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.

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe RUF RCT Evo sold for $661,500

For more than 47 years, the German company Ruf Automobile has been turning Porsche models into exceptional creations that fetch high prices at auctions. One example, a 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe RUF RCT Evo, recently sold for $661,500.

This RUF RCT Evo was completed in 2024 in Linden Green color. It started life as a Carrera 2, but during construction the tuner used a Porsche 964 chassis. The car is equipped with a sunroof, headlight washers, fog lamps, RUF badging, blue-lens reverse lights, a rear wiper, fixed spoiler, strut brace, front and rear anti-roll bars, and adjustable Bilstein coilovers at each corner.

Inside, the front bucket seats are re-trimmed in tan leather that also covers the door panels and rear jump seats, while black leather covers the dashboard. Additional equipment includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, a heated rear window, cruise control, automatic climate control, black carpets, and a Porsche Classic head unit with navigation. In front of the driver is a three-spoke RUF steering wheel and a six-digit odometer showing 34,218 miles.

When it comes to the powertrain, the RUF RCT Evo is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine with 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a RUF five-speed manual transmission. The car is mounted on a set of silver 18″ RUF five-spoke wheels wrapped in 225/40 front and 265/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, while anti-lock brakes with body-color Brembo calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated four-wheel discs are responsible for safe braking and stopping.

The Carfax report shows damage history prior to the completion of the build including “minor” damage to the right front in November 2016 as well as “minor to moderate” damage to the front and left rear in March 2019.

Unique 2014 Pagani Huayra Oceano Pacifico is for sale

Between 2011 and 2018, Pagani produced 100 units of the Huayra sports car, and the fact that it was named Hypercar of the Year in 2012 speaks volumes about what kind of car it is. One example with US specifications, the 2014 Pagani Huayra Oceano Pacifico is for sale.

This car was specially built for a client in California, and is finished in a combination of Blu Francia Metallic and Bianco Fabriano. It features a carbon monocoque, gullwing doors, quad bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, adjustable Öhlins coilover shock absorbers with a movable rod, and tan leather front and rear clamshell retaining straps. Exposed carbon fiber in Blu Tricolore is on the nose, roof and deck lid, while the leaf-shaped side mirrors have tricolor accents. Front and rear, a pair of control flaps combine with a hydropneumatic active front lift system and ECU and ABS data to optimize aerodynamic efficiency and stability. The car is also equipped with the Tempesta package, which includes a replacement front splitter and rear diffuser.

The interior is covered in Ocra leather with Blu Ossido Alcantara details. There are also carbon-fiber-backed bucket seats with height adjustment as well as a host of exposed carbon fiber details in Blu Tricolore. In front of the driver is a flat-bottomed carbon-fiber steering wheel trimmed in Ocra leather with paddle shifters as well as hub-mounted controls for the lighting and windshield wiper, while the digital odometer shows less than 2,000 miles. Additional equipment includes a black-finished shifter with exposed linkage, power windows, automatic climate control, a Sonus Faber sound system, a touchscreen infotainment system housed in a black-finished upper console panel, and quilted floor mats.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Huayra Oceano Pacifico is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0L Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 paired with an Xtrac transverse seven-speed automated manual transaxle with a single clutch that sends power to the rear wheels. The engine is equipped with a pair of twin-scroll turbochargers, air-to-liquid intercoolers, dry-sump lubrication, an oil/water heat exchanger, two spark plugs per cylinder, and a Bosch ECU. It also features a Tempesta-spec titanium exhaust system, finned intercooler covers, a two-stage fuel delivery system with dual pumps and an 85-liter tank, dual intercooler radiators flanking two canted engine radiators in the nose panel.

The car comes with a set of staggered-diameter gold-finished wheels, factory extras, and a clean Montana title. The auction ends on February 13th and the highest bid at the time of writing was USD $2,000,000.
