The design of the Audi A6 showcases the aesthetics of technology. With the sportiest proportions in its field, its long engine hood, its low, tight roof line and its distinctive outlines produce a dynamic overall image. The roomy interior of the Audi A6 also reflects the style of the exterior design.


Its most striking element is an inlay that surrounds the driver and front passenger, known as the “wrap-around”. “Design plays the most important role in the decision to buy,” said Head of Design Wolfgang Egger, who is delighted to receive the renowned prize: “Being presented with the red dot award is a credit to our design language and confirms our focus on craftsmanship and precision.”


Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, initiator and CEO of the red dot design award, underscored the high level of quality in the competition: “With their achievements, the award-winners have not only shown extraordinary design quality, but also that design is an integral part of innovative product solutions.”


The world-renowned “red dot award” is presented in three categories: “red dot award: product design”, “red dot award: communication design” and “red dot award: design concept”. This benchmark of quality will be presented on July 2 as part of the traditional red dot gala in the Aalto Theater in Essen.
