2000 Audi A4 Quattro Avant Wagon 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Fairfax, California, United States
This is a tuner car that I have been having fun with since about 2005. Over the years I consistently searched out and purchased quality parts and components and had most of them professionally installed by 034 Motorsports, or Kovacs Motors (San Rafael, CA). Used as a back up commuter car for most of its life. Never tracked unfortunately, but pretty much ready for some 1/4 mile blasts or a nice day any any good road course. It has a significant amount of tasteful modifications and might just be what you are looking for. Wife says I have to sell this and one of my bikes, see my other auctions if you like turbo motorcycles. This vehicle is a "big turbo car". If you have never driven a "big turbo car" it is good to know that they ultimately sacrifice low end torque for top end horsepower. This car is no exception. It does have to spool the turbo, but at 22PSI on California 91 Octane pump gas, everything over 4500 RPM is exciting. Freeway onramps are very fun... Performance Enhancements: ENGINE:

The Good: This car is very clean with lots of professionally installed upgrades. Given that it is running a remapped Stock ECU, any problem that might occur would easily diagnosed as if the vehicle was stock. It is very clean cosmetically and only has some small areas where wear and tear were inevitable. The car dynoed on California pump gas at 265 AWDHP which is well over 300HP at the crank. There are Wideband 02 and EGT sensors installed. Adjustable digital boost controller in glovebox. Tinted windows. Full on sleeper. The Not So Good:
The Bad: (NOTE: CALIFORNIA BUYERS PAY ATTENTION) In April of 2013 I took the car to get smogged in my home region of Northern California. Given the extensive mods the car was flagged as a "gross polluter" given that it did not have the "secondary air pump" installed. This is true. Smog laws and testing are getting more strict in CA and they finally caught up with this vehicle. I have all the required parts and can ship with the car. I can not guarantee that this car can be easily somgged in CA given that it officially failed a visual smog inspection. It never had problems passing any of the sniff tests, but with missing parts, it did not pass the visual inspection. Extra Parts:

Audi rules out R8 PHEV, will build E-Tron to order
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The question of whether Audi will morph the next-gen R8 (pictured above, in testing) into a plug-in-hybrid challenger for the BMW i8 may have been answered. CarAdvice, in Australia, is claiming that any plans for a PHV 2016 R8 have been shelved, and that Audi will go ahead with gas-powered or all-electric models, only.
Even then, the electric R8 E-tron (if it ends up being called that) would be built-to-order, and in much smaller quantities than the gas-powered model.
"In the next generation we will have an electric car on behalf of customers' needs, which is only available [upon special order]," Audi product manager Marie Suzanne Ernst told CA. "So it's not a make of series production, but if a customer wants to have it, he can order it."
Audi re-illuminates Sport Quattro with Laserlight concept for CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Automakers typically spend months working on a concept car, then unveil it at a car show and move on to the next. But Audi has demonstrated a propensity at refining the same concepts and bringing them back for more. Just look at how many time Audi iterated its E-Tron concept, and how many diesel R8s it toyed with. It brought the Italdesign Parcour out of retirement and rechristened it the Audi Nanuk, and it's been doing the same with the Quattro concept for the past several years. The German automaker rolled out the first Quattro concept back in 2010, and followed up with the reborn Sport Quattro concept less than a year ago. And now it's preparing to unveil yet another.
Called the Sport Quattro Laserlight concept, this time it's not as radical a departure from the Sport Quattro concept as that was from the first Quattro concept. In fact, there's really only one vital difference. That'd be the laser headlights "that leave all previous systems in the dark," according to the press release below. The system uses matrix LEDs around the outside of the element as low beams, and lasers on the inside for high beams. Measured in mere microns, the laser diodes are significantly smaller than LEDs, while lighting up the road ahead for nearly half a kilometers (1,640 feet), providing twice the lighting range and three times the brightness of LED high beams.
Otherwise the concept car you see here and which Audi will display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week is essentially the same as the one it showed in Frankfurt this past September. It's got the same measurements, wearing the same CFRP bodywork, with the same interior and the same 700-horsepower hybrid powertrain, only the yellow exterior has been repainted Plasma Red and the black interior redone in a more low-key Slate Grey, as you can see from the high-res image gallery above.
2015 Audi A8 rises to meet the challenge [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's turnover time in the extra large premium sedan segment. With Mercedes having stuffed HAL 9000 in its new S-Class, other luxury marques are quickly updating their own super sleds to keep up with this persistent march of technology. While far from a full redesign, the Audi A8 has changed enough for 2015 in terms of styling, powertrains and new technology to keep it in the conversation.
For starters, the A8's exterior design has been redone, with the most noticeable changes happening up front. The trademark 'gaping maw' grille is a little less gaping, while the headlights now feature a straight lower edge of LEDs, excising the old model's droopy-eyed look. Speaking of headlights, Audi now offers optional Matrix LEDs, the latest in headlight tech, with 25 individual elements per side that can be turned on or off and dimmed as the situation demands. The rear of the A8 has also been resculpted and looks very much inspired by the derrière of the A7, with a single chrome strip connecting the new LED taillights.
The A8's full suite of powertrains has also been upgraded, with the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 now producing 310 horsepower (up 20 according to Audi, though down 23 compared to the US-spec 2013 model). The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 is now rated at 435 hp, a solid 20-horse increase that lowers the car's 0-62 time to just 4.5 seconds. That's within spitting distance of the 520-hp S8's time of 4.1 seconds. That aforementioned super sport sedan's engine remains unchanged, as does the 6.3-liter 12-cylinder powerplant in the A8 L W12, but Audi's two diesel engines have both improved, with the 3.0-liter V6 producing an extra eight horsepower (256 total) and the 4.2-liter V8 gaining an extra 34 hp (385 hp) to go along with its more-than-adequate, though unchanged, 626.93 foot-pounds of torque.
