Audi has recently introduced an “ultra” variant of the A6 Avant 2.0 TDI, following a similar more powerful yet frugal edition of the A3 that was unveiled last year.
The standard model comes equipped with 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine that outputs 175 HP (129 kW) in standard configuration but in the “ultra” variant it has been tuned to deliver 190 HP (140 kW). The torque figure has also increased to 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) with an increase of just 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). Thanks to these power upgrades the model is now able to accelerate to 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) 0.3 seconds faster in 8.7s while the maximum speed has increased by 2 mph to 140 mph (225 km/h).
Despite being more powerful, the Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI Ultra Black Edition is now more fuel efficient as it does 51.1 mpg US (61.4 mpg UK or 4.6 liters / 100 km) whereas the standard model returns 47 mpg US (56.5 mpg UK or 5 liters / 100 km). CO2 emissions were also slashed from 132 g/km to 119 g/km.
Pricing of the UK-spec model start off from 37,010 GBP for the Avant.
