In 1993, the designers of the Audi company, under the leadership of Peter Schreier, began work on creating a new car, A6, the style of which was to determine the style policy of a huge concern on the threshold of the 21st century. The car had a good legacy of four generations of the previous series, including the famous "hit" of European aero design of the 80s - the Audi 100. And in this sense, the new A6 was doomed in advance to become a classic example of styling when the shape and pattern of "clothes" change, moreover, with a sedan body - a classic from the classics among all types of bodies. Foreseeing the difficulties in finding the image and the plastic key, Schreier gave complete freedom to his stylists, who had to find a spectacular design based on the body volume optimized by aerodynamic research.
