A look at the new B8 Audi A4
Written by Dion on August 28, 2008 – 12:18 pm -Barrier Motors brought by the latest B8 chassis Audi A4 for us to check out – thought we’d share some pictures here with you.
The design of the front-end is very much like the already released B8 chassis Audi A5 and S5, with slight differences to distinguish this model. The front fascia still includes Audi’s open-grille design and now larger cooling ducts in the lower section of the bumper, giving it a rather aggressive front-end. The B8 A4 is also 4 inches longer compared to the previous B7 model, and you’ll notice some different body line along the side of the new B8 A4.
And of course the headlight re-design now includes the very familiar white LEDs that really separate the Audi from the rest of the vehicles on the road.
We needed the car here so we can get a brake template made for the car. Brake templates allow us to determine which of the Hartmann Wheels we have that will fit the car. Brake-wise, there won’t be any clearance issues however the all new B8 chassis cars have a 66.6 center bore (similar to Mercedes Benz) so our entire product line-up will need to change to accomodate this new hub size. We will have Hartmann Wheel solutions coming soon, as well as a new B8 Audi A4 section in our online catalog.
The engine bay is certainly different as well… The oil filter relocated up top was one of the first changes easily noticeable and obviously makes for a much easier oil filter swap. APR is almost ready to release ECU programming for the new 2.0L TFSI motor and we can’t wait to see what kind of power gains we can expect to see for it!
We noticed the battery has been relocated to the trunk, and further below the spare tire (which is not full-sized) and we were happy to see the famed “widow-maker” jack is no longer being supplied.
… And the 125/70-19 spare tire… Yikes!!
Stay tuned to our online catalog for new B8 A4 products coming soon!!
