1998 Audi A6 Avant quattro

Every Audi A6 Avant (apart from the 1.9 TDI) is available as a quattro with permanent four-wheel drive. This improves even further on the already outstanding traction and dynamic performance of the Audi A6 with front-wheel drive. Differing grip properties on road surfaces, in rain, when aquaplaning occurs or on snow as well as those which can occur when taking emergency avoidance measures are easier to handle with an Audi quattro. Its permanent four-wheel drive enhances driving pleasure in all conditions. The turn-in effect ranging from neutral to light understeer, excellent directional stability and agile cornering make Audi A6 quattro models the most reliable of companions whatever the situation. The four-wheel drive Audi A6 Avant is predestined for use as a towing car in both the leisure and business areas on account of its tremendous pulling power, in particular that of the V6 models. Horse-box or yacht ­ the Audi A6 Avant can and indeed is permitted to tow up to 2,100 kilograms (A6 Avant 2.8 quattro on gradients up to eight percent).
