Fully Customized Drive-ready Audi A4 Showcar on 2040-cars

As you can see, it has
been thoroughly yet tastefully customized in Cali high end car tradition for
show purposes and driveable on the streets. Almost no part of this project left
untouched. It turns heads wherever it goes, even here in SoCal where you need
to put in work to get noticed. It was
built with the utmost attention to detail for SoCal car shows. This project took home Best In Class Audi in
its first show (represented by all the major car crews) and was featured in Car
Audio and Electronics when it was in circulation. Most cars featured in Car
Audio have the best audio system builds but minimal emphasis on non-audio
modification aesthetics. This one struck
a balance of the 2 so even when you can't see it, you'll hear it. Any mod-enthusiast knows that trial and error
goes into a build like this and painstaking attention to detail was exercised
to get everything to fit together in form and function, resulting in this one
of a kind project/customized car. $47K
was invested into the project (would have paid $70k if I didn't get hooked up
knowing the manager) at one of if not THE premier shop for custom autobody work
in SoCal.
This car has been garaged with minimal
driving after its first show and 2 magazine shoots. Since it was built mainly for show purposes
and that the 2.8L 12V B5’s had few engine mod aftermarket parts, the
engine/drivetrain has basic mods only and is an open canvas for someone who
wants to own this car and build the ultimate Audi showcar with show and
go. I was going to install a PES
Supercharger, which is compatible with this engine but other priorities took
over before I committed. It is also fine
the way it is for someone who wants to drive a show-ready car. Due to family and work,I can’t devote the
time to continue showing/promoting it. I
know that making the money back NEVER happens, even if I part it out. Because of that I chose not to tear it up
even if I can get a little more for it, with the idea that someone will enjoy
the product or continue the project. If
you are more than half serious about this, don't hesitate contacting me with
questions. Engine/Performance

Audi's Connected Mobility Concept W/ Electric Longboard | Autoblog Minute
Tue, Apr 26 2016Audi debuted its Connected Mobility Concept at the 2016 Beijing Motor show. The concept is based on the Audi Q3 production model.
2016 Audi S6 and S7 First Drive
Mon, Jun 15 2015Audi paired the S6 and S7 for the purposes of this test in Southern California, but these are rather disparate cars. A three-box sedan, even a sporty one like this S6, is for a specific kind of customer. A sleek, four-door hatchback like the S7, on the other hand, is for a different kind of person. These two people might not be as different as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but at the very least the S7 is the S6's lothario neighbor – the one who's always got a glass of scotch in one hand and a chambermaid in the other. A day spent in the canyons around Los Angeles proves there's a big difference between these cars. First, though, let's discuss their similarities. The S6 and the S7 get the same design overhaul we detailed in our piece on the 2016 Audi A6, namely the edge work done on the grille, bumpers, headlights, and taillights. Additionally, they get Audi's new MMI system – the brand's next step in infotainment. A day spent in the canyons proves there's a big difference between these cars. Changes exclusive to these S models include flat-bottomed steering wheels with model badges at the base of the center spoke, and aluminum-finish shift paddles. The pedals and footrest get the aluminum look as well. There's also a new shift lever, and a revised design for the Quattro badge. New seat and surface treatments join the options list, such as Beaufort Walnut inlays and Valcona leather seats in Cedar Brown. The S7 has a new Arras Red interior option as part of its design selection palette, but the striking addition there is the carbon fiber inlay it comes with, which is interwoven with a red thread. You lean in really, really close and see that scarlet yarn, and the cockpit immediately feels more special. It's the kind of beautiful subtlety you expect from Audi, and the result is a scrumptious cabin. The twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V8 gets 30 more horses, topping out at 450 horsepower. Torque remains the same at 406-pound-feet, but fuel economy increases ever so slightly to 18 miles per gallon in the city, 27 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The S6 makes a meal of curves, but it does give away a hint of the effort. It seems that a fair number of buyers wanted S vehicles without the whole suite of go-fast bits; they liked having the "S" on their chests, they didn't need all of the superpowers. Thus, Audi took the Quattro sport differential and dynamic steering off the standard menu, and bundled it with the sport exhaust to create the now-optional Sport Package.
Audi entices enthusiasts with manual option for the 2017 A4
Thu, Sep 22 2016When we first drove the 2016 Audi A4, newly redesigned although cosmetically very similar to its predecessor, much was improved but there was no hint of a manual transmission option. For the 2016 model year, you could have any gearbox you wanted as long as it was a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. For some reason, despite low take rates for manual gearboxes across the board, Audi is stepping up for enthusiasts and offering a six-speed manual. Equally auspicious is the fact that this manual won't be resigned to some non-enthusiast variant, like the front-wheel drive model. The six-speed will be exclusively offered in the Quattro all-wheel drive version with the 252-horsepower version of the 2.0-liter TFSI engine, rather than the 190-hp Ultra variant which utilizes the Miller cycle and is more fuel-economy oriented. There's also an available Sport Plus package that's exclusive to the manual model that adds some previously S4-exclusive bits to the mix, which is further catnip to Audi gearheads. Those S4-derived parts are dynamic steering and sport adaptive suspension, which drops the ride height a bit, too. The rest of the Sport Plus package includes a sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel, 18-inch split-spoke wheels, available Daytona Grey paint, sport seats, and some brushed aluminum interior trim. Best of all, the manual is a no-cost option, and so prices for each trim are the same across the line. In the entry-level Premium trim, the 2017 A4 manual will start at $40,350 and goes on sale this fall.
