The Audi A6, the most representative car culture of BBA

In the eight-generation journey from C1 to C8, from 1968 to 2020, from Audi 100 to Audi A6 to Audi A6L, each generation of Audi A6 has performed very well in the market.

In the Chinese market, the Audi A6 has a deeply rooted official car image. With solid automobile manufacturing technology and continuous innovation, the Audi A6 will be an ivy in the automobile market, while the Audi A6L will be a tasteful ivy in the Chinese automobile market.

The Audi A6 is the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market. Its predecessor was the third-generation Audi 100 code-named C3 introduced into the country in 1988.

The A6L is a car series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the new German A6. It is a replacement product of the A6 and was officially launched in China in 2005.

Audi 100? (C1) 1968-1976 In 1968, the first-generation Audi 100 was officially unveiled. Its design was stylish and elegant. The chrome frame and inverted trapezoidal headlights on the front made it appear wider than its class. The ratio of body glass to metal was unprecedented.

The height not only highlights the slender figure of a high-end car, but also creates a magical sense of transparency in the cockpit.

The Audi 100 (C1) uses a front-engine 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. It is the first Audi model series to use a water-cooled front engine. It has more comfortable and agile handling performance than its competitors.

In addition, the Audi 100 is available in a variety of models, including a two-door Coupe version and a two-door/four-door sedan version.

The interior of the C1 is exquisite. The horizontal dashboard and the wood grain decoration throughout appear wide and light, highlighting the temperament of a luxury vehicle at that time.

Audi 100 (C2) 1976-1982 The redesigned Audi 100 (C2) was launched in 1976. Its biggest feature is the use of an in-line 5-cylinder gasoline engine with a power of 74kW, equipped with the most advanced gasoline injection system and exhaust gas at the time.

The turbocharger creates the myth of "6 cylinders of power, 4 cylinders of fuel consumption".

The C3 overcame the vibration problem of the 5-cylinder engine, making it as smooth as an 8-cylinder sedan, and became Audi's first model in history to sell 1 million units.

Audi 100 (C3) 1982-1991 The third-generation Audi 100 is the first model produced by Audi in China. In 1988, Audi granted China FAW a production license, and China FAW began to produce the Audi 100. Since then, it has dominated the domestic official car market.

Achieving a generation of official cars.

The exterior design of the C3 originated from a concept car model designed in 1977. This concept car was designed by Martin Smith and reduced the air resistance coefficient to 0.29.

Under the guidance of this series of development concepts, the mass-produced C3 model has a wind resistance coefficient of only 0.30, the lowest in the world for mass-produced cars.

In addition, the third-generation Audi 100 also uses Audi's most representative quattro full-time four-wheel drive system, and its handling performance is very outstanding among vehicles in its class.

The interior design of the Audi C3 has also become a generation classic, and the original FAW version was later reproduced on the new Mingshi.

Audi 100 (C4) 1991-1997 In 1991, the Audi 100 was upgraded to the C4 platform. Four years after the C4 was named after the Audi 100, it was officially renamed the Audi A6 in 1995. The design of this generation of models is more refined and beautiful, and the drag coefficient is further reduced to 0.29.

The main change of the C4 was the introduction of a 2.8-liter V6 engine. Later, a 2.6-liter displacement was added with the same structure as the 2.8-liter. At the same time, the S6 model was launched. As a top sports model, the first-generation S6 was equipped with a 4.2L V8

The engine has a maximum power of 286 horsepower and is equipped with a quattro full-time four-wheel drive system.

Audi A6 (C5) 1997-2004 In 1997, Audi launched the new C5 generation A6 at the Geneva Motor Show, which is also a generation widely recognized by more Chinese car fans.

This car has undergone fundamental changes compared to the first four generations of models. In terms of appearance, a large number of curves have replaced straight lines. The second-generation A6 has a rounded and elegant appearance, and has better aerodynamics, making the drag coefficient reach

A lower 0.28 improves handling and fuel economy.

The interior design of C5 also chose a minimalist design theme. All functions and the touch of materials have become an important way to reflect the value of the interior. The designers believe in sincere design, such as leather grain, wood trim, and aluminum alloy.

Let these materials maintain their natural feel.

In 1999, FAW-Volkswagen domestically produced the C5-generation Audi A6, which was the most luxurious sedan among domestically produced cars at the time.

In order to meet China's national conditions, the overall length of the domestic version of the A6 is 90mm longer than the international version, and the overall height is also increased by 22mm.

The Audi A6L has officially entered the attention of the Chinese people and has become the "standard setter" for all future elongated models developed to meet the needs of the Chinese people.

Audi A6 (C6) 2004-2011 In 2005, also at the Geneva Motor Show, Audi launched the C6 generation A6.
