Buckle up, because you're about to experience the Audi S6, one of the fastest sedans in the world. Besides its muscular performance, it's bristling with the latest car tech, so advanced that it gives you a hint of what's to come in the future of self-driving cars.

Audi lent us this car for a week, giving us a close-up look at the most advanced technology available in cars, circa mid-2013. The option-packed Audi S6 we tested ($87,720) is not the most expensive car from this upscale German automaker, but it's high enough on Audi's hierarchy to show off the tremendous power and astonishing technology of today's best cars. Read more…

Both will use Logitech's new Harmony Hub, which makes it easier to access your devices — even behind closed cabinet doors. The hub receives commands via Wi-Fi and RF, and uses Bluetooth to send those commands to your game consoles such as Nintendo's Wii U and Sony's Playstation 3.
