I have owned (and LOVED) my 08' S6 for the last 7 years. Finally getting to see one of my favorite youtubers do a review of my ride has made my week. Thanks Doug! The car he is reviewing is missing a few plastic covers & stickers and is a low-spec version. The highest spec has full carbon fibre trim, rear heated seats, S6 branded (front) carpets and a couple other options. Regarding the transmission, when you switch to "S" mode, the transmission sharpens up, and that's when you get to those faster figures. Mine is stock, and I was able to do 0-62 in just over 4.6 seconds. The subtle styling makes this car blend in really well, but its always fun to be at the lights and see guys suddenly notice the "V10" badge and start freaking out. Maintenance is NOT easy; averages roughly $1100/year, so keep that in mind when pricing. I got mine with low mileage 7 years ago, and I've taken proper care of it since, so I know everything is tip-top. I would be reluctant to buy a high mileage one of these without knowing completely how well the previous owner had taken care of it. The walnut blast alone is about $900, and I've had to get it done twice now with relatively low mileage (only use 94 octane), so keep that in mind.
Lambo prices, and almost everything is an engine out, i had out 4 times in 10 years lol not because was broke but needed maintenance like ac compressor, alternator those things.. a x pipe exhaust does some miracles haha
The interior of this Audi blow my head, it's so incredible, very technological and pretty advanced of his year (in my opinion) This is a beatiful and powerfull car
I had one of those S6’s back in the day. There’s a Valet key with a chip. Once the buttons pressed the valet key works, the button can only be deactivated once the main key is back in the car.
@@josephbareski6931 actually both wrong and Doug is wrong as well. Its a 4.2 with 2 more cylinders. All the engines in VW Group are developed by Audi. Except the VR6 the was developed by VW and Audi and some of the Porsche engines that they have had for awhile. When you take an engine out from VW Lamborghini Porsche and Bentley. The Audi ring are molded into the engine blocks. With WV under it because they own the group. You never see Lamborghini Porsche and Bentley insignias molded on any of the engine blocks. Just like when you pull out an engine from a Lexus the engine block has Toyota molded in to it. Audi designs and develops the engines for VW Group.
@@dem5757 even the 1L turbo 110HP? Any engine Audi also offer I would expect to be made by them but.. those are seemingly exclusive to economy VWs and Skoda and stuff. But it’d be pretty funny/neat if you took off the engine cover and there’s the Audi.
My dad had an S8 and he let several people drive it without telling them what it was. Almost everyone (who wasn't a car person) had no idea it was a special car, even after driving it. If you kept it out of sport mode and never mashed the throttle it seemed very tame. If you did mash the throttle, it was crazy how quick that huge car was.
Sounds accurate. My 4.2 A6 felt kinda sluggish if you were driving around town but half throttle, or even better pedal to the floor so you can press the switch and it would scream. God I loved that car
Talks about the trunk: "feel's like a full size sedan". It is an Audi A6, there is only one car in the Audi range larger than this, so it is fair to say that is alredy a rather large car and definatly "full size".
@@jonbrock8306 i dont understand americans in europe a4 is family size sedan and a6 is luxury family sedan and a8 people dont drive only when they have too much money
Most things you say it replies with “cancel”. Either that or it starts rattling off a seemingly endless list of things you CAN say, none of which ever work haha.
Actually when comparing specs the s8 is around 100 lbs heavier which is impressive considering the size difference, options, air suspension etc....the all aluminum construction makes a huge difference in the s8.
@@jonbrock8306 I had another check, turns out the NA and EU versions of the S6 didn't have the same listed weight, and the S8 is listed in between them. (Source: www.automobile-catalog.com)
My friend bought a 07 S8 V10 just yesterday and today here I find a video of a similar car. I got to drive it around for an hour or two in various road conditions and I have to agree with the transmission draining power, and how quiet the car is, not revealing its V10 notes easily. However I found the handling amazing. I was driving uphill so understeer wasn't a problem but along with its aggressive sport mode for the air suspension, the large all wheel drive sedan felt like it has been thrown into the hairpin sideways, feeling like as if the car was hopping on its outer wheels with minimal roll during turn and launches violently as you floor the gas to exit the corner. It just felt so fun and satisfying. My friend's car have some malfunctions in the engine, which I am afraid he must require the engine to be dismounted in order to just access the engine. Everything in the engine bay looked so cramped, not as much as the S6 though.
