Powertrain Options and Availability

Both the 100-series and its A6 successor use a 2.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 172 horsepower. A turbocharged, dual overhead-cam 5-cylinder engine powers the S4 and later S6 high performance editions. Those two models came only with 5-speed manual shift. Audi's 100-series and the early A6 might have either a 5-speed or automatic transmission, but later A6 models all have automatics.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
