.01 – Full LED H ea d lig h t Tech n olog y

The Audi A6 offers full LED headlights. With an
approximate lifespan of 10,000 hours, these lights
are the closest re-creation of daylight yet.2 Bright
and stylish, they offer signature brilliance from Audi.

Class is now in session.

Wisdom isn’t given, it’s earned. Good thing the 2013 Audi A6 is a
generous teacher. The lesson plan starts with access to the digital
world through an available embedded Wi-Fi hotspot.1 From there it
moves on to connecting faster using the handwriting-recognition
technology of available Audi MMI® touch. Then the course is rounded
off with the seemingly relentless grip of available Audi quattro®
all-wheel drive, and an available supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI® V6
engine, which gives you the muscle of a V8 with the thirst of a V6.
Now you have the uncompromising performance of a technologically
advanced luxury sport sedan. In every stitch, it exudes class. On
every road, it teaches.

Tornado line extends along the entire body
to provide its visual muscle.

Some writers try to conceive one brilliant character and let the plot organically build and flow from there. We took
a page from their book, so to speak, when designing the Audi A6. To create and define that brilliant character, we
started with one great line. The Tornado line. Bisecting the body profile, it runs strongly through the middle of the
vehicle to give it a bold, progressive stance that tells the world that there’s pedigree here, but not a predictable one.
After that, the narrative becomes yours.

where the legendary Audi quattro® all-wheel drive sys-

show of its ability to mesh luxury and power, it offers
signature sport seats with integrated head restraints.

Our interior has no mirror image.
Passion doesn’t benefit from balance. Maybe that’s why nothing, from the gleaming
aluminum-trim surrounds to the burnished decorative wood or brushed aluminum
inlays, is symmetrical. We considered every component of the interior and found that
the people interacting with it would have different needs. So the dashboard isn’t in
balance—it’s in a proper perspective for the driver and the passengers, respectively. A
uniquely Audi perspective. By incorporating luxury materials and top-flight craftsman-
ship, we stand apart. Designed with inspired abandon, the Audi A6 interior provides a
welcome contrast to the same old symmetry.

. 04 – D ec ora t i ve I n la ys
Incorporating painstaking craftsmanship, the Audi approach to
our wood and metal inlays is the same as it is to our engineering.
Imperfection is not an option. So natural wood shines, and brushed
aluminum glistens. We capture the right accent of your interior
choice, and add a singular finish to its fit.
 We’re not the type to keep you
at arm’s length.
It’s time to put yourself in the driver’s seat. Feel how the wraparound curve of the Audi
A6 dashboard invites your exploration. See how it integrates intuitively with the overall
driver-centric layout. Discover how the design centers around the available Audi MMI®
Navigation plus with its 8" display deploying from and retracting into the instrument panel.
Then admire the finely crafted decorative inlays displayed before you. Now spark the ignition.
It’s your time to drive.
