The Audi A6 is a mid size luxury car, built by the German automaker Audi AG. The car is built on the Volkswagen Group C platform, which reached sixth generation as well as the model its self (for each generation VW built or improved the platform, thus we to differentiate the models we will name by its platform, C1, C2…..C6) . The name A6 is around since 1994 (C4 model), the model that succeeded was the Audi 100 (C3). The current generation is built on the C6 Platform, on which there are also built the S6, RS6 and Avant (Station Wagon) models.
