2005 Audi A6 4.2 Road Test
I have always had a penchant for large, powerful sedans that push the thresholds of luxury and performance to new benchmarks. The first generation (1991-1996) Infiniti Q45 did just that more than a decade ago. Through the years, I have been fortunate enough to own two such Q45s and I miss them dearly. Twisting the key in Audi's redesigned 2005 A6 brought those wonderful memories flooding back. There it was, the heavily muted, yet unmistakably deep, gentle exhaust note that only a powerful V8 can produce - a five valve-per-cylinder, 4.2-liter DOHC V8 to be exact.