Exactly my thought when i heard him say that. The badges and the quad exhausts are the only thing that would differentiate the M5 to a 520d with an M-Sport body kit. Most german performance sedans of the time were subtle. Even the maniacs at AMG kept it pretty close to the regular cars.
@@bogdanrus7953 Honestly even the new M5s without the black chrome/carbon fiber packages look pretty subtle compared to the E63s and CTS-V. The only way to really differentiate them is the grille badge, fender vents and quad exhausts.
>be european >v10 under the hood >make it look like a normal car >be asian >underpowered inline 4 cylinder car >make it look like it reaches the speed of light lmao
The understated styling was so cool. My dad had an ‘07 S8 back when it first came out. Got pulled over twice within the first week that he got it, both cops were like “man you were really giving her all she’s got…” oh if they only knew. Hahaha.
Any german car is expensive to maintain if you are paying someone to do the work. Obviously the number of cylinders is directly related to how much things will cost to fix or replace as well.
I own the 2008 S5, naturally aspirated 4.2 V8 in a 6-speed manual. It's in a sparkling-like Sprint Blue. Alcantara + leather seats (in 2008! impressive), and carbon fiber trim with black interior to match. I absolutely love it and won't sell it lol. Have had for about 3 years now. Its a dream to drive! Nothing beats analog.
@@AnontheGOAT it's not unreliable if you don't drive them hard the carbon in the manifold starts to build up and cause misfires that's the only thing that it has going against it....have you ever owned one or just talking
@@tylercouture216 That makes no sense why the fuck would you own a car with a V10 engine and not drive it hard 💀💀💀 that’s like buying a V8 camaro and driving it like a grandma to work, it’s unreliable bro just like Audis in general 😂
@@tylercouture216 Might wanna stop jumping to conclusions my guy. I've owned 4 Audi vehicles, including 2 C6 A6s(same generation as this S6). Go on the Audizine forums and see for yourself wiseguy. They are an absolute trap. Many people were enticed into buying one since they were selling for the equivalent of a camry on the used market but found out the hard way how much upkeep is on a V10 lambo engine stuffed inside a mid size german sedan.
I noticed that Doug is getting closer and closer to 4 million subscribers and I don’t think I’ve ever heard him once say in a video asking for people to like the video and to subscribe to his channel, might be the only UA-camr that doesn’t ask people to do that
The 6 speed manual conversion really wakes this car up, and of course different suspension setup. No big issues with these either. If taken care of not an issue.
Doug, Great review of the S6. I've been a happy owner of a 2008 S6 since 2009. I think you overlooked what has been in my ownership experience an important, very useful "quirk," and that is the fold-down rear seats, which make the trunk space large enough for adults to lay down in, or haul a road bicycle, for example. I haven't seen a comparable newer performance sedan with fold-down rear seats, a feature that I've utilized quite often. Secondly, as you discussed the slower standing start speed, I think it would have been worth mentioning that the all-wheel drive adds roughly 90 lbs. per wheel. So, you're constantly carrying the added weight of approximately two extra Doug DeMuros, give or take, something the M5 or E63 does not. IMO, it is very difficult to find a comparable replacement. I can't justify buying a newer sedan and burning depreciation when my S6 is still such a fine performing car, solid interior as you describe, great leather and seats.
@Sindri Páll Jónsson Americans will hate Diesel engines forever. They associate rolling coal V8 SUVs with Diesel engines. I bet if you put a few Americans in a BMW 540d or Audi S6 Diesel, they would change their mind immediately. Edit: Grammar was a bit off
This was one of the craziest Audi Eras. Lambo V10 S6, Lambo V10 S8, V8 S4 and a DIESEL V12 Q7. Shame we won't see anymore of these crazy vehicle experiments anymore.
its not all that uncommon though.. Chevy put the corvette engine in some of their sedans and dodge did the same thing with the viper engine. so why not audi
