Audi S4 Quattro 4.2l 380hp V8 2005 Cabriolet Convertible Rare Sprint Blue Pearl on 2040-cars
Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States
|
It is rare anywhere in the country to see the Audi S4 Convertible featuring Audi's Sprint Blue Pearl exterior to accompany a Black top and Black leather interior with Silver piping. This 2005 model is presented for sale by its 2nd owner after five years of roof-down summer driving on the beautiful roads of Virginia. While the all-wheel drive Quattro offers a chance to take the S4 out in less than ideal weather condition, this vehicle was garage stored and limited to ideal weather conditions, averaging about 8,400 miles per year for me and under 8,000 miles per year for its lifetime.
Overview. This S4 is powered by Audi's powerful 4.2L 380HP dial overhead camshaft, sequential electronic fuel injection V8 engine with two-stage variable valve timing technology. It features a 6-speed TipTronic automatic transmissions with paddles, dynamic shift programming (DSP), and hill detection capability. The Audi Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system features Torsen torque-sensing center differential and Electronic Differential Locks. It rides on 18" x 8" 6-spoke forged alloy wheels. In the trunk, below the storage area, is a full-size spare tire on a matching wheel. The vehicle has a Servotronic close ratio power rack & pinion steering. While its exterior appearance and interior features are outstanding, they are matched by Audi's array of safety features, including the Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) that provides brake assist power four-wheel antilock ventilated disc brakes with electronic brake pressure distribution, drive and front passenger frontal restraint airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side impact airbags, and 3-point seat belts with automatic pretensioners and front seatbelt force limiters. The black soft top retracts via a fully automatic power system linked to the windows and AC/heat system upon opening and closing. The rear window is glass and is heated. The xenon headlamps are housed within aerodynamic 2-way elipsoid projectors that include variable focus reflectors and integrated low/high beam tubes. The headlamps feature automatic self-leveling adjustments and retractable headlight washers. There also is an autoblink feature. Dual fog lights are in the front and a single fog light is in the rear. The power side mirrors are heated and aluminum-coated, with RH Convex. They feature and auto angling system when the vehicle is in reverse. The four-position intermittent windshield wipers include heated washer nozzles. More about the Interior - The leather 12-way power sport front bucket seats include 4-way power lumbar support and electronically adjustable headrests. The seat positions are lockable. The front center armrest is leather. It is foldable and height adjustable; it contains two cup holders. In the rear, the center armrest is leather and folds down. It also contains two cup holders as well as space for a first aid kit (which may also be stored in a side compartment in the trunk). Through the center armrest in the rest, a fully contained holder for skis is accessible. The sport steering wheel is leather wrapped and include the TipTronic paddle controls as well as other functional controls. The shift knob and hand brake level also are leather wrapped. Throughout the interior, this Audi S4 features genuine wood inlays - in the dashboard, center console, door panels, and rear seating area. More about the dashboard console - The instrument panel is backlit in red/white illumination with an automatic brightness control. A full set of exterior, interior, and engine photos will be added shortly to accompany the listing. The fuel tank holds 16.6 gallons. During the five years I have owned the vehicle, I continue to experience highway mileage rates of 24-26 mpg and city mileage rates of 16-18 mpg. The vehicle is smoke-free. We added Audi's premium floor mats for front and back. |

Audi CEO Stadler gets 5-year contract extension
Sat, 17 May 2014Audi CEO Rupert Stadler will keep his seat at the top thanks to a contract extension. Volkswagen didn't divulge the length of the new contract, but German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said the term is five years. Stadler took over the current position in 2007 when current VW CEO Martin Winterkorn left it. That year the brand sold 93,506 in the US and 964,151 in total worldwide; last year it sold 158,061 in the US and 1,575,480 in total worldwide.
Even though the brand has managed only about half the US sales of its two main rivals, it led the charge globally through the first two months of this year. Over the next few years we'll see its US efforts increase with a $30.3-billion investment, 11 new models and the opening of its first North American plant. And right now it can make hay with its World Car of the Year award winner, the A3.
In addition to Stadler, VW sales boss Christian Klingler is said to have received a five-year contract extension, and VW China head Jochem Heizmann has earned another two years on the job.
Audi bringing new TT Roadster to Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The TT may be first and foremost a coupe, but in presenting the third-generation model, Audi has toyed with all sorts of body-styles. There's been the prototypical coupe, of course, but also shooting brake and crossover concepts. The one thing it hasn't shown us is the convertible model, but that ends today as Audi takes the wraps off the new TT Roadster and TTS Roadster.
Set to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show next month, the new TT Roadster naturally follows its fixed-roof counterpart's lead closely, but with the addition of a folding fabric roof mechanism. Made of magnesium, aluminum, steel and plastic, the mechanism weighs 6.6 pounds less than its predecessor's, helping keep the center of gravity lower. It also folds flatter to allow for more luggage space, and can deploy or retract in ten seconds at speeds up to 31 miles per hour. With the roof up it's also quieter, and with a drag coefficient of 0.30, Audi claims it's the slipperiest in the segment.
Of course, Audi's also worked to keep the weight down and rigidity up. As a result, the 0-62 sprint only takes an extra 0.2 seconds, quoted in the TTS Roadster at 4.9 seconds instead of 4.7 in the TTS coupe. Top speed remains pegged at 155 miles per hour. That, of course, is with the top-spec, 310-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four, but Audi will also offer the less potent 184-hp version as well as a 2.0-liter TDI, mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed DCT, though specific performance figures for each version were not disclosed in the press release below.
2016 Audi TT [w/video]
Wed, 10 Sep 2014What came first, the metrosexual or the Audi TT? While it was close, the descriptor-turned-epithet preceded the 1995 concept car by one year. However, they were both notable cultural evolutions and they happened to work together perfectly. Hugh Grant, playing the cad Will Freeman in the 2002 film About a Boy, could not have chosen a better example of character than his silver TT.
A decade later, the original TT was still important enough that when rumors of the third-generation coupe began to surface in late 2012, the most exciting fantasy was that the 2014 coupe might "recapture some of the distinctiveness and impact" of a 16-year-old car (the TT came to market in 1998). Even speculation by dedicated Audi observers thought the brand would do something novel, even if not mimicry. The obvious takeaway: no one was going to be lighting any candles for the departed second generation. All of that is why when the first leaked image slipped onto the Internet, people began to get suspicious. When the third generation took the stage at the Geneva Motor Show, we could almost hear the digital deflation over the Ethernet, our poll results notwithstanding.
Yet it's still the TT, and in spite of having seen its interior and virtual cockpit and clocked its specs, we couldn't judge it before heading to Marbella, Spain to drive it. What we found out was while it's better than the second generation, it's still very much a TT.
