A rather rare offering but a spectacular one nonetheless. The A6 was the Audi A4’s bigger brother – boasting more space, more luxury, more comfort, and, in this case, more engine. The 4.2-liter V8 found in the A6 isn’t too dissimilar to those found in the original Audi R8 or the B7 RS4 – which Jeremy Clarkson says “snarls like a wounded tiger.”
As with many cars on this list, the power figures sit around the middle of the 300s – well, exactly in the middle in this case, with 350 horses to play with. As its name suggests, this A6 variant boasts Audi’s legendary AWD system pioneered in the days of Group B rally with the iconic Audi Sport Quattro, propelling the rather chunky A6 to 60 in about 5.2 seconds.
Nowadays, it’s a sweet deal for a lovely V8 and a creamy smooth ride.
