i got the name wrong. Ned Ritchie is correct. I'll look at the manifold carefully tomorrow and see what the PN is.

More info Intrax Sport Springs are for D11 chassis not C4. D11 ground clearance listed 3.7'' S4 as 4.0''. Springs listed as 35 mm drop. 2Bennett camber plates are adjusted positive as possible, no adjustment left. I am not going to lower my car anymore. Handles great. Tires last.

Hmmm...Audi "D" cars = A8/S8, there is a D2, i.e. DII but they haven't hit D11 (eleven yet).

from google search Wikipedia
car body style of the Audi V8 resembled the Typ 44 Audi 100 and 200 models,[1][10] and was based on a stretched version of the Volkswagen Group C3 automobile platform, known either as the D1 or D11[4][10] platform Intrax d11 spec

I've now owned my '92 UrS4 for 3 days, and I'm loving it. Its an early one, VIN ends with 04310. So 4310th car Audi built for '92 I guess.

Any idea how many ended up getting imported that year?

I'm seeing 443 into the USoA and none into Canada for 1992.

Up to 632 in 1993.

*wonder how that compares to other somewhat rare cars, like M3's or 911's

Good guess. Check your driver's side door jamb sticker, it should say your car was built in August of 1991. Aug. 1st started with NN00001 and ended with N023429 Aug. 31st, 1991 so, yes, your's is a very early build.

If you ever check I believe that you will find that your boost and fuel chips (the ones that could be upgraded) in the ECU were socketed from the factory. Also, your G40 cam position sensor is located in a "tuna can" distributor, driven off the intake cam (this ended in mid-Feb. 1992 when the G40 was moved to behind the exhaust cam sprocket), as explained HERE.

Source of your info (can we tap into it for more stuff?)?

Canada got 1992 model year specification UrS4s. However, they were, for reasons, not clear, all VIN'd "PN" (=1993) instead of "NN" (=1992) even though they were build from Jan. 92 to June 92 (which is the 1992 Model year). As a result, Audi of America does not recognize any Canadian "92" cars.

Canada also got "real" 1993 "PN" cars, like mine, with carbon fibre trim, etc. with the cars that were built in Aug. 92 and later.

It came from the old UrS4.com website, not sure how accurate it is. I tried to copy/paste the chart but it didn't work.

Its an old safari link: http://web.archive.org/web/200102070.../UrS4_main.htm


Year - USA - Canada

1992 - 443 - 0
1993 - 632 - 0
1994 - 535 - 161
1995 - 948 - 72
1996 - 410 - 114
1997 - 000 - 73
1998 - 000 - 1
