2017 Audi A6 Transmission Ratio
Introduction
The 2017 Audi A6 is a luxury sedan that is available with a variety of engine and transmission options. The transmission ratio is the number of revolutions that the input shaft of the transmission makes for every revolution that the output shaft makes. A higher transmission ratio means that the output shaft will turn slower than the input shaft, which can provide more torque and better fuel economy.

The 2017 Audi A6 is available with the following transmission ratios:
- 2.5 TFSI quattro: 8-speed Tiptronic: 4.718:1
- 3.0 TFSI quattro: 8-speed Tiptronic: 4.718:1
- 3.0 TDI quattro: 8-speed Tiptronic: 4.718:1
- 3.0 TDI quattro: 8-speed Tiptronic: 4.718:1
Final Drive Ratio
The final drive ratio is the number of revolutions that the output shaft of the transmission makes for every revolution that the wheels make. The final drive ratio is typically lower than the transmission ratio, which means that the wheels will turn slower than the output shaft of the transmission. This can provide more torque and better fuel economy.
The 2017 Audi A6 is available with the following final drive ratios:
- 2.5 TFSI quattro: 3.727:1

Overall Gear Ratios
The overall gear ratio is the product of the transmission ratio and the final drive ratio. The overall gear ratio determines the overall speed and torque of the vehicle.
The 2017 Audi A6 has the following overall gear ratios:
- 2.5 TFSI quattro: 17.638:1
- 3.0 TFSI quattro: 17.638:1
- 3.0 TDI quattro: 17.638:1
- 3.0 TDI quattro: 17.638:1
Conclusion
The transmission ratio, final drive ratio, and overall gear ratio are all important factors to consider when choosing a vehicle. The right combination of these ratios can provide the best performance and fuel economy for your needs.
