Audi A6 review (24/07/2013)

EVERY now and then, a car surpasses expectations. Regular readers will know of my fondness for all things Audi; that’s why I’ve owned several of their cars.

When the German company contacted me to test its new A6 Bi-turbo, I had no great expectation. “They’ve just delved into their bag of tricks to breathe new life into an old turbodiesel engine,” I mused to myself, thinking there was nothing to get excited about. How wrong I was.

Even given my fondness for Audi, when the A6 Bi-turbo wheeled into the driveway, I was bowled over. The new A6 is a pretty car, having gestated maturely from the original, frumpy ‘ass-like-a-Belgian-Blue’ A6, but the Bi-turbo version will ‘take the eye from your head’. It looks sensational.
