History & notable variants

The C4 generation of the Audi S6 marked its debut as a high-performance variant of the A6 series. It was introduced shortly after the A6 designation replaced the 100 nameplate and served as the most powerful trim level for markets where the RS6 wasn't available. The S6 Plus, a limited-production model developed by quattro GmbH, offered enhanced performance with a more powerful V8 engine.
