Back in 2002, ten Audi exclusive allroads were built for the use of the German Ski Federation at that year’s Salt Lake City Olympics. Once the Olympics were over, the so-called “Olympic allroads” were sold off to the US market for which they’d been built. This is one such car.

This was several years before the 2005.5 introduction of the B7 S4 and Sprint Blue that, at least temporarily, took over Nogaro Blue’s position as the eye-catching blue of choice in the Audi color palette. More visually dynamic than most of the standard colors, the Olympic allroads have been sought-after cars for Audi enthusiasts who have tended to modify them in an effort to improve upon their original spec.

What you see here then isn’t a stock, low mileage and pristine example. It’s logged many miles and shows some rust. It’s also got a portfolio of upgrades including manual transmission swap, Stage 3 tuning with k04 turbo upgrade to its 2.7T V6, S6 seats and so much more.

If you’re not afraid of high miles, minor rust or modifications, this is an interesting specimen at an extremely approachable price.
