The V8 engine used in the Audi A6 has a smooth running and enables the vehicle to post 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 7.1 seconds.

We can now add the 2012 (or 2011, depending on your market) Audi A6 sedan to the long list of leaked reveals as the first pictures of the Ingolstadt's executive mid-sizer have surfaced on the Dutch car site Autoblog.nl. We’ll soon bring you a full plate of info on the all-new A6 sedan, but for now, you can check the full image gallery after the jump.

Being based on the more upscale A7 Sportback, it comes to no surprise that the new A6 looks like a sedan version of the first with a less curvalicious roofline and a more mundane rear-end that brings to mind the smaller A4 sedan. The similarities are far more evident in the interior as with a few exceptions aside such as the door panel detailing, the A6's cabin is identical to the A7 Sportback.

We don't have the mechanical details in our hands yet, but the engine lineup will include the usual suspects such as a supercharged 300-horsepower 3.0-liter TFSI and 3.0 liter V6 TDIs, with a more potent 'S' model and possibly an 'RS' variant to follow down the line.
