Default S6 Seats into an A6?

I was wondering if anybody had ever done this on a C7? I drove a number of them today and the car is great, but the seats are not like the sport seats I am used to in most of my cars - too much like barcoloungers. Ideas on replacements other than an S6? Thanks.

I'd love to see Audi of America include better seats in a sport package like they do for the A4 and the sport interior package for the Q5. The C7's non-S6 seats have absolutely no thigh support even for my not so tall 6'2" frame.

In Europe Audi offer S-Line spec which includes Sports Seats. You could see if there is a set of seats available on german ebay and then get them shipped, or see if your dealer can order them from the factory for you. You will need the rear seats as well as the design of the facings are different and the front and rear seats would not match

There's a white 2014 S6 at my local dealer sitting in the blazing sun with bird crap all over the hood/bonnet. Brand new with the no cost optional bird carp I guess. The seats looked great through the window.

Can't afford a 2013 S6 and don't need the gas bill for a 2010 V-10 when at altitude the 3.0t C7 is damn near as good, if not better.

If you discount the engine (which, by itself, is a might fine reason to choose an S6), the S6 also offers (as exclusives):
  • DSG
  • Active sport diff
  • Air suspension
  • Better brakes
  • Much better seats

It is too bad that some of these options aren't offered a la carte on the standard A6 (as they are in Europe). It is what it is, unfortunately, and the aggregate of all the upgrades made me swing for the ludicrously-powered S6. Lightly-used S6s are popping up for the same or less as a base 3.0T. C'mon - join the dark side.

Suspect when A6 gets the facelift the S line sport seats will make its way.

I wish A6 has DSG and rear sport diff as la carte options. It really transforms the driving dynamics.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the sports seats. Audi didn't include the sports seats in the C6 refresh.
