New 2013 Audi S6 review, test drive

Most luxury saloons are plenty powerful for most situations, be it crossing states to the holiday destination or driving down to work. Luxuriously appointed and loaded with all the bells and whistles, for most owners it’s all they need. For those who crave for more in terms of performance and driving pleasure, there are a whole host of sports cars that are available in the country.

But there is a class of buyers that wants the best of both the worlds; sporty performance with the practicality and luxury that only a four door saloon can offer. Simply put a sports saloon. Granted, this is a small set, but since they are there, manufacturers are willing to indulge as well. To that effect BMW has the M5 in its India line-up and Mercedes will soon launch the E63 AMG. And that’s exactly why Audi has launched the S6 in India at a price of Rs 85.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
