Early next year, Audi will begin the production of the A6 hybrid, its second hybrid model after the Q5 hybrid quattro. The Audi A6 hybrid 2012 employs an efficient parallel hybrid concept: Its combustion engine, a 155 kW (211 hp) 2.0 TFSI, works together with an electric motor that delivers 33 kW (45 hp) and 211 Nm (155.63 lb-ft) of torque. The electric motor sits directly behind the TFSI, occupying the space of the torque converter upstream of the modified 8-speed tiptronic.
