How rare is it?

[Bordom]

I've been looking for a Volcano Red A4/S4 6-spd with B+O.

All my searches on local classifieds have yielded hundreds of Brilliant Red or Misano vehicles, but the one Volcano I did find was an auto.

Does anyone here have a Volcano Red 6-spd, B+O but without sport diff?

[adamkb26]

Good luck, there are barely any volcano reds out there.

[BAHNSTORMER]

I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing VR offered on the B8 S4.

You are wrong. I have seen one and almost ordered one in 2015. BUT, Volcano Red is the rarest of Non Audi exclusive colors. Secondly, on 20% of s4s sold in the US are MTs. Don't know waht the perentage of cars with/without Sport dif is. I would guess that there are probably less than 50 (maybe less than that) cars that were made in that combo in the entire US. Not sure about Canada. Good luck. If you do find one, it probably will be located far away. But you never know. BTW, could you actually buy a US spec S4 and bring it into Canada? Now for the real question. Why would the OP even consider buying one WITHOUT A SPORT DIF? IMHO, (AND MOST OTHERS ) I would not buy one without it.

I have 1 2014 S4 love it! get lots of compliments on the color

[joewhy2k]

I have a 2013 Glacier White 6MT w/ sports differential and BO...took me 5 months until I found one so finding a volcano will be very tough.

[laakness]

Yeah, going to be hard to find. Definitely a love it or hate it kind of color IMHO.

I saw one with DSG back in January when browsing cars.com

[jygesq]

you could always order one. if you find a dealer with open allocation ,one that can be changed you can get it quick. I ordered mine 8/16/2014 on open allocation. car was manufactured to my specification on week 41/2014 10/06/2014. it was at dealer on Nov 6th 2014

Going to be hard to find a 6 speed in that color... Good Luck!

[JMUNFORD]

There's a dentist around where i work that has that color but it's very rare and the only one I've seen

[nick71692]

^ I almost bought that one...I ordered it but backed out and got Glacier...Volcano looks way better in person that in picture.

[MrFunk]

Can you order it from factory still with that color?

[Maitre Absolut]

so Bang+Olufsen is a must but no sport diff?

I see where your priorities are...

[doug97gxe]

Can you order it from factory still with that color?

nope

I see B&O is now included with Tech package.

[emnahum]

Are 2015 orders now closed?

[dropshadow]

A buddy of mine owns this VR DSG B8.5 S4:


This is the only 6MT VR S4 I've seen in person:

[GramCracker]

Does anyone here have a Volcano Red 6-spd, B+O but without sport diff?

Back in early 2014 when I was looking around for a B8.5 S4, I saw that exactly optioned car as CPO in Florida with maybe 9k miles. They were asking $35k. The car checked out with no shitty history or anything. I still sorta almost kick myself for not getting into that car.

I then saw a repeat car with slightly higher miles about 2 weeks later, although they were asking $42k. Gone, never to be seen again.

I'm curious as to why those are the specific options you are looking for.

Yeah, you should have jumped on it.

[Chandler]

Why do you want to pass on the sport diff option? Cost? That is going to limit you in the 6mt I believe..

[Fourcircle]

There's one at Audi Atlanta. Not sure how optioned, however.

Simple, no warranty. I've heard of the sport diff failures and how expensive it is. If it does fail, is just another open diff.

Those are all DSG or CVT. Must be manual. I would never own a garbage CVT.

Please read above on my diff preference

I'm curious as to why those are the specific options you are looking for.

It's a beautiful color, and I live rowing my own gears. I've also heard B+O in person and it's amazing. I don't care for sport diff because its another thing to go wrong and repairs are extremely expensive.

Damn, i thought more people would have a 6MT VR.

[GeoJoe]

If this is true, I'm headed down there early tomorrow for my fuel injector recall. Happy to take pics or check it out for ya OP.

[rlfletch]

I had to special order my 2015. I laughed when the salesman wanted to do a search first as I knew how rare it was without even demanding a 6spd manual as well. I love the color and am happy I didn't spend the extra $ on the Nogaro Blue one I had originally intended on buying. Despite the custom order they still gave me a good discount. The B&O, Black Optics and the Sport Diff are must haves IMO. The color is no longer available as a standard order.

Thanks! Pictures of VR to accentuate this thread are appreciated! I'm not looking to acquire one just yet, but I'm throwing a line out to see how many are available in my specific combo. (Not including interior because then it would have to be Audi Exclusive)

[Fourcircle]

See if this link works... It's the one at Audi Atlanta. Is an automatic, sports diff, napa, B and O, 19s, carbon inlays. A nice German sales guy there named Gunter showed me some S4s. No pressure, genuine help. Kinda cool to do a test drive and hear your questions answered in a German accent. Good experience. : )

2013 B8 A5 auto, prestige and s-line pkgs, ibis white

[GeoJoe]

Yeah, well that one has sports diff so I guess it's a no-go for the OP.

Haha

I'll see if I can find it on the lot.

[dropshadow]

I have never heard of a sport diff failure.

And it is Auto. I'm not severely against sport diff. If i find the car and it so happens to have sport diff then I'll live with that.

99% of the Volcano Red's I've seen are auto. It's tragic.

I have never heard of a sport diff failure.

I have had two personally. Both covered under warranty $10,000 and $11500 respectively.

[melomandn]

Going to be interesting to watch how this plays out as more and more B8's come out of warranty.

[B G 8er]

Agreed its a gorgeous color. S4 Volcano Red + 6 sp manual = sick!

[UnstableOS]

Amazing how a SD replacement is 20% of the cars total cost..

What was the mileage at the time? Did you track the car?

[cHive_oN]

Hey just for fun i ran your exact vehicle youre looking for through Access Audi. There isnt an s4/a4 in the states that fits your requirements.. if you;d like to order one lemme know

[theedge111]

No track time at all, spirited driving on off ramps onto highway was about the only time i ever felt the SD

2010 S4 had 32000kms when...full replacement took 5 weeks to complete getting the SD in from Germany.
2011 S4 had 41000kms on it ...had a leak, was told it was a simple seal replacement. Took the car in and never saw it again. Once it was at the dealership they said that the whole diff needed replaced. I bought a new car after waiting 6 weeks for it to be fixed.

Not even with Sport Diff?

I think we need to change the OP's mind about not getting the sport dif!

[Dr GP]

You Really need to like that color. When I went to order my 2015, I had the intention of ordering Volcano. There just happened to be a Volcano A4 in the showroom at the time. Couldn't pull the trigger. Just to orangeish for me. BUT Later saw a volcano S5 convertible with BO package. looked great. Also the lighting has a big effect on the way the color is perceived.
