Engine-
Newly developed twin-turbo V8 produces 420 hp and 406 lb-ft of
torque
The 2013 S6 uses a new twin-turbocharged,
direct-injection 4.0-liter V8 engine called TFSI that makes 420
horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. That's a slight power drop from
the 435 hp on the previous powerplant, a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated
V10, but an increase in torque over the previous 398 lb-ft. Paired with a
7-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Audi says the S6 will beat the
outgoing model in the 0-62 mph run at 4.8 seconds, compared with 5.1
seconds on the previous generation. The top speed on the 2013 Audi S6
will be electronically limited at 155 mph.
