The Audi A4 is a line of compact executive cars produced since late 1994 by the German car manufacturer Audi. a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. The A4 has been built in four generations and is based on Volkswagen's B platform. The first generation A4 succeeded the Audi 80. The automaker's internal numbering treats the A4 as a continuation of the Audi 80 lineage. with the initial A4 designated as the B5-series. followed by the B6. B7. and the current B8. The B8 A4 is built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform shared with many other Audi models and potentially one Porsche model within Volkswagen Group. The Audi A4 automobile layout consists of a longitudinally oriented engine at the front. with transaxle-type transmissions mounted at the rear of the engine. The cars are front-wheel drive. or on some models. "quattro" all-wheel drive. The A4 is available as a saloon/sedan and estate/wagon. The second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 also had a convertible version. but the B8 version of the convertible became a variant of the Audi A5 instead as Audi got back into the compact executive coupé segment. The Audi A4 2013 has been awarded the best in design and safety among its class. Audi introduced a revised A4 in late 2004. with the internal designation of B7. This new range A4 utilised the existing Volkswagen B6 (PL46) platform. a chassis derived from the outgoing B6. but revised steering settings. suspension geometry. new internal combustion engine ranges. navigation systems and chassis electronics (including a new advanced Bosch ESP 8. 0 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system). The front grille assembly changed to a tall trapezoidal shape in the same manner as the C6 (third-generation) Audi A6. Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger car longitudinal platform. size 4. generation 6) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are also carried over from the B6 A4 range. but now have an additional identifying suffix – 8EC for the saloon. 8ED for the Avant. and 8HE for the Cabriolet. The engine lineup received many additions. The 2005 introduction of Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) on the 2. 0 TFSI and 3. 2 V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines. as well as other refinements. increased power output to 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) and 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp). respectively. These engines both use a four-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve design was incompatible with the FSI direct injection system (due to the siting of the fuel injector. now discharging directly into the combustion chamber). The 2. 0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine now combined Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology with 16 valves. while the larger 2. 5 TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a 3. 0 V6 TDI. offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the year 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW; 230 bhp) model in 2006. A 2. 7 V6 TDI was added later. Torsen T-2 based quattro permanent four-wheel drive remained as an option on most A4 models. Audi retired its 5-speed manual transmissions in favour of a new Getrag 6-speed. As before. multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). now with selectable 'seven-speeds'. was an option on front-wheel drive models. whilst a conventional ZF 6HP 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was an option on the quattro four-wheel drive models. In addition to the Audi S4. which carried over the powertrain from the B6 S4 – Audi reintroduced the quattro GmbH developed Audi RS4 (RS for RennSport) to the lineup. for the first time on the saloon/sedan and Cabriolet body. and with a naturally aspirated. but high-revving 4. 2 litre V8 FSI engine. Another notable inclusion on the RS4 is the latest generation Torsen T-3 quattro 4wd system. which uses a 'default' asymmetric 40:60 front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new asymmetric centre differential was initially only available on the RS4. but was added a year later on the S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range still utilised the T-2 50:50 default dynamic split centre diff.
