This Audi S4 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2005 Audi S4 Avant is the only example from the model year finished in Aquamarine Blue Metallic and was reportedly ordered new by Nell Newman for Newman’s Own Organics. Power is provided by a 4.2-liter V8, which drives all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Features include a silver leather interior with the Premium package, and a Milltek exhaust system has been added along with Hotchkis sway bars and refinished 18” BBS wheels. A timing chain service was conducted at 111k miles, and the car was purchased by the seller two and a half years ago. Now showing 120k miles, this S4 Avant is offered at no reserve with a clean Carfax report, binder of receipts, manuals, a letter from Audi, and a clean Alabama title in the seller’s name.

Special-order Aquamarine Blue Metallic paint is shown up close in the gallery below. The left rear door and tailgate were reportedly refinished when a bicycle fell off the roof rack under previous ownership, and the hood and front valance were repainted to correct chips according to the seller. A scratch in the rear bumper cover is noted along with a chip in the front license plate filler. No accidents or other incidents of damage are shown on the Carfax report.

The car features silver roof rails and side mirror housings, as well as 18″ BBS wheels that were refinished in January 2019. The Michelin tires were installed 8k miles ago, and a matching spare is included in the trunk. Hotchkis sway bars were added, the brakes were serviced, and power steering hoses were replaced under current ownership. 

The car is shown in the video above being driven by Dick Barbour, longtime friend of the Newman family and co-driver with Paul Newman at the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The cabin is upholstered in silver leather over heated Recaro front seats and wears black trim with wood accents on the doors, dash, and center console. The car was ordered with the Premium Package including a sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, light sensors, and other amenities. New blue and black Coco mats were added last year.

Approximately 120k miles are indicated on the odometer, 8k of which were added by the seller. An air conditioning service was reportedly carried out under the seller’s ownership, and the stock CD player is noted to operate inconsistently.

The 4.2-liter DOHC V8 was rated at 340 horsepower when new and is paired with a 6-speed manual transaxle and Quattro all-wheel drive system. Audi specialist Anderson Motorsports reportedly conducted an engine-out timing chain service in 2016 that included new tensioners, rails, bearings, valve cover gaskets, and more at 111k miles. A new clutch was also installed. A Milltek exhaust system was added under previous ownership.

A cold-start video is provided above.
