How Audi ensures its legends live on

Audi is famed for its precision German engineering, but perhaps its greatest strength is its ability to channel that discipline into cars that deliver a unique, visceral driving experience every time you get behind the wheel.

It’s that surge of satisfaction when you feel the roar of an RS engine responding to your foot on the pedal. And the sensation of control you enjoy thanks to the perfect unity of the chassis, drivetrain and steering, as you glide down a country lane.   

So many of Audi’s RS and S badged models have left great legacies in the motoring world, largely down to the unique experience delivered behind the wheel. For many who didn’t get a chance to experience owning one of these iconic vehicles, they may think they missed their chance. This needn’t be the case; Audi proudly ensures these legends live on and keep delivering those unique, elevated driving experiences through its Approved Used programme.

Explore Approved Used 

A remarkable range of performance cars

Let’s say you’ve always wanted to own an S4 Avant – and why wouldn’t you? You can browse a number of desirable options, featuring some models less than three years old with fewer than 10,000 miles on the clock.

We’re talking serious power here, with a 3-litre V6 TDI engine capable of propelling you to 60mph in just 4.7 seconds. And because it’s an Audi performance car, you can still rely on carefully crafted additional touches, including brake callipers painted in black featuring the ‘S’ logo.

Or, if you’re after a hatchback with a sharper edge, go for an Approved Used RS3 Sportback with a turbocharged engine and seven-speed S tronic gearbox. Explore different specs such as the special Carbon Vorsprung edition, which can do 0-60 in a spritely 3.8 seconds.

Whichever legend from the Audi Sport models you have your eye on, this is your chance to find one that suits your needs at an Audi centre near you.

Buy with trust

Any automotive purchase is a big life decision, especially with performance cars that leave such a lasting impression. That’s why Audi has tailored the Approved Used experience to ensure that when you’ve found the right car, you can proceed with the ultimate peace of mind. Its experts live and breathe Audi, with specialist knowledge and training directly from the brand itself.

Each car will have undergone 150 checks, all to Audi’s exacting standards. Every line of its ownership and service history will also have been checked with a fine-tooth comb, with any required work or servicing completed by Audi-trained technicians, using only genuine Audi parts.

Plus, five days’ drive away insurance gives you plenty of time to get all the necessary paperwork sorted once you take the car home, and you can benefit from up to 12 months’ Audi warranty and roadside assistance, too.*

So, if you’re going to buy a used Audi from anyone, shouldn’t it be someone who knows Audi like, well, Audi?

When you walk out of the Audi centre showroom, keys in hand, you won’t just have bought a car. In your own way, you’ll have placed yourself within Audi’s rich performance heritage.
