S4 Background

1993 Audi UrS4 (Ur – meaning original)
The original Audi S4 is a limited production high performance sedan based off the popular Audi 100. Approximately 500 to 600 original S4’s were imported to North America per year from 1992 to 1994 when it was discontinued in favor of the equally rare S6. How many remain 20 years later is unknown.

The UrS4 is powered by a 2.2 liter inline 5 cylinder turbo-charged motor producing 227 horsepower and 258 lb/ft of torque which couple to a 5-speed manual transmission and quattro all wheel drive propels it from 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and through the 1/4 mile in just under 15.0 seconds. Not bad for a 3840 lb sedan.
