Audi Club Auction Watch: 04.16.2026
Words: Steve Johnson
Greetings Audi aficionados! Thank you for clicking on another Auction Watch where we’ve done the internet searching for you. We’ve checked multiple online car auction sites looking for Audi models worthy of your bids. Typically each Thursday we post those listings calling out a car’s highlights, include a few pictures, and a helpful link. Our goal is to help you find that certain Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
Four listings should command your immediate attention, their auctions end today (16th) and they are very cool and/or colorful: a 1994 RS 2 Avant from France that may look familiar, a 2021 Merlin Purple R8 Spyder, a 2018 Ara Blue S3, and a 2018 Tango Red R8 Coupe RWS. Continuing with colorful cars, pictured above is a 2014 A8 L that someone special ordered in Garnet Red, it’s almost fully optioned too. If speed is what you’re looking for, mid-afternoon on Monday (20th) four performance-oriented car listings end over a 33-minute period. They are a 2017 A4 modified for track use, a 2013 S4 Stage 1 build, a 2022 R8 V10 Performance Coupe, and a 2017 RS 3 Stage 1 build. Performance is the real theme this week and a modified 2003 RS 6 is my pick of the week. And after not seeing a C5 RS 6 for a while, this week there are two, the second essentially stock. All together there are 22 cars to review below to see what catches your eye. Don’t forget to click on the smaller photos for a better view. Finally, Auction Watch is taking another short break for a road trip to a wedding so look for the next edition on April 30th. As always, thanks for reading!

2017 Audi A4 Track Car (56,000** Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 04.20.2026 3:05 PM EDT
Just to be clear, I’m calling this a track car and for good reason. The list of mods is too long to list here so please read the listing for all the details. The ** after the mileage is due to the replacement 2.0L I4 that’s built to Stage 2+ level. It even has a Racetech RT4119 racing driver’s seat installed on a Planted Technology base. If you’re interested in bidding, I’d plan to actually bring a trailer to pick this one up. The Carfax is accident-free, incorrectly lists two previous owners and a recall for the Passenger Occupant Detection System.
2013 Audi S4 (60,300 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 04.20.2026 3:22 PM EDT

The car came with a Prestige package, black/Lunar Silver Fine Nappa leather seats, Carbon Atlas inlays, and now has a Rennline phone mount too. The chassis rolls on OEM 19” rotor wheels. The supercharged 3.0L V6 turns a 7-speed S tronic and optional Sport rear diff. Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents but the seller states that the front bumper was repainted to correct scuffs from a parking lot incident. The tires have 2016 and 2017 date codes.
2022 Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD Coupe (5,100 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 04.20.2026 3:29 PM EDT
Continuing the up-spec theme, this coupe is hot from the factory. The 5.2L V10 is Audi rated at 602HP/413 lb-ft and it powers the rear wheels only through a 7-speed S tronic. It’s a Canadian spec, Ara Blue Crystal coupe with black side blades over a black interior with a Diamond stitch full leather package and red calipers for the steel brake discs as the only options. The clean Carfax reports three previous owners before dealer acquisition but the first owner is attributed to its Canadian-exportation.
2017 Audi RS 3 (64,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 04.20.2026 3:38 PM EDT
Like the S4 above, this smaller sedan is also Glacier White metallic and is also enhanced.

The interior is Paranut Brown with three-row leather seating with ventilation up front, wood trim, and Bose Surround sound. The only mods are LED interior lighting and aftermarket “Audi” projector puddle lights. The 3.0L turbodiesel V6 (240HP/406 lb-ft) bolts to an 8-speed Tiptronic. Some flaws listed are chips on the front fascia; a ding on the driver-side rear door, scratches on the driver-side wheels, and 2019 date-coded Continental tires which aren’t too old yet.
2003 Audi RS 6 (124,100 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 04.21.2026 3:19 PM EDT
No Reserve. Here’s an Avus Silver pearl C5 sedan that’s only reported mod is a Sony touchscreen head unit. Inside the Ebony interior are silver-piped leather seats, carbon fiber trim, and Bose sound. It still has the OEM Dynamic Ride Control. The 4.2L twin-turbo V8 was Audi rated at 450HP/415 lb-ft when new and bolts to a 5-speed Tiptronic. Read the listing’s comments on DRC and Tiptronic advice.
