Every time I think CarMax is getting out of the exotic engine cars with V-10’s and V-12’s they surprise me. Here’s a 2011 Audi S6 unicorn with the Lamborghini Gallardo derived (and detuned) V-10 engine. It’s the one and only reason to buy this car, and a good one. I’ve driven one – turn off the Bose stereo, open the windows and sunroof, and take in the roar. It’s only 435hp. It only does 0-60 in the low to mid fives. It’s nose heavy. Yeah it has decent electronics, and big brakes, and plenty of room – pretty much like the 3.0 liter A6 that gets way better mileage and is almost as quick – but as I understand it from Audi aficionados, there were less than 400 2011 S6’s imported into the US. That’s obscure.
This three-owner 2011 S6 started in North Carolina as a brand new $80,000 car, and made its way west to Missouri and is now in Nevada currently at $25,998 and needs a new home. This was the last year for the V-10 S6’s before Audi transitioned to V-8’s. Here’s a review from back in the day that pretty accurately describes the car. As always, I highly recommend the bulletproof bumper-to-bumper MaxCare warranty to protect yourself from unexpected and tragically hire repair bills for exotic Euro-engines. I know – CarMax covered over $35,000 in repairs to my Mercedes S55. Find this 2011 Audi S6 here in Reno, Las Vegas – if the link is broken the car is sold, on hold, or being transferred.
