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 TT Sportback Concept evolves the five-door breed
Wed, 01 Oct 2014One week after a leaked sketch ran on these very pages, Audi has introduced the latest member of a "potential TT family," according to Audi board member Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg. This is the TT Sportback Concept, a five-door, 400-horsepower version of the brand's stylish sports car and at this point, it looks darn likely to herald the debut of a third body style for Audi's design icon.
Unveiled at the expansive Volkswagen group night celebration ahead of the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the TT Sportback Concept is the most evolved version of a form factor that's seen a slow striptease throughout 2014, first with the Allroad Shooting Brake Concept in Detroit and, more recently, in the Offroad Concept from the Beijing Motor Show.
For Paris, the car being shown by Audi is absent traditional concept car traits like oversized wheels, miniscule mirrors and bizarre interior treatments, giving it a far more production ready appearance than either of the previous TT-based concepts. The exterior, meanwhile, is clearly reminiscent of the third-generation car (that roofline is pure TT), although there are a number of styling decisions that remind us of the compact A3, particularly in regards to the taillights.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
