To rightly celebrate 25 years of quattro technology, 250 limited edition Audi S4 sedans were released this year. The 2006 Audi S4 25quattro Special Edition sedan is distinguished by silver paint (25 is the Silver Anniversary), 18-inch multispoke wheels and performance tires, and carbon interior trim. It also boasts a sunroof, navigation system, heated front seats, folding mirrors, Bluetooth, memory settings, and satellite radio, all of which are only options on the regular Sport Sedan and Cabriolet. It is powered by the same 4.2-liter, 340-hp V8 and comes with a 6-speed manual transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive features the new 40/60 front/rear torque split.
ABS brakes, traction and stability control, dual front-side and two rows of head airbags, adapative xenon headlights and headlight cleaners, heated mirrors and washer jets, front and rear foglights, and a rear spoiler are all standard. It also has rain-sensing wipers and a tire monitor standard, which are optional on the other trims. The interior comes with the full array of power accessories, power leather seats, cruise control, 6-CD changer, keyless entry, and dual-zone climate control. Rear seats split-fold and have an armrest/trunk pass-through. A ski back is also included in the 2006 S4 25quattro Special Edition sedan. There are no options, since most of them come standard with this limited edition. Drivers love the look, feel, and handling of this sport sedan, and especially the quattro performance. Good power and all the standard features are another bonus.

The S4 25quattro is the simple-elegant execution of a complex concept. The backdrop for the vehicle is of course celebration of the birth of quattro all-wheel drive 25 years prior. Producing a special series in this case a limited edition of only 250 vehicles to commemorate a significant event.
Take a walk around the car and a few things clearly stick out. First of all the car is a stunning color called Avus Silver a grayish-blue shade with unbelievable, sparkling depth. This color was previously used in North America on the anything-but-ubiquitous RS 6s and TT ALMS edition vehicles (as well as the previous generation RS4 in Europe), meaning it retains its air of exclusivity.
The fantastic paint is applied to a B7 S4 body modified with Audi DTM-inspired body styling. Bumpers, front and rear, have been changed and in both cases present a wider and lower-to-the-ground valenced look. Cosmetic brake ducts very DTM looking indeed have also been integrated into the front and rear bumpers. The new bumper covers required the sacrifice of the front fog lights altogether and the S4s typical quad tipped exhaust in favor of a more traditional dual tip design.
The nose of the car is unique. Not only is the grille finished in an almost-menacing glossy black, but it is adorned with an S4 25quattro exclusive quattro badge.
The exterior menu is carbon fiber trim used on both a rear trunk spoiler and on the front lower nose of the car. In the case of the rear spoiler it retains, at least when viewed from behind the car, a functional, OEM look. When viewed looking straight down from above the contrast of the carbon fiber with the aforementioned Avus Silver paint is perfectly orchestrated. The same may be said about the S4 25quattros chin where the carbon fiber is deployed on a not-too-busy front spoiler in a classy manner.
Rounding out the exterior look of the S4 25quattro is of course the wheels, which, in continuing with the trend of borrowing from the DTM racecar look, are inspired by the OZ race wheels used on the A4 DTM vehicles. Sized 18 and a full 15-spokes, the wheels are in our opinion one of the small cracks in the vehicles overall presentation.
This car feels tight and firm just the way a sports car should and the new 40:60 split quattro system (available on all MY2006 manual transmission-equipped S4s) performs admirably.
The gearbox is another area where Audi raised the stakes since the previous models and we were quite pleased with the short throws and overall shift feel. Nothing screams sports car louder than a truly deep, V8-displacement-induced burble and subsequent growl on WOT.
Quite simply it is the very best vehicle that Audi of America could put together from the existing parts bin to mark the significant anniversary of the renowned quattro system. An Audi spokesperson pointed out to us that the S4 25quattro is the best the S4 will get in this [B7] generation
It has hand stitched, ultra-high-quality leather seats from quattro GmbH. It has the fantastic looking grill treatment and carbon fiber highlights. It also has the amazing Avus Silver exterior and the wheels.
Nothing Audi offers in the North American market pays homage quite as well as this vehicle and 250 lucky owners will get to own a piece of that celebration.