@@BarryGGould It’s as silly as to say all V10 Dodge trucks got a Viper engine, when the Viper really got a truck engine. This engine does not come out of a Lambo. Lambo got an engine out of an Audi.
@Eric Aung The Audi V10 is the 90mm spaced Audi V8 TFSI with two more cylinders etc. The Lambo V10 was a 88mm spaced port injection engine with different firing order etc. People seem to have problems grasping this, especially when Lambo started to use the Audi V10.
Picked up one back in September from the original owner, 72k ish miles. Transmission needed a full rebuild which wasn’t disclosed to us prior to buying but absolutely love the car still. The car drives/handles amazing for what it is (LUXURY sport sedan). Will sit at 100mph all day. The only improvement I’d say would be the transmission and not necessarily making it faster. A 7th gear overdrive would go a long way at making the ride even smoother and more efficient.
I had a friend who’s dad drove one of these around back when they were new. An absolute ANIMAL. For 2008, this thing was worlds away from everything else on the road.
Years ago I had the RS6 C6 modded to 700+ bhp. Was a hoot embarrassing 911s on the motorway but all of Doug’s criticisms of the drive are valid. It felt quite inert and front heavy, but I still miss the way it would fly through 250 km/h like it was nothing. I’m a bit surprised he didn’t mention the RS6 as it was in many ways the same but biturbo and flared arches. Went AMG thereafter but new RS6 has me lusting.
I was thinking.. wait a minute doug just sold this car yesterday on cars and bids... then I realized Doug is selling ANOTHER ONE Doug is the KING of the Enthusiast Used Car Market
Doug: "Lambo V10.... Lambo V10..." Also Doug: "This engine isn't really a Lambo V10" This 5.2 was based on the Audi 4.2 V8 FSI. The later 5.2 that was in the Lambo and R8 are the same as this engine, except for stronger internals and a dry sump. The Lambo 5.0 v10 was not the same engine.
The only difference on the internals as far as strength is the split pin vs solid pin in the crankshafts. All other internals in the rotating assembly are identical.
@@jonasthemovie No, I'm comparing the 5.2 with itself. It was used in 5 cars and the internals are the same between all 5 cars other than the crank that used a split pin in the front engine cars and a solid pin in the mid engine cars.
I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do. Interior wood trim is nice, the graphics are kinda neat. But its not too complicated or fussy and its still more car than iPad.
I don't know what it is with Americans with German sedans, who then reiterate the vehicle model via vanity plate. But it is very much a thing. "MYBMWM3" and such. I don't understand why that would ever be a thing, let alone such a common one.
This young guy on my street probably 20 years old, bought one of these things a couple months ago. It looks good. He drove it for a month maybe, and since that time its been sitting in the drive way with the front bumber and face/grill removed. Its been like that atleast a month and a half now. I dont speak to them, he and his dad, but another neighbor i speak to all the time does. He told me that they dont want to pay to have it fixed right now. I forgot what the problem was. I think he mentioned the radiator being included in the problem though. Its crazy because two years ago i watched this same video and became interested in this car but remember reserching it and finding out it had a certain problem once the car reaches a certain milage. So i declined. But when that kid came home with that car i knew instantly what it was even before seeing the v10 and the S6 badge up close just because of the sounds it made. I told my wife i felt bad for the kid and it wasnt even a month before the car was broke down. If you aint mechanically inclined and dont have extra money laying around i would advise not to buy it. Especially, if you're a young guy who doesnt even work for a living yet
Yeah most European cars have issues when they reach a certain mileage, I bought a 328xi bmw right before a few parts went out but nobody knew what the issue was. It takes time for cars like this to get a certain mileage to iron out the bugs, ironically cars with less mileage are more often unreliable than cars with 100k-200k miles in my experience. Even the bmw I got was once looked at as “unreliable” but it ended up being the most reliable engine. You need to do your own work or have somebody that can to save money for repairs and maintenance, they’re specifically designed to be difficult to work on so you have to take it to the dealership but I heard once you take the parts off needed to work on internals it’s easy to work on audis, just a hassle to get the front off

