuration featured a dual overhead camshaft design, providing improved fuel efficiency and smooth power delivery.
Torque output reached 215 Nm (159 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, giving the car sufficient pulling power for its size.
The engine was paired with a Tiptronic automatic transmission or a manual Getrag G280 6-speed gearbox.
Transmission:
The Tiptronic transmission featured an electronically controlled clutch pack and torque converter. This allowed drivers to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic shifting modes, giving them more control over gear selection.
When using the Tiptronic mode, the transmission would automatically adjust gear shifts based on driver input and road conditions.
Performance Figures:
The 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration time was around 7.5 seconds for both manual and automatic transmissions.
Top speed with the Tiptronic transmission was electronically limited to 144 mph (232 km/h), while a claimed top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h) could be achieved with the manual gearbox.
