Audi A4 DTM
To make a championship winning car even better – the Audi Sport engineers and technicians faced this delicate task when the job of developing the DTM race version of the new Audi A4 arose. From the visual aspect they certainly succeeded: The new A4 DTM, which was publicly unveiled for the first time at the Motor Show in Geneva, spontaneously appears even more dynamic than the successful predecessor model with which Mattias Ekström won the DTM title last year.
The fourth-generation Audi A4 DTM, which bears the project name “R14” internally at Audi Sport, is also futuristic from the technical aspect. With the help of state-of-the-art CFD calculations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) particular attention was paid to the air flow running around and through the car. “In doing so we completed what we had already started last year with the R13,” explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. “We are convinced that we have achieved the most logical optimisation of the aerodynamics allowed within the framework of the regulations.”

Audi Abt AS4 2009
The new Audi A4 is the definitive vehicle of the mid-sized sedan market and with Abt Sportsline engineers having refined the new model further. The result is an expressively-designed and exceptionally-engineered vehicle signaling a true victor of the class. The Abt AS4 is styled to personify strength and agility without losing the A4’s sense of elegance and is much a smooth cruiser as the Audi production model it is based on giving a sportier experience and more agile ride into the car.
These strengths are primarily accentuated through a new bodykit. Marked new front skirts, highlighting the car’s headlamps, flow into new side wings and through to the dynamic rear end, finished off by a new rear spoiler and the addition of quad exhausts neatly-integrated into a new rear skirt.

The all-new 2009 Audi A4 goes on sale this spring. Revealed at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Audi’s volume model looks similar to the successful 2005-2008 models it will replace. However, it is a totally new structure packed with new engineering.
The styling of the upcoming model reminds us of skin pulled tighter over the muscles and bones, and it favors the beautiful new A5 coupe.
The upcoming A4 gets an all-new body made of steel that is stiffer and lighter than that of the previous car.
