2011 Audi A4 Premium Plus on 2040-cars

Year:2011 Mileage:29800 Color: styling elements
Location:

Up for sale is my own personal fully loaded 2011 Audi A4 Premium Plus Quattro! Two owners appear but I can explain why. This beauty is powered by the 2.0L TFSI engine with the 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission to cruise down the open road while listening to the optional incredible Bang & Olufsen premium sound system,  all while remaining glued to the road with the Quattro all-wheel drive system. She's also fully loaded with the Audi GPS navigation system and the EXTREMELY RARE Titanium Sport package!

The EXTREMELY RARE Titanium Sport package includes 19" Titanium-optic wheels with high performance tires, black exterior styling elements (window trim, front grille, etc), sport front seats with lumbar, sport suspension, three-spoke sport steering wheel, paddle shifters, Piano Black decorative interior trim as well as a completely black headliner! This beauty has a Brilliant Black exterior, Black Leather interior along with the Titanium Sport Package, making this fine example an EXTREMELY RARE combo that is nearly impossible to find! I searched for this combo for months, before I ultimately custom ordered this vehicle through Audi with a 6-month wait time. As you can see from the pictures below, it was WELL worth it - just look at her! Per my understanding, the Titanium Sport package was ONLY offered on the 2011 model year Audi A4's and will not be offered in the near future. What a rare combo!

This vehicle is in nearly mint condition inside and out. The exterior is in nearly mint condition with no dents, dings, or scratches with the exception of a couple (2-3) normal very tiny road chips on the hood, as seen in the photos. Please note that the mark that you see on the driver-side lower front bumper is only a bug splatter - I did not see it until I took all the pictures! There has been absolutely ZERO accidents or fender-benders with this car! I have always babied this car and even gotten a full exterior paint correction done, which means that most of the light "swirl marks" and "orange peel" that you can see in the paint from the factory has been removed and buffed out to a mirror shine. This car has never been to a car wash as I wash the car myself using a full touchless system - I cover the car in a thick soapy foam using a "foam lance" and then rinse the car down with fully deionized water (which does not leave any water spots behind, as all minerals are removed), and then let air dry without using any towels or chamois to dry it. Yes, I'm obsessive! In addition, this car has never had any type of aftermarket power tuners or chips installed nor any other modifications done to it.

This car has black leather interior and is in absolutely mint condition, with no rips, tears, scuffs or stains. Nobody in our family is a smoker and the car has NEVER been smoked in, and the interior has remained completely pet-free. The black leather is absolutely beautiful and compliments the deeply rich Brilliant Black exterior, making a stunning combo! It's equipped with the optional 14-speaker, 505 digitally amplified watt Bang & Olufsen premium sound system which sounds absolutely incredible! It's also equipped with the Audi MMI GPS Navigation plus package that equips it with a 7" full-color LCD screen and MMI control logic, which is powered by a 40-GB hard drive and an NVIDIA processor to enhance graphics, and it's even equipped with the optional Sirius Satellite radio with live traffic - this navigation system will blow your mind!

The vehicle is still covered under the remainder 50,000 mile Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty, so there are many years of time left for complete peace of mind! It absolutely pains me to sell this vehicle, but as I'm nearing 60 years old with unexpected personal health issues popping up, she unfortunately has to go to a new, caring home. I paid cash for this vehicle so I have the title in hand with NO liens or leases against the title. She's ready for you to buy and start enjoying!
If you'd like to have the car shipped to you, I would be more than happy to help you with arranging the shipping.
The vehicle may have slightly more mileage than listed as I still drive the car very occasionally.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla seeks Gigafactory architect, Uber hails carpools

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Tesla is looking for an architect to help design its proposed Gigafactory battery manufacturing facility. According to the Palo Alto-based job listing, which is titled "Architect - Gigafactory," the applicant must have, among other qualifications, over five years of experience with "high-tech infrastructure and operational facilities (semiconductor, solar, battery, waste water treatment plants, etc.)." The job also includes being away from home quite a bit, as it the listing states, "This full time role requires the flexibility of traveling when needed (up to 70 percent) and doing whatever it takes to achieve project objectives." Think you've got what it takes? See the listing for yourself, here, or read more at Silicon Valley Business Journal. Tesla has appointed Robyn Denholm of Juniper Networks to its board of directors. Denholm is Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Operations Officer at Juniper Networks. Denholm replaces Brad Buss as chair of Tesla's Audit Committee and a member of the company's Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees. Buss will remain a member of Tesla's board as he joins SolarCity as CFO. Denholm is Tesla's first female director. Read more at Bloomberg, or in the press release below. Uber, the company behind the now famous ride-hailing app, is introducing its carpooling service, UberPool. The service matches drivers with (hopefully multiple) passengers going to similar destinations, with users paying just a fraction of the cost of a normal taxi, or even an Uber ride. If a rider can't get matched with a driver, they can enjoy a discounted Uber ride. As the company points out in its blog, "At these price points, Uber really is cost-competitive with owning a car, which is a game-changer for consumers." UberPool is currently running a private beta program, which it plans to expand on August 15. Read more in-depth about the UberPool at Forbes, or learn more at Uber's blog. For a few reasons why this new expansion might run afoul of archaic laws (put there to keep entrenched interests in play), check out Engadget. Plug-in hybrids are encouraging an evolution of transmission technology. Companies like Schaeffler and ZF Friedrichshafen are adapting their transmissions to include electric motors within them for use in plug-in hybrids. For example, the electric motor in ZF's eight-speed powers the transmission when the internal combustion engine is shut off.

Audi S3 Cabriolet spotted in the world for the first time

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Spy photographers have finally managed to lay a lens on the upcoming Audi S3 Cabriolet. The new convertible stepped out into the light of day for a little winter testing, and from the looks of things, the model will borrow plenty of design cues from the larger A5. Not that we're complaining. Word has it the S3 will put around 300 horsepower to the pavement via a quattro all-wheel drive system. We've also heard the machine will boast a dual-clutch transmission once it bows.
We've long been fans of the S3 Sportback, and the S5 holds a special place in our hearts as well. A smaller, lighter version of the big cabriolet with all of the aggressive proportions of its larger brother should prove to be a welcome addition to the Audi stable. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available, and be sure to check out the full gallery for a closer look.

BMW says SUVs killed the sports car market

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

In many ways, we're living in a golden age of automotive performance. After all, it's possible to show up at a Dodge dealer, hand over about $60,000 and storm away with a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. Or for those who prefer a touch more luxury, the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and latest Cadillac ATS-V offer between 425 and 503 horsepower, depending on your pick, with a bit more poshness. However, none of these powerful vehicles fit the classic definition of a two-place, droptop sports car, and according BMW head of sales Ian Robertson, that's because the segment is very much in the doldrums.
According to Robertson, two factors seriously wounded the classic sports car market. First, the global economic crisis of a few years ago put a serious hurt on sales, according to Bloomberg. Further worsening the situation, the boom in popularity of luxury SUVs and crossovers in the past few years hasn't allowed for much recovery. Even car-hungry China hasn't helped much because of the smog in many cities and preference among some of the very rich there to be chauffeured.
Combined, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK sales peaked around 114,000 units a year in 2007, but they are only expected to reach 72,000 annually by the end of the decade. Robertson is pretty pessimistic about the market's comeback too. "Post-2008, it just collapsed. I'm not so sure it'll ever fully recover," he said to Bloomberg.