9:00, once again, BMW did this on the e60 and e90, they hid a small ring around the speedometer that had a red line, when you set the cruise, that ring would move to display what you set your cruise to. This was standard on all BMW models with those style gauge clusters, you managed to omit that one from your e60 M5 and your e92 M3 videos.
Seems like old Doug here forgot to mention that this V10 is a faulty engine which has to be taken apart every 30 thousand miles to manually clean the built up carbon. Tyler and Carwizard made videos on this exact car
No cigar , fellas. The bmw and the lancia engines were never fitted to a supercar. They could have been, but they never did. You could argue that the v12 fitted to the old 8 and 7 series was the basis of the mac f1 but even then, it was very much revised and upgraded , the Audi literally had the lambo /r8 lump.
@@dean8367 yes it is, but as a consequence, for 2030 petrol cars all over the world are going to start to get banned and for petrolheads, (me) as the name says, its a sad reality but the world is going to improve so....
But at least it's rewarding if you keep pouring money into it. The newer ones are going to be just as unreliable if not worse. And it's a turbo V6... Those cars will be worthless in 10 years.
I feel like people say stuff like this just to say it. There was a different S6 for sale on carsandbids and the service records were posted, it had 100k+ miles too and it didn't look like a money pit to me. People need to actually do their research on what makes cars like this costlier to keep up rather than regurgitating those tired old tropes about cars like this being money sinks.
@@NikoBell12 own the last production line 09 S8, always drive hard to reduce carbon build up, still to this day I enjoy this beast! Hard to let go, but 1 day it will sadly happen 😞 .
Once I had unique opportunity to drive tuned S8 V10 and it was a MONSTER! The 5-valve injection technology makes the engine exploding with tsunami of power every time pushing throttle just a bit harder…. Acceleration 100-140kph is immediate providing toxically addictive joy of speed. There is about half second delay between throttle move and engine reaction but it is not big deal after getting used to overall machine specifics. Gearbox is fine and shifts reasonably to character of a saloon. This is settled highway cruiser and not race track time-cutter. The owner keeps it since bought it new and proved this engine is thanks to no turbo is most reliable high-performance GTs ever…. Drawbacks? Brakes are very expensive and worn-out like tires do, air suspension is sensitive to irregular maintenance, fuel consumption is insane and don’t dare not to replace oil and filters as prescribed…. But… after profi conversion, this engine is capable to burn propane without any long-term damage if you include valve lubrication unit…. I would pick estate version with panorama roof, upgrading to allroad chassis on HD airbags.

