2002 Audi RS4 Avant sold for $175,000

Leave a comment

Between 1999 and 2001, Audi produced the B5 version of the RS4, and 6,030 units rolled off the production lines. One of these, a 2002 Audi RS4 Avant, recently sold at auction for $175,000.

The car was imported to the United States as new and modified to meet local regulations. It is finished in Avus Silver Pearl Effect and is in very good condition. Compared to the S4 station wagon on which it is based, the RS4 has widened wheel arches along with revised bumper covers, grilles, doors, side skirts, roof rails, a rear wiper, and twin exhaust outlets. Interestingly, Audi never offered this version in the United States.

Inside, heated and electrically adjustable Recaro sports seats are upholstered in black leather with debossed RS4 logos on the backrests. In front of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a digital odometer showing 11,242 kilometers (~7k miles). Additional equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, a Bose sound system, and an Audi Symphony CD/cassette stereo linked to a six-disc CD changer that is mounted in the rear cargo area.

Under the hood is a 2.7-L V6 engine that, thanks to two Borg Warner K04 turbochargers, has 375 hp (280 kW) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) of torque, which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds with an electronically limited speed of 250 km/h. Power is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle and a Quattro all-wheel drive system with a Torsen center differential.

2026 Audi e-tron GT

After the previously revealed Audi e-tron GT S and e-tron GT RS, the German manufacturer has introduced a new edition of the all-electric e-tron GT, as a response to the Porsche Taycan.

At first glance, it seems that Audi has decided not to change much because the new e-tron GT shares a lot with its previous models. What the company has tried to improve is to increase the power of the two electric motors, which now deliver a respectable 503 hp and 590 Nm of torque. With launch control activated, the power increases to 585 hp. This is enough for the 2,254 kg e-tron GT (30 kg lighter than the e-tron GT S) to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 245 km/h.

The car is equipped with a 97.0 kWh lithium-ion battery that allows a range of up to 622 kilometers (WLTP). The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes on powerful superfast chargers (320 kW), and a ten-minute charge will provide a range of up to 285 kilometers.

Speaking of price, the Audi e-tron GT will cost 108,900 euros in Germany, which is more affordable than the Porsche Taycan 4, which costs 107,300 euros.

Restomod Audi Ur-Quattro by ABT Sportsline

In the 1980s, Audi produced the Ur-Quattro racing car, which was the first rally car to take advantage of the new rules that allowed the use of four-wheel drive in competition racing. Now, German company ABT Sportsline has decided to pay tribute to the car, with a restomod that will be produced in just 30 units.

The car was unveiled at the “Friends of ABT” event, and company CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt said that this car has a special place in his life. After taking over the position of the company’s first man from his father, Hans-Jürgen was given this car and he decided to leave his mark on it. He decided to redesign the car, which included changing the front end, and installing wide fenders, new bumpers, a hood with air vents and a large rear wing all made of Kevlar and carbon. Also, the headlights from the Sport model and magnesium wheels were added.

To make each car special, ABT decided to equip each one with a unique chassis, and owners will be able to register them in Germany with special H license plates. Buyers will also be able to personalize the car’s interior with the ABT Individual program.

Under the bonnet is a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder turbocharged engine with 532 hp. That’s far more power than the original model, which only had 200 hp, or the Sport Quattro model with 306 hp.

There is a lot of interest in this car, and the company announced that they sold 25 units in the three hours after the presentation. The price is not known.
