The A6 that introduced Audi's signature LED daytime running lights — a design element that became an industry standard.

History

The C6 was the first Audi designed entirely under Walter de Silva's direction. The single-frame grille became Audi's defining feature. The RS6 Avant's twin-turbo V10 (shared with the Lamborghini Gallardo) produced 580 hp.