I love my 08 S6 so much more than my E60 M5, Not as fast, Not as aggressive, Not as flashy and “look at me loot at me” But the whole car feels great... Also, If you don’t have $14,000 extra on top of the cost of the car to cover repairs, Don’t buy one.

Sounds accurate. My 4.2 A6 felt kinda sluggish if you were driving around town but half throttle, or even better pedal to the floor so you can press the switch and it would scream. God I loved that car
Talks about the trunk: "feel's like a full size sedan". It is an Audi A6, there is only one car in the Audi range larger than this, so it is fair to say that is alredy a rather large car and definatly "full size".
Yeah rear leg room could have been a bit better though
But I always feel that way about german cars
Isn't it a midsize
More of a midsize. If you wanted full size you would buy the s8 or a8.

So here's a fun fact: the S8 that shared this V10 is actually almost 100 kilos, or about 200 pounds, lighter due to an all-aluminium construction.
Woah, you exposed a motor journalist as being a numpty. World keeps spinning
The S8 version of this engine also makes 15 more HP than the S6 version.
Actually when comparing specs the s8 is around 100 lbs heavier which is impressive considering the size difference, options, air suspension etc....the all aluminum construction makes a huge difference in the s8.

B5 S4 Sedan in Imola Yellow baby!!!!!!
My friend bought a 07 S8 V10 just yesterday and today here I find a video of a similar car. I got to drive it around for an hour or two in various road conditions and I have to agree with the transmission draining power, and how quiet the car is, not revealing its V10 notes easily. However I found the handling amazing. I was driving uphill so understeer wasn't a problem but along with its aggressive sport mode for the air suspension, the large all wheel drive sedan felt like it has been thrown into the hairpin sideways, feeling like as if the car was hopping on its outer wheels with minimal roll during turn and launches violently as you floor the gas to exit the corner. It just felt so fun and satisfying. My friend's car have some malfunctions in the engine, which I am afraid he must require the engine to be dismounted in order to just access the engine. Everything in the engine bay looked so cramped, not as much as the S6 though.
Doug: BMW M's of this era were so showy and weren't subtle at all
Also Doug in his E60 M5 review: This car is so subtle and understated!
Exactly my thought when i heard him say that. The badges and the quad exhausts are the only thing that would differentiate the M5 to a 520d with an M-Sport body kit. Most german performance sedans of the time were subtle. Even the maniacs at AMG kept it pretty close to the regular cars.
@@bogdanrus7953 Honestly even the new M5s without the black chrome/carbon fiber packages look pretty subtle compared to the E63s and CTS-V. The only way to really differentiate them is the grille badge, fender vents and quad exhausts.

The understated styling was so cool. My dad had an ‘07 S8 back when it first came out. Got pulled over twice within the first week that he got it, both cops were like “man you were really giving her all she’s got…” oh if they only knew. Hahaha.
The Car Wizard showed how expensive the service bills are - very scary
you are right,never ever buy this model!
Any german car is expensive to maintain if you are paying someone to do the work. Obviously the number of cylinders is directly related to how much things will cost to fix or replace as well.
I own the 2008 S5, naturally aspirated 4.2 V8 in a 6-speed manual. It's in a sparkling-like Sprint Blue. Alcantara + leather seats (in 2008! impressive), and carbon fiber trim with black interior to match. I absolutely love it and won't sell it lol. Have had for about 3 years now. Its a dream to drive!

@@tylercouture216 Might wanna stop jumping to conclusions my guy. I've owned 4 Audi vehicles, including 2 C6 A6s(same generation as this S6). Go on the Audizine forums and see for yourself wiseguy. They are an absolute trap.

The 6 speed manual conversion really wakes this car up, and of course different suspension setup. No big issues with these either. If taken care of not an issue.
The styling of THIIIIISSSSSSSS car aged better than the infotainment.
can’t tell if that’s a good or bad thing
The infotainment is way better than modern systems imo.
This was the peak of the MMI.
I always liked the styling of this gen of Audi/VW-the Passats from this period were nice looking too.
Doug, Great review of the S6. I've been a happy owner of a 2008 S6 since 2009. I think you overlooked what has been in my ownership experience an important, very useful "quirk," and that is the fold-down rear seats, which make the trunk space large enough for adults to lay down in, or haul a road bicycle, for example. I haven't seen a comparable newer performance sedan with fold-down rear seats, a feature that I've utilized quite often. Secondly, as you discussed the slower standing start speed, I think it would have been worth mentioning that the all-wheel drive adds roughly 90 lbs. per wheel. So, you're constantly carrying the added weight of approximately two extra Doug DeMuros, give or take, something the M5 or E63 does not. IMO, it is very difficult to find a comparable replacement. I can't justify buying a newer sedan and burning depreciation when my S6 is still such a fine performing car, solid interior as you describe, great leather and seats.
The new S6 has a V6, times have really changed.
Even worse, in EU it is a diesel.
@Sindri Páll Jónsson Most of them sound awful.
@Sindri Páll Jónsson Americans will hate Diesel engines forever. They associate rolling coal V8 SUVs with Diesel engines.
I bet if you put a few Americans in a BMW 540d or Audi S6 Diesel, they would change their mind immediately.
Edit: Grammar was a bit off
atleast it has an engine
@@ultraguy8771 how do they manage that diesels usually sound loud and mean atleast my experience living in Ontario where 60% of vehicles are tucks 😂
This was one of the craziest Audi Eras. Lambo V10 S6, Lambo V10 S8, V8 S4 and a DIESEL V12 Q7. Shame we won't see anymore of these crazy vehicle experiments anymore.
The S6 does not have a Lambo V10.
its not all that uncommon though.. Chevy put the corvette engine in some of their sedans and dodge did the same thing with the viper engine. so why not audi
@Eric Aung It’s an Audi V10 that Lambo used to replace their old V10. It’s not a Lambo engine. The S6 got this engine before Lambo started to use it.
@@BarryGGould It’s as silly as to say all V10 Dodge trucks got a Viper engine, when the Viper really got a truck engine. This engine does not come out of a Lambo. Lambo got an engine out of an Audi.
@Eric Aung The Audi V10 is the 90mm spaced Audi V8 TFSI with two more cylinders etc. The Lambo V10 was a 88mm spaced port injection engine with different firing order etc. People seem to have problems grasping this, especially when Lambo started to use the Audi V10.
Picked up one back in September from the original owner, 72k ish miles. Transmission needed a full rebuild which wasn’t disclosed to us prior to buying but absolutely love the car still. The car drives/handles amazing for what it is (LUXURY sport sedan). Will sit at 100mph all day. The only improvement I’d say would be the transmission and not necessarily making it faster. A 7th gear overdrive would go a long way at making the ride even smoother and more efficient.

