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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla seeks Gigafactory architect, Uber hails carpools
Thu, Aug 7 2014Tesla 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 builds 5-millionth vehicle with Quattro
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Quattro, the trademark name Audi has put on its all-wheel-drive system engineered for passenger vehicles, recently celebrated its five-millionth installation. The driveline has been offered in more than 140 different vehicles since its introduction more than three decades ago.
The all-wheel-drive technology made its world debut at the 1980 International Geneva Motor Show, beneath the floorpan of the Quattro Coupé, a low-volume two-door. It didn't take consumers long to embrace Audi's innovative approach. While most four-wheel-drive systems at that time utilized heavy transfer cases or second cardan shafts, Quattro was virtually tension-free, light, compact and efficient. Most importantly, enthusiasts found it was especially suitable for sports cars.
Today, the automaker offers Quattro on its full line of passenger vehicles and it is unquestionably successful (the technology enjoyed a 43 percent take rate in 2012). On models with transverse-mounted engines (A3 and TT), Audi uses an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch with hydraulic actuator. Under normal conditions, the clutch sends power almost exclusively to the front wheels (if wheel slippage occurs, up to 100 percent of the torque may be sent to the rear). Vehicles with transverse-mounted engines (A4, A5, Q5, etc...) use a self-locking center differential sending 40 percent of the engine torque to the front axle and 60 percent to the rear under normal conditions (it is able to send the majority of the power to the axle with better traction when needed). The highest-performing Quattro systems use torque vectoring to further improve cornering grip and speeds.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
