The seller offers for sale this 2006 Audi S4 Cabriolet, a high-performance convertible that combines German engineering with bespoke styling. At its heart is Audi’s renowned 4.2-litre V8 engine producing smooth, robust power, mated here to a manual transmission for a purist driving experience.
A highlight of this vehicle is its Audi Exclusive “Solar Orange” paint finish, a special-order colour that sets it apart from standard S4 models and enhances its sporty appearance.
Inside, the cabin is equally striking thanks to unique orange accent striping along the edges of the seats, an uncommon feature from the Audi Exclusive program. Unlike simple contrast stitching, these are genuine material inserts, lending the interior a distinctive character that complements the exterior colour. The interior condition is rated excellent, with no repairs or replacements needed, and all functions and controls working as intended. Additionally, the car comes equipped with a new set of rims and includes an S-line multi-function steering wheel as well as a set of lowering springs, adding to both aesthetics and driving dynamics.
Lights, indicators, and systems function properly, and the car has a valid technical inspection certificate. With 104,250 km recorded, the mileage is verified and consistent with its history.
The Audi S4 Cabriolet occupies an interesting niche in Audi’s performance lineage. Introduced as the top-tier version of the A4 convertible lineup, the S4 offered a significant step up in both performance and luxury over standard models. The 4.2-litre V8, derived from Audi’s larger performance sedans, delivered refined yet potent power, offering an engaging soundtrack and satisfying acceleration. In convertible form, the S4 combined spirited driving dynamics with the enjoyment of open-air motoring, making it an appealing choice for enthusiasts who desired both performance and practicality.
The B7 generation of the S4, produced between 2005 and 2008, refined the design of the earlier B6 while retaining its core mechanical elements. The B7 introduced subtle styling changes, improved handling characteristics, and an updated interior layout. The S4’s discreet yet purposeful appearance, paired with high-quality materials and solid build quality, made it popular among buyers who preferred understated performance over more flamboyant rivals.
This particular S4 Cabriolet, finished in Solar Orange with unique interior detailing, stands out even among its peers. The Audi Exclusive program allowed customers to individualize their cars to a far greater extent than standard factory options, ensuring that models like this remain rare and collectible. Its manual gearbox further increases its appeal to purists seeking a more connected driving experience.
Today, the B7 S4 Cabriolet remains an intriguing option for those seeking a refined, powerful convertible that balances everyday usability with engaging performance. Examples that have been well maintained and feature rare options, like this car, are becoming increasingly desirable as modern classics. The combination of unique specification, careful maintenance, and the potent V8 powertrain makes this Audi S4 Cabriolet a compelling choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
