The archive covers multiple A4 variants: the A4 Allroad, A4 Allroad Absolute, A4 Avant, and special editions including Black Elegance and Black Style Plus. The collection documents not just base models but also wagon and limited-edition versions across generations.
This page focuses on the documents themselves: what exists, what years are covered, which markets are represented. The catalog page describes the car's specifications and features. Here we're exploring the collection as a historical resource, not the technical details of the A4 itself.
The collection grows regularly as new original documents are acquired and cataloged. The current span through 2024 shows active maintenance. Check back periodically to discover newly added materials that expand the archive's depth and coverage.
