1998 First Audi TT Coupe

The Audi TT design study shown at the 1995 German Motor Show was greeted enthusiastically, not least for the sheer purity of its design. Now the series-production model is about to be launched, and confirms the fascinating, no-compromise design of this remarkable sports car. The original concept is still totally intact ­ something of a rarity in automobile development! The necessities of series production have been incorporated into the design with exceptional care.
The TT first took shape in the minds ­ or better still, in the hearts ­ of Audi designers who have retained all their enthusiasm for a truly outstanding car, and who were given as much freedom as possible to translate their concept of "the way Audi should build a sports car" into reality.
The TT Coupй is the first Audi model to be built and assembled as a joint operation between Ingolstadt, Germany and Hungary.

1998 Audi A6 Avant 2,7 Biturbo

The Audi A6 Avant’s top-of-the-range engine is the newly developed 2.7 litre V6 "Biturbo" with 169 kW (230 bhp). Engine development was based on the equivalent Audi S4 engine, but with the peripherals revised with a view to installation in the A6. The 2.7 T is equipped with Audi’s five-valve cylinder heads, water cooled turbochargers, charge-air intercooler, sequential fuel injection, adaptive knock control and charge-air control. A slightly reduced boost pressure and a re-matched engine control unit characteristic are the most important technical changes when compared with the initial engine.
Increased refinement and more torque at lower engine speeds were of primary importance in the chosen specification. The result is impressive: the maximum torque of 310 Nm is available between 1700 to 4600 rpm. This makes the Audi A6 Avant a commanding, dynamic performer with major reserves in hand.
The power flow is immense and remains continuously so until it reaches the nominal speed of 5800 rpm. The measured acceleration values from 0 to100 km/h (7.3 seconds) and the in-gear acceleration value (60 to 120 km/h in 14.0 seconds in fifth gear, 17.3 seconds in sixth gear) can only partly relay the splendid experience of driving an A6 Avant 2.7 T quattro.
But its not only the car’s performance which impresses: the miserly manner in which the biturbo V-6 consumes fuel demonstrates the driveline’s efficiency: 16.4/7.9/11.0 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total in accordance with 93/116/EU) are the fuel consumption values for the A6 Avant 2.7 T with five-speed tiptronic transmission and front wheel drive.
The 2.7 litre engine, which has been optimally tuned to suit requirements in this class, represents the refined power unit par excellence in the Audi A6. In combination with the 6-speed manual gearbox, the A6 Avant 2.7T is in a position to glide along leisurely and economically along at relatively low engine speeds, but has ample reserves for a dynamic, enthusiastic driving style as and when required. The five-speed tiptronic transmission which is available as an optional extra provides even greater driver convenience without compromising driving pleasure in any way.

1998 Audi A6 Avant, six-cylinder

The newly developed 2.4 litre six-cylinder sparkles with the entire spectrum of Audi’s typical range of technologies: five-valve cylinder head, variable intake camshaft, flow- and torque-maximised plastic variable air intake system. A maximum power output of 121 kW (165 bhp) at 6000 rpm and 230 Nm of torque at 3200 rpm ensure supreme performance and excellent elasticity: the Audi A6 Avant 2.4 accelerates from 60 to 120 km/h in 20.3 seconds, the German country-road speed limit of 100 km/h is reached in 9.4 seconds from a standstill.
In spite of its superior dynamic performance, the 2.4 litre V6 is also a delight to its owner at the filling station, thanks to its moderate fuel consumption: only 14.0/7.5/9.9 litre per 100 kilometre (urban/extra-urban/total in accordance with 93/116/EU) for the A6 Avant 2.4 with five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.
The 2.8 litre power unit offers a little bit more of everything: displacement, torque, output and outstanding dynamism. The increase in displacement in comparison to the 2.4 litre V6 is a result of a cylinder bore of 82.5 instead of 81 millimetres and an extended stroke of 86.4 instead of 77.4 millimetres. The higher power output of 142 kW (193 bhp) and the even greater torque of 280 Nm are the results. More than 90 per cent of the maximum torque curve lies between 2500 rpm and 5000 rpm and ensures forceful thrust from the Audi A6 Avant 2.8 over the entire speed range: 8.4 seconds from a standstill to 100 km/h, 17.8 seconds in fifth gear from 60 to 120 km/h. With its commanding performance this engine also ensures an additional measure of active safety. The properties of the 2.8 litre engine, with its emphasis on smooth running and commanding torque flow, are greatly appreciated by customers.
The fuel consumption values for its class: 14.3/7.3/9.9 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total in accordance with 93/116/EU) for the A6 Avant 2.8 with five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.

1998 Audi A6 Avant 2,5 V6 TDI

The Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI performs like a sports saloon and has the modest thirst of a small car. The six-cylinder diesel has its air intake boosted by a turbocharger up to 0.9 bar. The compressed intake air flows through a charge-air intercooler to a total of 12 intake ports and thence to the combustion chamber, where the resulting high thermal energy yields a maximum torque of 310 Nm. This high level is maintained all the way from 1500 rpm to 3200 rpm; the diesel engine’s peak power output is 110 kW (150 bhp) at 4000 rpm. The vigorous power generated by this engine sweeps the Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI from 0 to 100 km/h in only 9.9 seconds. Acceleration in the intermediate gears is just as impressive: 16.5 seconds for the 60 to 120 km/h discipline in fifth gear (21.9 seconds in sixth gear). This agility is accompanied by typically thrifty diesel fuel-consumption values: 10.0/5.3/7.0 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total in accordance with 93/116/EU) for the A6 Avant 2.5 TDI with six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.
The six-cylinder TDI engine runs even more smoothly than its five-cylinder predecessor and thus attains a significant level of refinement for a diesel power unit.

1998 Audi A6 Avant 1,8 Turbo

The turbocharged engine’s lively acceleration makes an express machine out of the Audi A6 1.8 T: 9.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, 20.5 seconds from 60 to 120 km/h in fifth gear. This powerful 110 kW (150 bhp) engine has no trouble in achieving such values. The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine has intentionally been designed to respond quickly and develop ample torque at low engine speeds. Between 1750 rpm and 4600 rpm the driver has a torque of 210 Nm available. The 1.8 litre turbo is equipped with a small turbocharger which responds quickly when the throttle is opened, and supplies compressed intake air to the combustion chamber by way of a large charge-air intercooler.
Together with the high engine torque this engine characteristic tends to encourage early shifting up into higher gears. In connection with the car’s moderate weight this gives the A6 Avant 1.8 T with five-speed manual gearbox a fuel consumption of only 10.8/6.7/8.3 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total) according to the 93/116/EU standard test method.

1998 Audi A6 Avant 1,9 TDI

The powerful and economical TDI four-cylinder, in terms of engine output, is actually the Audi A6 Avant’s entry-level engine. However, this engine variant gives the A6 Avant some highly impressive performance characteristics ­ and also makes it one of the most economical estate cars in its class. Thanks to the turbocharger with VTG (variable turbine geometry) the driver has access to the maximum torque of 235 Nm at 1900 rpm, with the peak power output of 81 kW (110 bhp) being developed as early as 4150 rpm.
Its astonishing torque over a wide speed range guarantees elasticity whenever the situation demands it: 23.8 seconds from 60 to 120 km/h in top gear, 12.8 seconds for the standard acceleration discipline of 0-100 km/h. Even more impressive is the fuel consumption achieved by the four-cylinder TDI: 7.6/4.7/5.8 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total in accordance with 93/116/EU) for the Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDI with five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive.
