The Audi A6 C4 S6 Avant 2.2 Quattro produced in 1994 was a high-performance variant of the fourth-generation Audi Avant model series. It featured a 2.2-liter inline-5 cylinder engine (B5), which produced 170 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 173 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm.
The "S6" designation refers to its performance-oriented character, while "Avant" signifies that it was a station wagon body style. The car's four-wheel drive system, Quattro, contributed significantly to its handling capabilities, stability, and overall driving experience on various road conditions.
Standard equipment for this model included 16-inch alloy wheels, power steering, ABS braking, electronic windows, a central locking system, and an audio system with a CD player and cassette tape player. The interior features were complemented by a two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls for the radio, an electric driver's seat with memory, and rear seats that folded down to increase cargo space.
Safety features were robust and standard, including side impact protection, three-point inertia-reel belts in all seating positions, driver and passenger airbags, and ABS braking with electronic brakeforce distribution. The car's body was constructed from steel with a Galvanized coating to ensure corrosion resistance.
Performance capabilities included reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in approximately 8 seconds, with an electronically governed top speed of around 140 mph (225 km/h). Fuel efficiency estimates for urban and extra-urban driving cycles were not disclosed in this context, but the vehicle was designed to meet post-1994 emission regulations.
