00:00You can tell by the first look that it has gorgeous proportions,
00:03it's very extended and the architecture is this of a typical Audi sedan.
00:12This A6 is very business-oriented.
00:18It has this arc, we call it the Audi bow, which is part of our history,
00:24and this flows into the trunk lid giving a very prestigious feel to the rear end.
00:30The overall proportion is what is important to this prestigious segment.
00:39You have the big wheels sitting below these wide muscles, you have the long wheelbase, the stretched hood.
00:48Designing the front, we always start with the single frame.
00:52It's growing in height, we have the rings sitting between the body color and the single frame,
00:58and on top we have the lights slightly above.
01:02We have big clean surfaces that together with the vertical air curtains are making the aerodynamics so good.
01:10The rear is unique, with the light signatures sitting at the top, and then all the functions at the bottom,
01:22with the light strip very long, and then the vertical brake lights.
01:30Designing this car, we used a holistic approach to everything we did.
01:34We reduced to the minimum lines and details.
01:41What makes the A6 sedan so special is the aerodynamic.
01:45We spent a lot of time designing those surfaces, and this crisp line on top of the rings,
01:51that achieved an outstanding performance.
01:54We spent a lot of time designing those surfaces, and this is the new A6 sedan.
02:03My name is Francesco Damore.
02:05I'm exterior designer at Audi, and this is the new A6 sedan.
