Electric A6 will be available to order in Ireland from September
Audi has finally revealed the production version of its long-awaited, and somewhat delayed, A6 e-tron electric saloon .
The A6 e-tron is most definitely not tall and bulky. Indeed, it boasts one of the most aerodynamically slippery bodies in production, with a coefficient of drag figure of 0.21. In that, the A6 e-tron is following in the hallowed wheel tracks of the likes of the original 1980s Audi 100, a car whose sleek shape and flush-fit side glass arguably introduced the concept of aerodynamic shaping to the wider motoring public.
If that’s not enough, there will also be a sporting S6 quattro version, boasting as much as 550hp in its ‘Launch Control’ mode, and that will get to 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds, although you lose some range thanks to the higher power output — it falls to 675km. Air suspension will be available as an option, and in Efficiency mode that will automatically lower the A6 e-tron’s body by 20mm for even further-improved aerodynamics on long motorway journeys.
