1995.5 Audi S6

Like the C3 chassis that predated it, the C4 went through numerous changes seemingly every year – giving each individual model year something special for fans to covet. 1994 to 1995 saw some major changes for the C4; the most obvious being the model designation change from S4 (1991-1994) to S6 (1995-1997). European models had some additional drivetrain options that weren’t available in the U.S., and indeed the Avant had previously been available in S4 form, but the 2.2 liter turbocharged inline-5 carried over largely unchanged into 1995. The big news was the addition of the Avant to the U.S. lineup; at the time, as expensive as an Audi got here. There was also the obvious external refresh; smooth body-colored bumpers and wider side trims eliminated the rubberized black moldings. The hood and lights were lightly re-sculpted too, along with the change (rolling, for some models) from the Fuchs-made 5-spoke alloys to the Speedline-made 6-spoke Avus wheels which would be the signature S-wheel for the next decade.

Gone were two staples of the Audi lineup from the 1980s – Procon 10, the seatbelt pre-tensioning safety system Audi highly marketed in the late 1990s disappeared with little fanfare, but also, perhaps more strikingly, S cars would no longer be branded with “quattro” badges – a change that would carry on nearly until today’s models, where models like the RS7 re-introduced it in the grill. Inside minor changes were introduced; a revised dashboard, shift knob, along with the introduction of the most notable item (once again, rolling) with a 3-spoke sport steering wheel. It was a tremendous amount of minor fiddling that in sum resulted in a slightly different feel for the S6; slightly more polished and grown up, carrying the new design language for Audi that would remain for the next decade.

Audi wasn’t done, though, because in “1995.5” Audi once again altered several items on the then-still-new S6. This included a major switch moving forward – the elimination of driver control of the rear differential, a hallmark of Audis since the introduction of the original Quattro. Audi opted for an “electronic differential lock”, which in reality was a system which utilized the ABS system to detect wheelspin and apply the brakes. This major change resulted in some minor interior tweaks, such as moving the cigarette lighter, and there were additional revisions to the radio. The transmission’s traditional weak first gear was also addressed, as well as swapping infrared locking for radio frequency and some other minor trim. All of these changes – some of them running – give the limited production S6s a bit of a bespoke feel. With numbers produced only in the hundreds, these are special and coveted cars that are very capable – and highly sought:

This is my personal vehicle that I purchased in 2017 from a fellow Audi enthusiast. I have done extensive repairs during my ownership, and the car is ready to drive anywhere. Modifications, maintenance, and known issues are listed here. Per correspondence from Audi USA on January 5th, 2018, this vehicle is one of nine 1995 Audi S6s in this color/interior combination, and one of 11 total imported to the US in Casablanca white. The car comes with owners manuals, two keys with working remotes, maintenance and repair records from me and some records from the prior owners dating back to 2007. I have listed everything I can think of below, I’m sure there are more features and modifications I’m missing. All major power and electrical functions are working, except as noted below. If you have questions about something specific, please ask. I welcome and encourage pre-purchase inspection, please contact me to make arrangements.

Beyond the limited nature of this package, there’s the ultra-rare color combination. LY9G Casablanca White is very rare as noted by the seller, and while it’ll quickly be mistaken for the much more common Pearlescent White Metallic, enthusiasts in the know will spot the difference. This one has a lot of subtle upgrades; the rear Euro lights are a great look and the 17″ Ronal-made C5 S6 wheels keep the proper offset and look while going plus one. The MTM chipset, EFI Express and 034 bits help to generate more go while the Porsche brake upgrade ups the whoa. The seller is clearly an enthusiast and has thoroughly documented the work performed. It’s got some minor character flaws, but in all this is a very tidy sedan that should be a fun driver.

Unlike the M5 and E500E, values on these cars still haven’t taken off though in the right guise they’re certainly their equal in terms of performance. Bids have been quiet so far on this example and the reserve is unmet at time of writing, but still this car’s sale price will only be a fraction of the more illustrious German names while offering you as much distinction, that fantastic turbocharged inline-5 soundtrack and enough woosh to plant you and your passengers firmly in their seatbacks.
