Audi’s new electric car woos Generation Hashtag with intense acceleration and a one-pedal drive mode.
Prices? Still TBD for the U.S., with sales set for late spring or summer 2025Fly for hours to the southwest from Madrid, along the coast of northwestern Africa, and eventually the dormant volcano Mount Teide pops up into view. One of many that formed the Canary Islands millions of years ago, the volcano hasn’t erupted since 1909, but it still looms ominously over its signature work—black ash scattered thickly, for miles around.
Audi wants to replace the gas-powered S6 in as straightforward a way as possible. To wit, behind its battery power, the) has an intricate design, solid dynamic appeal, and an efficient powertrain. It’s hot-swappable for the former car—but ends up being defined more by what it doesn’t do. It doesn’t make artificial noise , it doesn’t put passengers above the driver—and most important of all, it doesn’t hesitate to make quick work of extraordinary roads..
Before we become grist for the influencer mill—aren’t we all, now?—the S6 influences me in the ways it can best. It makes for a fearsomely fast hustle from the coast to the mountains, with laser-quick flicks of power to erase other cars from the road, and from memory. But if you want balance and smoothness, maybe the lesser A6 is for you? As the dirt around us starts to render black streaks among the brown, I tap the S6 into its Sport drive modes. Sound barks through the speakers, the suspension firms up, and the steering weights up, without drama. It’s been so serene that the gain in bump-steer and ride stiffness get noticed—but don’t upset its powerfully composed demeanor.
