Audi A6 wins best production vehicle design in Detroit
Audi and more specifically the Audi A6 were presented with the prestigious EyesOne design award. The award was handed out at the Detroit Motor Show and recognizes the best of automotive design. Not surprisingly, this is the 4th time that Audi has been presented with this award, with previous winners including: The New A8, the R8 V10 and the Audi Sportback Concept.

The head of exterior design at Audi; Achim Badstuebner was humble in accepting the award and mentioned: “This is strong feedback that we have done our homework”. Audi note that much of the body of the A6 is made from aluminum and high-tech steels which results in a very light vehicle that is also very safe. They continue to mention how this design also helps to maintain very low interior noise levels.

Other finalists for the 2011 EyesOn production car design award include: The Bentley Continental GT, the BMW 6-Series Convertible and the Hyundai Veloster. The new Audi A6 goes on sale in the states later this year, with a local release date, hopefully, not too long after.
