Driven: 2006 S4 25quattro | « » 3:31 PM 9/29/2005 | |

Autumn is coming. The leaves are starting to turn and the morning air is crisp. With this change in season, the year of quattro’s 25th Anniversary enters into its twilight. 25 years ago, the first quattro products powered onto the scene and Audi will cap the celebratory year off with the delivery of 250 special ‘25quattro’ edition S4s like the one seen here. For now, the 25quattro tested is the only one in the country. Audi had a prototype built for its debut at the Quail event during Monterey’s legendary automotive gathering in August. Up until now, the only photos of this car have been relatively unclear of the car’s detail. So here’s a closer look, a virtual walk-around for those considering this limited edition S-car. Full Story

the first S4 i have ever seen that i DON'T lust over. The wannabe body kit is too ricey for me. too guady. And the wheels just don't belong on an S4. Didn't VW put those same wheels on a GTI?

The grille is painted Audi's new black color, just to differentiate a bit more. Painting your own grille would net a similar result. I liked the look.

They have the spoiler here for sale. I'm not sure if any US retailers have them yet, but they most likely will if they don't already. I'm not sure how much different the prices will be either.http://www.vagparts.com/pages/A4DTM.htm

It should be available from dealers once the cars start to arrive, possibly in November.

This is the first car in a while that has inspired me. It is a perfect balance of performance and luxury, touched by no other. Thank you Audi for being such pioneers and always quality conscience. If I had the money, and believe me I don't, this would be the car of my dreams. A car that few can afford, but no one would love it in the way that I could. Thank you again Audi, I love you.

http://www.audiusa.com/25quattroI think they're giving away a 2-year lease on one of the 250. Maybe you don't have to afford it. Make sure to enter.

Audi Rep advise yesterday that my 25quattro will be in Knoxville next week. Since all 250 were built at one time and I am sure shipped on the same vessel, you will have your car long before December !

Okay, here's some solid information...Audi has 5 ports in the US and the S425q's are coming in 5 different batches. West coast cars have arrived, while very few east coast cars have arrived. Release to dealers is now scheduled the week of Nov. 14.

George - Thanks for the knowledgable input. While I hope you are wrong, I suspect your information may be more valid than that of the Audi Rep. I am still hoping for delivery of my 25quattro next week as he (the regional Audi rep) was so positive that my car would make knoxville next week.

The chrome around the windows ruins it for me. When will Audi learn that performance cars don't have chrome? As least make proper black trim optional like BMW does.

George - Since you have the inside line, why are the 25quattros being held at port?

The ring stickers for optional customer use arrived from Germany and were placed in the cars on Friday. It may sound trivial, but it was an advertised detail, so shipping them without decals wouldn't have been prudent. The cars are being released upon notice from the ports this week. It's possible they could make dealers before week's end.
