This Audi is a triple play: Nogaro Blue, Avant, 6speed manual. That's all that really needs to be said. I might as well just put photos here because that's all I'm going to be paying attention to from now on. But here's the ad anyway:
This 2005 Audi S4 Avant was first registered in Southern California and was acquired by the seller in 2018. The car is said to be one of six manual transmission-equipped ...

Whenever we talk around the office (remember offices?) about the TT, the inevitable phrase is always thrown at me: What do you mean you don't like the MK1 TT? I have to defend myself by saying that from the side, rear quarter, and rear, the MK1 TT is a really good looking car but then you get to the front...

Ok...this is how you write a 'For Sale' ad for your car: write a blog post, include many photos, and even a video. Much better than the regular ads you see on Facebook, definitely better than ads you see on craigslist, and even better than some dealer ads.
Sadly, after spending a lot of time and money on it, Nick is selling it but for a great reason...he has a child on the way and the TT...

1988 wasn't a kind year for Audi in America. From selling roughly 75,000 cars in 1985 to plunging to 23,000 in 1988 due to the unsubstantiated Audi 5000 'unintended acceleration' scandal, Audi was struggling to bring in buyers. One family, however, was not phased by the hysterics. They bought a new Audi 90 quattro off the lot and drove it home. That 90 quattro is the car you see here.

In the world of endurance racing, Audi has reigned as king for most of the past few decades. For those not familiar with the sport, endurance racing involves taking a race car and not only making it incredibly fast, but making it be able to go that fast for up to 24 hours with the only stops being for more fuel and tires. While Formula 1 cars might have an outright speed advantage, ...

Well...this isn't subtle. Our Find of the Day is a 2007 RS 4 art car painted by pop artist, Romero Britto. This isn't a wrap but a genuine hand-painted work of art by Britto. Britto added his bold and vivid vision to what it looks like a Daytona Grey canvas. This car was commissioned by Audi for Art Chicago 2007, America's longest running international and contemporary art fair.

LEGO Ideas is a place where LEGO model builders present their ideas to be voted on (or supported) by LEGO Ideas members. Once they get to 10,000 votes, their creation will be reviewed by LEGO. Last year, LEGO labeled this model as a Staff Pick and there is no wonder why.

The last time we featured an RS 4 Cabriolet as a Find of the Day, it was billed as the lowest mileage RS 4 for sale at 22,487 miles. That particular RS 4 was Brilliant Black. This one? It's an eye-popping Imola Yellow and it has a claim of only fourteen thousand miles! Wow...that's an average of less than 1,200 miles a year.

Imola Yellow...it's a color that you either love or hate. Put it on a car that's almost universally loved and it's an unstoppable combination. This particular B5 can be found in Colorado and it almost sounds too good to be true. Here's the ad:

quattro GmbH (today known as Audi Sport) was established in 1983 and their most well-known model is the RS2, a joint venture between quattro GmbH and Porsche. However, their 1st series production model is what you see above...the 1997 S6 plus. There were a total of 952 S6 plus models produced: 855 Avants and 97 sedans.

The last time we feature an Auto Union 1000SP Coupé as a Find of the Day, it was located overseas and was a Thunderbird-esque red with a white top. This one is much closer and is silver with white leather. How close? Despite wearing Ontario tags, it's located in Pittsburgh, PA.

It's not a big secret around the office that I love S2 Coupes. From the squared-off bull nose to that rounded rear *shudder*. This one however gives me the vapors. A claimed 1,152hp, this S2 isn't a daily driver...or is it? Here's the ad (translated from German):

Audi Sport built 999 of the R8 V10 RWS with only 320 of them sold in the States. And what makes this series of R8s so special? Well, it's rear wheel drive...the 1st ever rear driven series production Audi model (the Audi R8 LMS GT3 was the 1st RWD from Audi). So yes, this is a special car.

There are a few B5 RS 4 Avants in the States but none are for sale now and arguably, none in this condition. Also, I happen to know the owner and you may too.

Ok let's just state the obvious: this is not an S2 despite the badges front and rear but it's still a beautiful Audi nonetheless. Painted in Amazon Green, it's perfectly paired with a black leather interior. There are no signs of rust on this 25 year old car and the interior is beautiful. There is no mention of any restoration done on this car which is amazing because it has (hold onto something) 28...
