Audi is setting their A4 model apart from other luxury sedans by offering standard all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission option in addition to their seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission.  The A4 Quattro Manual features a lighter transmission composed of magnesium, open gearwheels, hollow shafts, and a smaller clutch, resulting in a 35.5lbs weight reduction.  Less weight means an improved power-to-weight ratio.  In addition to being lighter the A4 is also faster, reaching 0-60 in 5.7 seconds (0.7 faster than before).  Its 2.0 TFSI engine generates 252hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, reaching a top speed of 150mph.

The A4’s Sport Plus Package offers aesthetical components such as sports seats, stainless steel pedal caps, and brushed aluminum decorative inlays.  S line leather/Alcantara and a flat-bottom steering wheel complete the interior, while aluminum 18” 5-double-spoke-star design wheels in Daytona Gray complete the exterior.
