Audi’s C5 series A6 Avant formed the basis for a semi-offroad model in 1999, labeled “Audi allroad quattro”. Compared to the regular A6, the allroad featured an advanced air suspension system, allowing for increased ground clearance; larger wheels with all-terrain tyres, and flared and unpainted bumpers, giving it a distinct appearance and more overall flexibility over varying terrain. As the name “allroad quattro” suggests, Audi’s Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive system was standard equipment for all versions.
The standard adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide 208 mm (8 in) of ground clearance; a low-range mode (an option with manual transmission), absent from other quattro-equipped vehicles, can be selected with the touch of a button. When used together, the two systems made it possible for the allroad to complete an official Land Rover test-course, thus far it is the only car-based SUV that has been proven capable of doing so in testing. Conversely, the air suspension can lower the vehicle down to only 142 mm (6 in) above road level, and simultaneously stiffen the spring and damper rates to provide a sporty driving experience, much like that of the conventional A6 with the sports suspension.
Audi’s 2.7-litre, twin-turbo V6 petrol engine with 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp) and 350 N?m (258 lb?ft) of peak torque was available initially, alongside the 2.5-litre TDI diesel unit with 132 kW (177 hp) and 370 N?m (273 lb?ft) of torque. A variant of the corporate 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine, was made available in 2003, and a less powerful TDI (163 bhp) followed in 2004.
Audi stopped production of the allroad in July 2005. Although the model continued to be available for sale throughout 2006 in Europe, there was no 2006 model year for North America.
With the return of the “allroad” nameplate to North America, in the form of the 2013 A4 allroad quattro, the C5-Platform allroad quattro has begun to take the name “Ur-allroad.” The ‘Ur-‘ is used in the German language, as a prefix to signify ‘ancient’ or ‘early ancestor’ (e.g., great-grandmother is Urgro?mutter), and is used informally by car enthusiasts worldwide to refer to the original Audi Quattro that was produced from 1980 ? 1991 (the “Ur-Quattro”). The use of the term was then extended to the original S4 and S6 models to differentiate them from later models with the same name; and more recently to the C5 allroad models (“Ur-allroad”). bugatti wallpapers, ferrari wallpapers, mercedes wallpapers, Audi A6 wallpapers, rolls royce wallpapers