The replies are golden
I had a friend who’s dad drove one of these around back when they were new. An absolute ANIMAL. For 2008, this thing was worlds away from everything else on the road.
Years ago I had the RS6 C6 modded to 700+ bhp. Was a hoot embarrassing 911s on the motorway but all of Doug’s criticisms of the drive are valid. It felt quite inert and front heavy, but I still miss the way it would fly through 250 km/h like it was nothing. I’m a bit surprised he didn’t mention the RS6 as it was in many ways the same but biturbo and flared arches. Went AMG thereafter but new RS6 has me lusting.
We never got the rs6 in this generation in the US
To be fair tho you would understeer into a tree if you tried to keep up with a 911 around a corner😂

The only difference on the internals as far as strength is the split pin vs solid pin in the crankshafts. All other internals in the rotating assembly are identical.

This young guy on my street probably 20 years old, bought one of these things a couple months ago. It looks good. He drove it for a month maybe, and since that time its been sitting in the drive way with the front bumber and face/grill removed. Its been like that atleast a month and a half now. I dont speak to them, he and his dad, but another neighbor i speak to all the time does. He told me that they dont want to pay to have it fixed right now. I forgot what the problem was. I think he mentioned the radiator being included in the problem though. Its crazy because two years ago i watched this same video and became interested in this car but remember reserching it and finding out it had a certain problem once the car reaches a certain milage. So i declined. But when that kid came home with that car i knew instantly what it was even before seeing the v10 and the S6 badge up close just because of the sounds it made. I told my wife i felt bad for the kid and it wasnt even a month before the car was broke down. If you aint mechanically inclined and dont have extra money laying around i would advise not to buy it. Especially, if you're a young guy who doesnt even work for a living yet
Yeah most European cars have issues when they reach a certain mileage, I bought a 328xi bmw right before a few parts went out but nobody knew what the issue was. It takes time for cars like this to get a certain mileage to iron out the bugs, ironically cars with less mileage are more often unreliable than cars with 100k-200k miles in my experience. Even the bmw I got was once looked at as “unreliable” but it ended up being the most reliable engine. You need to do your own work or have somebody that can to save money for repairs and maintenance, they’re specifically designed to be difficult to work on so you have to take it to the dealership but I heard once you take the parts off needed to work on internals it’s easy to work on audis, just a hassle to get the front off

Once I had unique opportunity to drive tuned S8 V10 and it was a MONSTER! The 5-valve injection technology makes the engine exploding with tsunami of power every time pushing throttle just a bit harder…. Acceleration 100-140kph is immediate providing toxically addictive joy of speed. There is about half second delay between throttle move and engine reaction but it is not big deal after getting used to overall machine specifics. Gearbox is fine and shifts reasonably to character of a saloon. This is settled highway cruiser and not race track time-cutter. The owner keeps it since bought it new and proved this engine is thanks to no turbo is most reliable high-performance GTs ever…. Drawbacks? Brakes are very expensive and worn-out like tires do, air suspension is sensitive to irregular maintenance, fuel consumption is insane and don’t dare not to replace oil and filters as prescribed…. But… after profi conversion, this engine is capable to burn propane without any long-term damage if you include valve lubrication unit…. I would pick estate version with panorama roof, upgrading to allroad chassis on HD airbags.
