[@MrOpticBlade]

benster358 Because diesels are more enviromently friendly, economical and practical. At least here in Finland they are. We have this thing called Neste BioDiesel. With that fuel a dieselcar produces 12g of co2 per kilomiter compared to an fully electric car that produces 29g of co2 per kilomiter.

[@waifuracer6516]

Ah typical. Focusing on little details and not seeing the bigger picture. The reason ehy audi has suddenly changed to diesels on their S lineup is due to the fact that idiotic europe wants to ban diesels completely. Now the issue is that modern diesels are greener than petrols, especially hybrid diesels, not to mention they are more reliable and robust. Audi saw whats going on and decided to push their diesel tech and show the world that you cant get rid of diesels. I drove an A5 3.0tdi and it was amazing, loads of power and good mpg, not to mention with a rear muffler delete it sounded like a gtr. People who hate the new S line up just becaus the diesel engine are dumb.

[@sheldoncoffelt1891]

@@waifuracer6516 no what's dumb is building replacing a twin turbo 450hp V8 that'll go O-60 under 4 seconds with a 300 something hp diesel that can't get to 60 in under 5.

[@Gui154]

[@MikaelGotlib]

Dear God, what happened to the S line up...a diesel ??!? WTH

[@dryvve]

My guess is the following: S line up is considered for business men who want a relatively efficient but yet fast car so a powerful diesel is the way to go. For the really sporty and insane version of the car you have to buy the rs. Just from a marketing perspective that is quite a smart move because now the rs models are the only true sporty ones and the price you pay for them suddenly seems much more reasonable compared to the s lineup

[@papa_pt]

@@dryvve this is S, not S-line A6. It'd be fine if they built an S6 diesel but making it the only option seems dumb If you are buying a S/RS car, you can afford the gas and want something exciting under the hood. "quite a smart move" to leave a larger market of sports-sedan buyers (S) to the dust so they can more likely move over to a competitor than pay $30k extra just to stay within Audi and get an RS

[@N444BYL]

We have the SQ7 actually plus that has an amazing sound

[@dryvve]

@@papa_pt ye im definitely not a supporter of their new philosophy but that's the best guess i could make

[@soundseeker63]

Well the diesel SQ7 V8 has been around a while now, so it's not as if this came out of the blue. The difference is that, being a V8, that actually sounds pretty decent, and being a new model, it doesn't pail in comparison to its predecessor. This S6 is pretty tragic compared to the old model, which was basically a remap away from being an RS6.

[@Sam-mw5hx]

This has the worst fake exhaust and the worst sound I’ve ever heard. Terrible car

[@94Coelho]

So Audi had 3 engine choices for the s6, without developing anything new: the 2.9 litre twin turbo V6 (petrol) from the Rs4 and the Rs5, which they will use outside Europe; the Diesel V8 4.0 TDi, Tri-Turbo that they currently use in the Audi SQ7 and SQ8; and finally, they could just use the less powerful 3.0 TDi V6 Bi turbo they used in the previous gen a6 and a7. The later is the one they've chosen. Which is not fine. In the previous gen, the car equiped with this engine was not an S-model (nor an RS, obviously), and they new they might get some bad reviews with an S-model with such low powered engine. I think that is more problematic than being a diesel. If Audi had put the tri turbo V8 diesel from the sq7, people would love it, because it would be the perfect rival to the BMW 550d, making them both the best continent-crosser-power-station-wagons. Then, Audi just needed to make the new RS6, which apparently they actually did a good job, and we would have the perfect Audi Station Wagon Duo. So yeah, not a bad call to go Diesel on the S6, just a bad call not to go for the V8 TDI.

@@Rookiereece lmfao and? "Businessmen" is vague... But I'd consider my father to be one. The fuel economy of the north american petrol S6 is great, considering the previous gen was a V8 and therefore not something he'd have ever considered. A diesel is really pushing the assumption that S car buyers don't want a "fast" Audi... He makes CAD$300k/year on average but he wouldn't rationalize paying $100k for the RS6. Anyway; he currently drives a 2016 340i MPP2 and will likely buy a 2020 S7.

@@Rookiereece Businessmen worried about economy shouldn't be looking at an S6, they'd be happy with the standard A6 in 3.0 diesel. The S range is for sporty performance as its branding suggests.

[@Eric-rj7yi]

There actually is a explaination to the fake exhaust pipes. The head of design, Marc Lichte, met up with a swedish motor journalist (925 Motor) and said that he was given the task to design the new S6 and S7. It was supposed to be a V6/V8 petrol so Lichte designed it to be a petrol car which explains the four exhaust pipes. However, the engineers of Audi decided that it was going to be a diesel for the european market instead of a petrol version. Lichte was already done with the design when this happened and the design of the car was in "design stop" which means that you can't change the design after that. The car was in the hands of the engineers by then who tried having 2 real exhausts and 2 fake. However, when testing the car in winter conditions, half of it got covered in snow and the other half didn't because of the heat from the exhaust. The engineers then had the thought of having 4 real exhaust but that wasn't psyically possible since the Adblue tank was in the way for the other 2 exhaust pipes. It was simply a communication error between the departments Here's 925 Motor's original video explaining it. The video is in swedish with no subs tho kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmGopYOFepmqodU&t
