The current, facelifted C6 platform A6 has some controversy behind its naming for the 3.0T. “T” typically stands for Turbo on Audi’s however, the new 3.0L V6 is a forced induction engine that is supercharged, not turbocharged. So, many have taken issue with the A6 3.0T not being an A6 3.0S for supercharged. Seems Autoblog caught onto that in their recent review of the Audi A6 3.0TFSI.

The current 3.0TFSI A6 is both facelifted on the outside and under its skin with the revised supercharged engine and a re-worked quattro system that splits torque as 40 to the front and 60 to the rear, something that is a big step forward in terms of performance. Autoblog goes on to say:

The A6’s clear métier is to cruise the Autobahn at elevated speeds in surefooted comfort, and while we didn’t have the opportunity to play with the A6 in inclement weather, past Quattros have always done an outstanding job of maintaining a stable trajectory no matter the conditions. As A6s (and 5000s before them) have done for the past quarter-century, the slick aerodynamic shape results in admirably low levels of wind noise, making this Audi a very relaxing place to cover long distances. The suspension also does an excellent job of soaking up the expansion joints, frost heaves and potholes that typify Northern roads without ever feeling floaty or out-of-sorts.
