During the launch of the 2013 Audi RS5 Coupe in Mumbai today, Michael Perschke, Head of Audi India, told us that the Audi S6 4.0 TFSI Quattro, which is the performance variant of the A6 luxury sedan, would be launched in India on 11th or this month.
The Audi S6 4.0 TFSI Quattro will come to us via CBU route and this means that the car would have a stratospheric price tag. It may be noted that the Audi S4, the performance variant of the A4 sedan, is already on sale in India and has won a lot of appreciation from us back when we tested it.
