The car's technology lives up to the promise made by its styling. The Audi A4 Cabriolet is available with two engines that offer the latest in fuel-injection technology - Audi's FSI. FSI direct-injection represents the most advanced state-of-the-art technology for gasoline engines. 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 Bi-Xenon headlights with adaptive lighting are proof of this, as is quattro® permanent four-wheel drive.The quality of materials and workmanship in the interior are of a standard that needs 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.
The Audi A4 Cabriolet is offered with two highly modern engines with FSI gasoline direct injection: the 3.2 FSI V6 and the two-liter four-cylinder 2.0 TFSI. They combine high performance with a spontaneous response to every movement of the accelerator pedal and a peak-torque range at a high level.
The 3.2 FSI V6 produces 255 hp at 6,500 rpm and 243 ft. lbs. of torque at 3,250 rpm. About 90 percent of the engine's peak torque is available from 1,900 to 5,900 rpm, allowing for strong acceleration in any gear, at any speed.
At its launch the 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder was the first engine to combine turbo charging and direct gasoline injection. Producing 200 hp from 5,100 to 6,000 rpm and 207 ft. lbs. of torque between 1,800 to 5,000 rpm, the 2.0 TFSI is a marvel of power and efficiency.
Both engines have been named to recent Ward's 10 Best Engines lists, a further testament to their advanced design and abilities.
These engines deliver their power to the road either via the front wheels or by means of quattro permanent four-wheel drive. Customers can choose from a continuously variable Multitronic transmission (2.0 TFSI FrontTrak) and a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission (standard 2.0TFSI quattro and 3.2).
The set-up of the dynamic suspension system, with four-link front and self-tracking trapezoidal-link rear suspension, has been designed for sporty handling and good ride comfort.
The steering has been developed to give the driver greater precision, as well as better feedback from the road when cruising. In connection with this, the engineers adopted several mountings and the dimensions of the front and rear shock absorbers from the Audi A6. The rear trapezoidal links and the front track rods originate from the Audi S4 sedan.
These systems add up to a high level of agility and precise handling, combined with first-class ride comfort - all qualities that benefit drivers of the Audi A4 Cabriolet. This also applies to the brakes, whose dimensions and performance have been adapted to suit the Cabriolet.
The Audi A4 Cabriolets offer a standard equipment list that sets a benchmark in the midsize class. Every new Audi A4 Cabriolet, for example, comes with a power retractable roof and dual-zone automatic climate control, ten-speaker audio system with in-dash six-CD changer and MP3 compatibility, power one-touch windows, driver information display, cruise control, large ski sack, high-pressure headlight washer system, and numerous other features that are typical of a luxury convertible.
All Audi A4 Cabriolet models can be equipped with an optional S line package consisting of five-spoke 18" alloy wheels designed by quattro GmbH with performance or allseason tires, sport suspension, S line front and rear bumpers, and brushed aluminum interior trim.
Audi A4 Cabriolet can be equipped with an Audio package with a Bose premium sound system and SIRIUS satellite radio, and a Convenience package including HomeLink, auto-dimming exterior and interior mirrors, light/rain sensor for automatic wipers and headlights, Bi-Xenon headlights with adaptive front technology, driver side memory for seat and mirrors, and acoustic convertible top (on 3.2 models only).
Other stand alone options on the Audi A4 Cabriolet consist of luxury items like heated front seats, Audi Navigation Plus, and Bluetooth phone preparation.
The Audi Audi A4 Cabriolet's A-pillars are reinforced very effectively by means of high-strength tubes whose structure is an indispensable source of extra safety if the car rolls over. Sills with an optimized thickness and cross-section boost the occupant cell's strength and occupant protection. High-strength tubes also are used in the seat structure, as a means of protecting the occupants in the event of a lateral collision.
The doors, in particular, have to be designed with safety in mind. In conjunction with structural reinforcements in the sills and a strengthening cross-member below the rear seat, special impact absorbing beams in the doors help ensure a high standard of safety. At the back of the car, a double rear panel improves body rigidity.
If the car rolls over, a roll-over protection system in the double rear bulkhead adds to the occupants' safety. In this case, two protective bars, controlled by sensors, are triggered behind the rear passengers within milliseconds. Together with the extremely rigid windshield frame, they help to preserve survival space for all occupants if the car turns over.
The standard electronic stabilization program ESP 8.0 with hydraulic brake assist provides for maximum active safety.
All seats are equipped with three-point inertia-reel belts (the front belts have beltforce limiters and belt tensioners, plus a seat belt reminder for the driver) and head restraints. The safety equipment specification also includes a driver's airbag activated in two stages and side airbags.
