Audi A4 Wallpapers

New Audi A 4 Car - 2005 photo wallpapers: The Audi A4 is a midsized luxury car made by Audi. It was introduced for the 1996 model year, replacing the Audi 80 (called Audi 90 in North America). [br]B5 (1995-1998): Audi debuted the model in 1995 as a 1996 model on Volkswagen's B5 platform, which it shared with the fifth generation Passat. Like the Passat, it had a longitudinal engine orientation and standard front wheel drive, although the vast majority of A4s Audi sells come optioned with their Quattro all-wheel-drive system. [br]A wide range of engines were available to European customers including a 1.9 litre diesel 4-cylinder, although Audi's 2.8 litre 12-valve V6, carried over from the old 80/90 was the only engine option in North America until 1998. Audi introduced their new "1.8T" for 98', a 1.8 litre, turbocharged 4-cylinder based on the unit they'd developed for their BTCC race car. It made 150 Horsepower and 155 Lb. Ft. of torque. Audi also debuted their new Tiptronic transmission on the B5 platform, based on the unit Porsche developed for their 964-generation 911. The transmission is a "manumatic", meaning it offers the driver a choice of driving the car as either an automatic or a clutchless manual. [br]B5 facelifted (1999-2002): Audi refreshed the model in the middle of 1999 model year, sometimes the model is called as 1999.5 A4. Later In 2001 Audi updated the 1.8T engine output up to 170 Horsepower from 150. New taillights, headlights, door handles, and other minor exterior/interior changes rounded out the cosmetic updates. [br]Audi re-introduced their high-performance S4 on the B5 platform and debuted an even higher performance RS4 model. [br]B6 (2002-2005): A completely redesigned A4 debuted for the 2002 model year, now riding on the B6 platform. The new vehicle retained the 1.8T without changes, but European-market diesels got updates to boost smoothness and power output and the 2.8 litre V6 was replaced by a new 3.0 litre unit making 220 Horsepower. [br]For 2003 Audi re-introduced the S4, now powered by a 4.2L V8, as well as a 2-doored convertible variant of the A4, finally replacing the 80/90 convertible that had been discontinued in 1998. [br]Audi also introduced a continuously variable transmission, which replaced the Tiptronic on front wheel drive models. The transmission won considerable praise from automotive press and is generally regarded as being the best of its type in the world ahead of units from other large manufacturers like Toyota. [br]B7 (2005-onwards): Audi introduced the next new A4 in late 2005, now riding on the B7 platform, which is completely unique to Audi and not shared with Volkswagen. Nonetheless, the B7 is really a revision of the outgoing B6, and not a ground-up redesign. [br]Audi has kept several diesel powerplants available in the European lineup, but has again decided on a 2-engine strategy for the American market. An all-new 2.0 litre, DOHC turbo 4-cylinder with direct injection and making 200 Horsepower and 207 Ft. Lbs of torque replaces the 1.8T, while a new 3.2 litre, 255 Horsepower V6 also with direct injection replaces the 3.0. Quattro drive is available throughout the range on almost all engines. In addition to the carry-over S4, Audi has re-introduced the RS4 to the lineup. [br] [br]
