The A6 ultra will be leading this charge in the UK.The manufacturer stated that it comes as a result of the ‘single-minded’ pursuit of incredible efficiency while delivering the best possible performance.Prof. Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi board member for development, said: “The latest TDI technology, ultra-efficient transmissions, advanced exhaust aftertreatment \u2013 customers will hardly see anything, but they\u2019ll notice the effects of powerful acceleration and, thanks to extremely low fuel consumption, when paying at the gas station. The Audi ultra models score points with big advantages for everyday operation \u2013 just what customers appreciate.\u201dThe power for the car is provided by a 2.0-litre diesel engine that increases power from the previous unit (177PS) to comply with the incoming EU6 regulations on emissions. The latest version delivers 190PS and torque has increased from 380Nm to 400Nm.Of course, it hasn’t compromised on how it looks either, with the latest version giving all the style and panache we so associate with the iconic brand.Presented in silver, it gives all the style of the standard luxury Audi but the muscle of a more functional car.The LED daylights around the main headlights also make it instantly recognisable as an Audi, whatever the weather or time of day.So how has Audi achieved such an impressive achievement in reducing emissions while keeping the car among the top of its class for speed and power?Dr Stefan Knirsch, Audi head of powertrain development, said: \u201cAn innovative, highly efficient SCR system removes nitrogen oxides from the exhaust. This measure means that the new ultra models will of course meet the future Euro 6 emission standards while achieving lower fuel consumption.\u201dWhile it seems to make sense, it’s difficult to fathom how it works. All we can say is, we’re impressed!"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Sports Performance Prestige Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/sports-performance-prestige-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Audi A6 ultra – No compromise","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/sports-performance-prestige-cars\/audi-a6-ultra-no-compromise\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
