Nogaro Blue...Avant...V8...am I talking about the Audi RS 6 Avant RS Tribute edition? While a very sexy beast, I am not. This is a 1997 C4 S6 Avant plus for sale in Hungary. Why am I featuring this? Well, its 1st registration was March 1997 and with the US 25 year exemption on importing cars, you would only have to wait until March 2022 to get this. Here's the ad:

The Audi R8 LMP1 was a tough race car to follow but the Audi R10 TDI LPM1 was the car to do it. The 5.5L V12 TDI diesel race car entered 48 races, winning 36 of them, earning pole position 12 times, and held the fastest lap 13 times. Its legacy can't be argued with. It was immortalized in the documentary Truth in 24 where it battled the formidable Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. It was driven by such...

If you build it, they will come. This particular RS 4 Avant build has graced the pages of quattro Magazine and people's dreams for awhile now and guess what? It's for sale. When Daniel Gray bought it, it was a 'regular' B7 S4 Avant but he wanted more. Instead of rehashing what he did, you can read about it HERE. Dan is no stranger to awesome Avant builds; he also built this one. He had his fun with th...

There has always been fans for what we lovingly call the longroof and the Audi faction is no different. Audi Avants throughout the years have always had a small but very vocal fanbase and I'm sure they will get loud over this. Our last find of the day was a C5 S6 Avant converted into a manual RS 6 Avant. That got the attention of our readers and so should this. What you see here are two C4 S6 Avants be...

words: Bill, photos: ninertriplezero via Cars & Bids This year, we finally got the C8 RS 6 Avant here in the States. For way too long, we've been longingly looking across the pond while everyone else got to romp around in the super Avant. However, one person took matters into his own hands. What you see here is a C5 S6 Avant that has been transformed into an RS 6 Avant and with a manual transmission. Be still my beating heart. Here's ...

I'm a sucker for a Coupe quattro. I'm an even bigger sucker for a 2.2 turbo 5. Combine the two? Oh man. That's what you see here. This 1991 Coupe quattro's engine was swapped to the more desirable 2.2 turbo 5 plus it's in that quintessential Audi 1990s color, Pearl White. Here's the ad:

In 1969, the first Audi model arrived stateside with the model year 1970 Audi 100. This car was the first of many from the Ingolstadt giant. In fact, the Ingolstadt production line was so overwhelmed, they opened another line in Volkswagen's Wolfsburg plant where it became the first water-cooled car produced there. The Audi 100 became the most successful model in Audi history up to that point. In 1976, the...

At first glance, it looks to be a regular 4000 but do a double take and you'll see a couple of things missing. Two doors to be exact. What makes this even better (and rarer) is that it is also a quattro. How rare? Only 362 were made and this one found its way to Canada. Here's the ad:

Ok, I will try to not make too many Ronin references with this post but it'll be hard not to. If you are not familiar with the movie Ronin...I mean, as an Audi enthusiast, you should be ashamed of yourself. Aside from stars like Robert De Niro and Jean Reno, the real star was the D2 S8. Go on YouTube (if you don't own a copy of the movie) and search for Ronin Audi S8. It will change your...

Well this is different. I don't think I've ever seen a widebody S6 before...a couple of R8s yes, an S6 no. Aside from the obvious, this S6 also has the power to back up the looks. Here's the ad:

The first thing you'll notice about this Quattro is the striking color. Originally black, it has been repainted in Galaxy Blue. While purists may chafe at the color change, I love it...similar to Sepang Blue which is one of my favorite Audi blues. Here's the ad:

The ur-quattro was a classic the moment it arrived but its legacy has grown over the years. Today, it's getting harder to find one in pristine condition but here's one. It only has 52,167 miles and one spot of rust on the hatch. I don't know the ownership history of this car but it's being offered by Throttlestop in Wisconsin. Throttlestop just happens to be a sponsor of our Wisconsin chapter so maybe one...

After the RS2 Avant and the RS 6 Avant, the next lusted after Avant would probably be the RS 4 Avant and the B5 one at that. While there are more than a couple in the States, there's still the 25 year rule in place so how this one got in is a mystery. And the ad doesn't give you any details on really anything.

I love the MK1 R8 especially the V8 model. I know the V10 is the lustful one to get but the V8 will always have a spot in my heart especially with that gated manual. But one thing both the V8 and V10 has is quattro. For years and into the 2nd gen, quattro was always standard until the RWS model was revealed in 2017. Some though looked at other RWD supercars and wished their MK1 R8 were the same. Take this 2009...

I've seen this Avant before...well, I'm 91% certain I've seen it before. Many moons ago in a different life, I was volunteering at a United Way Day of Caring and our assignment was in a park in Nazareth, PA. It was hot, we were moving rocks the size of Beetles from one pile to another, and out of a crew of 7, there were only 3 of us moving those rocks. Needless to say, I was not in the best of moods.

With great power comes great responsibility and the urS6 Avant can be called a great vehicle. This one I've seen in person and it looks as good as it does in these pics. Dan Gray is the owner of this beauty. He's also the one who built the green B7 RS 4 Avant we featured in a past issue of quattro Magazine so you know this one is built right...awesome. Here's the ad:

I remember seeing a Coupe quattro for the first time way back when (I'm old) and being mesmerized by it. Today, I get the same feeling because that design is so timeless and beautiful...and few and far between. I used to see one run around town the last several years but it has disappeared. Did the owner move? Was the Coupe wrecked? Did they sell it? Who knows but it's a sorely missed sigh...

Nogaro Blue and Avant brings the killer Audi RS 6 Avant RS Tribute edition to mind but this isn't that. 25 Tribute editions made it to the States but I wonder how many B8 A4 Avants in Nogaro Blue are here? I can't remember when I last saw a B8/B8.5 Avant that wasn't an allroad and I live on the East Coast where wagons are almost everywhere and in fact, this Avant is located in Maryland. Not only is t...
