Much like us girls who constantly want to weigh less (we’re never happy, are we?), car designers want their cars to shed weight – because lighter cars are generally more efficient. And, in the case of the new Audi A6, the designers have done an astounding job – they have shed 80 kilograms. This is largely thanks to the generous use of aluminium – which is strong yet light. The headlights are also worth a mention – in typical Audi fashion, they’re technical works of art. So is the alluring interior.
