Audi S6 Price: $71,850













The S6 takes everything that’s right with the A6 sedan—elegant design, rich interior materials, and innovative technology—and adds a huge dollop of power. With a 450-hp, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, the engine offers cylinder deactivation for improved fuel economy. All-wheel drive and an adaptive air suspension help to harness all that power, making it a blast to drive in all types of weather. It’s pricey, but few cars combine excellence at so many levels.




Audi S5 Price: $54,050 - $62,050














Quick, nimble, and subtly handsome summarize the stunning S5 regardless of body style. All S5s combine Quattro all-wheel drive with precise steering, adept brakes, and sharp handling. The coupe and convertible use a 333-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6. A six-speed manual is standard in the coupe, but the convertible’s exclusive seven-speed automatic is optional. A four-door S5 Sportback extends an already roomy rear seat; it packs a 354-hp turbo 3.0-liter V-6 and an eight-speed automatic.




Audi S4 2017 Price: $50,125 - $51,125













From the way it looks to the way it drives, the S4 is a blast to pilot, and we dig it. It’s an all-wheel-drive, sport-tuned version of the already excellent A4, powered by a supercharged 333-hp V-6. A six-speed manual is standard; a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic is optional. Interior and exterior styling is understated compared with some of its more extroverted competitors, and the S4 can get pricey when you start to add on the options. An all-new, more powerful S4 is due in early 2017.




Audi RS7 Price: $111,650 - $130,450













With a sleek, fastback body, 20-inch wheels and aggressive styling mods, the RS7 could get by on looks alone—but as an RS model, that’s not necessary. This bahn-burner packs a spectacular twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 that makes 560 hp, a performance-tuned eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive, and a lowered suspension. For more power, the RS7 Performance makes 605 hp. While the six-figure price tag is not cheap, the RS7 is as close as it gets to an R8 supercar with four doors and a hatch.




Audi RS5













The huge air intakes are the first clue that the RS5 is no average beast, and they are certainly not the last. The meanest version of Audi’s sport coupe now has a twin-turbo V-6 instead of a naturally aspirated V-8. The new engine produces 444 hp, just shy of the outgoing V-8, but torque has increased to 443. On call to help transfer that power to the ground is Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system via an eight-speed automatic. We expect the new RS5 to be as expertly executed as its predecessor.
