PRESS RELEASE:
2008 AUDI A4 SPECIAL EDITION DEBUTS AT CHICAGO
AUTO SHOW
Audi of America Inc. today announced the debut of the 2008 A4 Special Edition at
the Chicago Auto Show. The new configuration was created for customers wanting a
thoroughly modern German luxury sport sedan with more exterior appeal and
attractive packaging. This adds to the popular S line exterior bumpers and
grille introduced as standard features on the A4 for the 2008 model year, which
include a sportier front bumper and grille design, lower side door flares, and
integrated rear trunk lid spoiler.
Designed for A4 sedan and Avant models equipped with the 2.0 TFSI engine,
exterior differentiation for the Special Edition includes a new standard 17-inch
wheel that features a 9 Y-spoke design pattern. Standard interior features for
quattro-equipped models include leather-trimmed heated front seats and metallic
paint. As a result, models equipped with FrontTrak attain a $405 improved value
in new standard equipment, while those with quattro permanent all-wheel drive
attain a $1,155 value improvement.
All A4 Special Edition models include a one-year subscription to SIRIUS
Satellite Radio, complete with commercial-free music plus sports, news, talk,
entertainment, traffic, weather and data. Similarly, customers can still choose
the full S line and Titanium packages as optional sport upgrades, as well as a
full range of individual options. Some of these sophistications include
DVD-based Audi Navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free preparation, iPod
adaptor, and wood beltline trim.
The A4 is also one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its luxury segment.
The cutting-edge 2.0 TFSI direct injection engine made the prestigious Ward's 10
Best Engines list for the third consecutive year in 2008, which recognized
Audi's expertise with efficient performance and advanced technology.
Safety has also been a top priority for the current model, and the A4 was the
first passenger vehicle in its luxury segment to offer brake disc wiping as
standard equipment in early 2005. This feature, combined with one of the most
advanced and proactive stability control systems ESP 8.0., reduces the chances
of inhibited braking performance during wet or inclement weather.
The A4 was one of three Audi models to receive the "Top Safety Pick" designation
for 2008 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), for which it also
won in 2007. Audi has the highest number of IIHS "Top Safety Pick" designations
within its entire model line in comparison to luxury competitors BMW, Mercedes,
and Lexus. This category recognizes excellence in top frontal, side, and rear
crash performance and the availability of ESP (Electronic Stability Program).
"The Audi A4 has been a star performer for many years as an exciting sport
luxury product offering in addition to its outstanding residual value," said
Johan de Nysschen, Executive Vice President, Audi of America. "Much attention
has been paid to constant enhancements to proactively meet and exceed the most
particular customer wishes and tastes."
The A4 Special Edition is expected to be available at authorized U.S. Audi
dealer partners by mid March 2008 in both sedan and Avant body styles. For more
