Audi S6 was spied while being tested in Germany
The Audi S6 was finally spotted while it was tested in Germany. What make the S6 so special are the sportier fascias, aerodynamic side skirts and a four-tailpipe exhaust system. It won't be a complete surprise if the model will have a revised grille and faux aluminum mirror casings. What we can't see is that the power will be provided by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and this engine will be used in the Bentley Continental GT. It was declared that this engine, using a single turbo version in the Bentley, will produce 415 hp (309 kW / 420 PS). The S6 is in an ...

After Lamborghini added significantly to the bottom line, with lightweight models, such as the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, Audi has also taken the idea of lightweight research.

Peugeot shoes new face of the 508 range ahead of the Geneva Auto Show
The new 508 SW Allroad was spied while it was undergoing some winter testing in northern Europe and it appears to be pretty obvious that Peugeot is planning to take on Audi's "allroad" tradition.
