The Audi A6 Avant isn't necessarily the most awesome model that the German automaker offers, but it is one of just a handful of luxury->ke505 wagons available on the market. However, when Audi->ke14 introduced the new 3.0 Biturbo engine with 313 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, which affords it a 5.3-second 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint and a 155 mph top speed, we couldn't help but take notice.
Apparently, Senner Tuning took notice too, as it just introduced a tuning package for the A6 Avant 3.0 TDI Biturbo that takes the A6 Avant to a new level. The tuner installed its Stage 2 tuning kit for the 3.0 TDI Biturbo engine, a sport air filter and a power convertor for the drive-by-wire system to help boost its output to 374 horsepower and 572 pound-feet of torque. Though Senner did not disclose the performance numbers of this retuned A6 Avant, we estimate it at 5 seconds to 100 km/h (62 mph) and a top speed of 180 mph.
With this boost in power, Senner also chose to increase its adhesion to the road. It started off by installing a KW Street Comfort coil-over kit that drops the A6's ride height by 30 to 55 mm (1.18 to 2.16 inches). Senner also gives buyers the choice of two 9.5-by-20-inch wheels -- Varianza T1S or Sword SC1 -- with high-gloss black on the faces and high-gloss anodized beads. The rims are wrapped in 255/35R20 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta rubber.
Other than the custom wheels and the lowering kit, the A6->ke934's exterior remains unchanged, making this the perfect sleeper kit for any owner.

Audi A6 Avant
The Audi A6 debuted in 1994 as the replacement -- technically, badge engineering -- to the Audi 100. In 1997, the second-gen A6 debuted with a slightly revised body and sat atop the new Volkswagen Group C5 platform. In 2004, the third-generation A6 debuted with a longer, more aerodynamic body and a new base 2.0-liter engine with 168 horsepower. Finally, in 2011, the fourth-gen A6 debuted with a completely different body, headlights, taillights, grille, platform and engine lineup.
The fourth-gen A6 Avant, in particular, had eight engine options in total. The gasoline-powered engines include a 2.0 TSFI with 180 horsepower, a 2.8 FSI with 204 horsepower, and a 3.0 TSFI with 310 horsepower . The diesel lineup included a 2.0 TDI with 177 horsepower and four 3.0 TDI engines with power ranging from 204 horsepower to 313 horsepower.
