Power is channelled to all four corners via the rear biased Quattro four wheel drive system and adaptive air suspension can also be set for sporty handling. But around the tight corners of the race track its long wheelbase and near five meter length did make their presence felt. That’s not to say it’s a bad handler. In fact it’s quite entertaining to drive; the electromechanical steering returns a lot of feel and the brakes shed speeds effectively too.

The S6 then is nearly everything a sport saloon should be. It’s quick, engaging to drive, not really that hard edged and will be comfy when you take it easy. The fact however is that sport saloons aren’t a big sell in India, but do work as halo products rubbing off on the sales of the regular versions. Those who do buy one won’t be disappointed, we however would like ours with a more aggressive front end and had a raspier exhaust note.
