2001-2006 Audi A4 (B6)

Produced by German car manufacturer Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the Audi A4 is a line of compact executive cars. Since its creation in 1994, the Audi A4 has seen five generations and is based on the Volkswagen Group B platform, a mid-size car platform. The B6 is the second generation and it debuted on October 10th, 2000.

The A4’s automobile layout consists of a front-engine design, with a transaxle-type transmission mounted at the rear of the engine. Furthermore, the cars are either front-wheel drive or “quattro” (Audi sub-brand to indicate all-wheel drive). The B6 design was inspired by the Bauhaus design of the C5 (second-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997.
