Completely clean history - never so much as a single MOT advisory!
A very unique, well cared for and extremely clean example of a very capable, yet practical, luxury performance saloon.
Although capable of embarrassing much more expensive and exotic cars, it has been cherished from new by both keepers - polished, garaged and kept under a car cover, when not being driven to/from car shows.
A true Jekyll and Hyde - with the wrap and exhaust, it attracts attention; in Ibis White and standard exhaust guise, it blends in with all the other traffic, its subtle modifications only recognisable to knowledgable petrolheads.
Having lead such a sheltered and low mileage life, it's no wonder that both the exterior and interior are like new. It even still has a 'new car' smell to it!

Power:
- 493ps (485bhp) and 610Nm

Transmission:
- Revised 8K1 (suffix J) dual-clutch gearbox - brand new, Audi supplied/fitted just 13k miles ago (and serviced regularly).

HANDLING
- KW V1 Coilovers (height-adjustable).
- H&R uprated ARBs (both front and rear).
- Canyon Run CR-15 Front Strut Tower Brace.
- 20" wheels (genuine 20x9 ET26 Audi RS4/5 ‘rotor’ alloys, painted 2-tone - not diamond-cut).
- 20mm H&R TRAK+ DRA hubcentric spacers.
- 265/30 ZR20 R01 Pirelli PZero tyres.
Compared to a standard S4, the above modifications work together to provide a wider, lower stance, with less body roll, and without compromising ride quality.
EXTERIOR
Modifications:
- Bespoke wide arch conversion (professionally carried out by specialists, and blended in to existing panels to provide a factory-like finish).
- Bespoke wheel arch liners.
- Driving Passion rear ‘diffuser’.
- Rear-view camera, seamlessly integrated into the boot handle.
- Genuine Audi Black Edition front grill and fog grills.
- Trims de-chromed (windows surrounds, front lip spoiler).
- Matching Audi Titanium Grey accents to wheels, door mirrors and Audi rings.
- Black badges (including 'Supercharged' front wing badges).
- Akrapovic carbon fibre exhaust tips.
- Window tints.
Paintwork:
- Immaculate factory Ibis White paintwork, professionally detailed and maintained - never been dinged or otherwise damaged.
- Custom 'Paint Protection Spray'. Bespoke pearlescent colour mix - designed as a more intense (OEM+) take on Audi's Sepang Blue.
Although a peelable wrap, this solution (unlike vinyl wraps) is more like traditional paint, in that it has a high-gloss finish that can be sanded, buffed, polished and waxed, just like standard clear coat. It also has some of the 'self-healing' properties of PPF.
Other advantages are that: it doesn't require seams, there’s no cutting, no adhesive, no lifting or curling of corners.

- Immaculate Milano leather upgrade.
- OEM cruise control retrofit.
