At the same time, in the markets of the USA, Asia, and the Middle East, the "Eska" models will continue to be offered with petrol engines, which are supplemented by a 48-volt "mild" hybrid system.
The diesel versions of the cars received a three-liter turbocharged "six" with an electric supercharger, a starter-generator, and a 48-volt on-board network. The power of the unit is 349 horsepower, and the torque reaches 700 Nm. It works in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The S6 sedan and wagon reach the first "hundred" in five and 5.1 seconds, respectively, while the S7 Sportback hatchback does it in the same 5.1 seconds. The speed limit is electronically capped at 250 km/h.
The "sixes" have a ground clearance reduced by 20 millimeters, while the "seven" has it reduced by 10 millimeters. The air suspension, when driving faster than 120 km/h, further reduces the ground clearance by another 10 millimeters.
The cars are equipped with six-piston brake mechanisms with discs of 400 millimeters in diameter at the front and 350 millimeters at the rear. Carbon-ceramic brakes are available as an option.
In Europe, sales of the diesel Audi S6 and S7 will begin in the summer. In Germany, the "six" is priced at a minimum of 76.5 thousand euros, and the "seven" starts from 82.7 thousand euros.
