basic warrantyCompeting in the midsize sedan segment, the 2013 Audi S6 is a direct competitor to the Jaguar XF Supercharged, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E550 Sedan, and the BMW 5 Series 550i. With standalone trim, the S6 starts off at an MSRP of $71,900. It is offered with a 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 and a 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission, producing 420 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the S6 manages a 0-60 of 4.8 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG.
Since the S6 comes in only one base trim, Audi has tried to furnish it with a number of standard features. However, for those who want to invest a bit more, the Cold Weather Package worth $450 and the Driver Assistance Package worth $2,500 are suitable. However, if you have a little deeper pockets then the $5,650 Innovation Package and the $1,950 Comfort Seating Package are perfect
