Ingolstadt - An enjoyable and
sporty driving experience, superior and complex technology, classic and
exciting styling, and luxury that even satisfies the demands made in the
luxury class: Audi is presenting the new generation of a car that has
become a classic - the A4 Cabriolet.
The advent of a new model
generation is evident at first glance: the open-top four-seater now has
the single-frame grille that typifies the brand. The newly styled rear
lights add a further visual touch. The car's taut styling, clear surfaces
and tension-packed shoulder line extending along the entire body are
characteristic features of the A4 Cabriolet.
The car's technology lives up
to the promise made by its new styling: the A4 Cabriolet is being launched
with four engines, three of which are being offered for the Audi A4
Cabriolet for the very first time. FSI and turbo FSI technology represent
the most advanced state of the art for petrol engines, as do the
ultramodern piezo injectors in the three-litre TDI, which is already
familiar from the A4, A6 and A8. The sporty yet comfortable dynamic
suspension converts the power delivered by these units into sheer driving
pleasure - on every bend, on every mile of the journey.

Innovative and highly
sophisticated technologies are an integral part of practically all vehicle
areas and components: the optional xenon plus headlights, with dynamic
cornering lights as an option, are proof of this, as indeed is quattro
permanent four-wheel drive. Comprehensive occupant protection systems -
including a two-stage driver's airbag and side airbags - together with the
highly complex, latest-generation electronic stabilisation program ESP
provide high reserves of safety. Features specific to the Cabriolet
include improved side impact protection and the active roll-over
protection system with two roll-over bars which are projected behind the
rear seats.
The quality of materials and
workmanship in the interior are of a standard that need not fear
comparison with the luxury class. The architecture of the driver's area,
especially the cockpit - a perfect synthesis of ergonomics, function and
design - is pioneering.
