Dont only judge a car by it’s looking! Let’s have a glimpse at Audi S6 modifying its brakes with Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.

     It's the old story: you can't judge a gift by the package. It is also the case for cars. Imagine you are driving your lovely car on the road, maybe this minute you are scorning those cars passing by, but next minute, when it’s speeding up, the only thing you can see is its tail light disappearing right ahead of you. Today let’s have a look at one of this representatives, modest-looking Audi S6.

     Audi S6 is a medium-sized sport car model made based on Audi A6. It applied original European design so its wheelbase is not lengthened like some of its previous generations, which makes it have the Audi original drive-ability. Audi S6 isn’t quite impressive seen from the outside, it has a modest looking, which continued A6L’s design style, you won’t feel any difference at the first glimpse. But by modifying some details like applying some sport brake kit, it gained a sport car feeling. Double-frame front grille plus inlaid S6 logo revealed its identity. However, the most revealing characteristic is the pair of “silver ears”, silver rear-view mirror is S series’s unique feature. It helps people recognize it right away. 

     The 4.0t twin-turbocharged 4.0t engine used by the audi S6 is used in many cars. In addition to audi's own S and RS systems, even the Bentley GT is a fan. The engine has a maximum power of 420 horsepower and a maximum torque of 550N·M. With the help of the quattro full-wheel drive system and the seven-speed S tronic transmission, a 100km acceleration takes only 4.6 seconds.

     Original Audi S6 installed 6 piston calipers and ventilated front disc brakes, single piston callipers, rear brake systems with ventilated disc brakes, such configuration let audi S6 got 36.92 meters braking distance in 100-0 km/h brake test project, as a performance car, perhaps such brake performance is not very outstanding, thus makes the brake modification field has more room to make improvement.

     An important factor in improving braking performance is to reduce the overall weight of the car. So what about the reduction in brake weight? According to most of the super sports car on the market at present which configuring carbon ceramic brakes, and from the research of all kinds of events in the practical application effect, lighter brake rotor means weight cut under suspension. This enables the suspension system to respond more quickly, thus improving the overall control level of the vehicle. That’s why we updated the audi S6 with the brembo carbon ceramic brake kit.
