It’s been a good week here at GCFSB for C4s, with a stellar lower mile sedan and a well presented higher-mile Avant. Thanks to our reader John, we get to look at two much more rare examples today. I mentioned in my Avant post that there were multiple drivetrains – even an automatic – available in Europe. Two of those layouts that didn’t make it here were the 6-speed and V8 options; available throughout the run from S4 to S6, it was later upped in “Plus” spec; near supercar stats from the AHK-spec V8 that would also appear in the S8. What’s amazing is how affordable these cars are in Europe relative to what they would be priced at in the U.S.; what’s even more amazing is the colors that these two models are presented in:

No color is listed, but I believe it may be the special order color Byzanz Purple Metallic; it’s exceedingly rare to find, especially on the larger cars. Inside is a pristine black leather, and outside of a few semi-questionable mods this example looks to be really great. I’d love to own something a little outside the norm like this, mating the 280 horsepower V8 that I enjoyed in my V8 quattro to a 6-speed manual and adding the versatility of the Avant makes this one seriously desirable package. That package is even more desirable because of the relatively cheap price – $8,000 just seems like a steal for this car, but of course we’re still 5 years from this being legally importable to the U.S.. Cars like this and the undervalued S2 Avant are on my hit list to consider importing in a few years. Of course, if I were going through the trouble…

Why not go for a Plus? An extra 40 horsepower and quattro GmbH build status on these limited run super wagons makes it even more desirable. The color is I believe either Cerise Metallic, or possibly Pearl Magenta Metallic. Both were more associated with the Cabriolet, and I don’t believe I’ve seen either on a S6 before – nevermind a Plus, normally in silver, black or RS Blue/Nogaro. Inside are the signature Alcantara seats, but unfortunately missing are the original S6 Plus alloys – sad, because they’re one of my favorite wheels on the C4. Despite that the pricing is well below the asking price of many similar-condition U.S. Avants at $13,000. Granted, again the used car market in Europe is very different than the here, and we’re still 6 years away from this example being importable to the U.S.. But it’s nice to dream, or to consider Canadian citizenship anyway.
Thanks again to John for the great spotting!

You are a connoisseur Carter! Those are two dreamy avants! I might have a place to park them in Canada!?!
Why can’t people stop with the wheels and stereos. Outside and then inside they catch the eye and all dignity just flies out the window. The 535i posted today is wonderful because it has not been tramped up.
