S line and sports specifications
Dynamism and design The S line specifications from quattro GmbH, which are tailored precisely to each Audi model, satisfy customer demands for enhanced sports character. They include sports suspension and interior elements. The quattro GmbH range also includes an extensive selection of alloy wheels. Sporting style for the Audi A2 More than any other compact car, the Audi A2 - the first volume-production aluminium concept - embodies high-tech solutions for a car with compact overall dimensions. To accentuate its typical character visually, quattro GmbH offers sports suspension with optimised spring and damper settings in conjunction with 17" wheels of 9- or 10-spoke design. S line for the Audi A3 The S line gives the successful Audi A3 a more dynamic look and greater sports appeal. In addition to the A3 Ambition's extensive standard equipment specification, the S line sport package includes a large number of distinguishing sporty attributes. These include even more overtly sporty low-slung suspension settings with special springs and firmer dampers, cast aluminium wheels of a 9-spoke design with size 225/45 R 17 low-section tyres, exclusive body colours in Avus Silver or Misano Red pearl effect as an additional optional colour, sports seats with electrically adjustable lumbar support, seat upholstery with the centre section in "Speed" fabric and the side sections in leather, a 3-spoke sports steering wheel with perforated leather, gear lever knob in perforated leather (optionally aluminium gear lever knob), instrument cluster with light grey dials, S line logo on the side panel and rear door. S line is available for the A3 1.9 TDI (96 kW) and for the 1.8 T (110 kW and 132 kW). Sporting style for the Audi TT The quattro GmbH engineers have developed an even sportier version of the Audi TT's suspension. While the vehicle body has been lowered by 20 millimetres, modified springs and shock absorbers give the Audi TT particularly dynamic driving characteristics. There are also 9-spoke alloy wheels or two-piece cross-spoke alloy wheels with size 225/40 ZR 18 tyres in the range. A Recaro bucket-type seat provides excellent lateral support, as a further equipment option that will appeal to the more enthusiastic driver. S line for the Audi TT Roadster With its unmistakable outline and dynamic qualities, the Audi TT Roadster already stands out as a refreshing alternative to turgid conventionality. Its typical flair can be accentuated even further through S line. In addition to its extensive standard specification, there are exclusive body colours in Avus Silver or Misano Red pearl effect, 20 mm lower sports suspension, 18-inch cast aluminium wheels of 9-spoke design, low-section tyres of size 225/40 R 18, titanium-coloured headlight trims and S line signets on the rear side sections. To give the interior an exclusively sporty flavour, in addition to the standard black leather upholstery there is the option of two custom colours: Brilliant Red and Silver. This model's sporting character can be further enhanced by the choice of an aluminium gear lever knob. The S line sports package is available for all engine versions of the TT Roadster. Sporting style for the Audi A4 Particularly thanks to the unmistakably dynamic accent even of the entry-level version, Audi's top-selling model positively invites the customer to choose equipment that will enhance its sports appeal. The precision-tuned S line sports suspension and 17" or 18" wheels with the typical 9-spoke or classic cross-spoke design emphasise its talents. Sporting style for the Audi A6 quattro GmbH has put together an attractive interior package for the A6. Sports seats (or Recaro sports seats if desired) offer an ideal synthesis of perfect lateral support and excellent comfort on long journeys. A three-spoke sports steering wheel with a leather rim, light-grey dials in the instrument cluster and the Driver Information System DIS are also all part of the interior package. Headlining and add-on parts are in the colour Onyx, trim inlays are in black piano finish. A6 owners who are particularly sports-minded will find the S line sports suspension to be a tailor-made solution. Firmer springing and damping assure even more precise handling. 9-spoke and cross-spoke cast aluminium wheels of size 7.5x17" or 8x18" are available to match the suspension. The basis for sports character: alloy wheels Alloy wheels are one of the most striking indicators of a car's sports character. The design of the wheels is perfectly matched to the AUDI AG model range; their quality meets the highest standards. The alloy wheels supplied by quattro GmbH not only emphasise the vehicle's visual attraction, they also support an Audi's handling performance. quattro GmbH offers an extensive range of alloy wheels in various sizes for all Audi models: A2

quattro GmbH has developed an extensive range of alloy wheels for retrofitting on all Audi AG models. The design of these wheels underlines the exclusive, individual impression on the model range. The wheels are of a supreme standard of quality, and they actively underpin the dynamic performance and sporting characteristics of an Audi. A few examples: For the A4, A6 and A8 there is a cast alloy wheel of size 7.5 J x 17 in cross-spoke design; it can be fitted with size 225/45 R 17 or 225/55 R 17 tyres for the A8. The 9-spoke design familiar from the RS 4 can be supplied for several models and in various sizes: the S3 with the combination 8 J x 18 and 225/40 R 18 tyres; the A6 4.2 and S6 with wheel size 8.5 J x 18 and 255/35 R 18 tyres. The wheel size 8.5 J x 20 with 255/35 R 20 tyres is for the A8 and S8. Audi drivers can also benefit from the visual attraction and quality of alloy wheels and wide tyres in winter. Combinations of alloy wheels and high-end winter tyres in the largest summer tyre size in each case are available for the A3, A4, A6, A8 and TT model series as well as the sporty S3, S4, S6, S8 and RS 4 versions.
