What is an Ultrasport?

**Mani** · 03-01-2010 09:20 AM

Guys.
What is an Ultrasport A4 or USP? Is it just the Sports suspension or something more?

Thanks,

**MmmBoost** · 03-01-2010 09:20 AM

Ultrasport = Awesome!

Ultrasport is the name for the "S-Line" version of the A4 made in 2004 and 2005. It was has a few differences between the regular version. Including, B5 RS4 wheels in 18", larger door flares (smaller than the S4), euro bumpers (shorter than NA bumpers) and a different lower lip on the front bumper and lower valence on the rear bumper.

When it comes to interior, some of the later USP's came with brushed aluminum trim, and they all came with perforated steering wheels and shift knobs.

Edit: on the avant.....there is a larger rear spoiler on the hatch, and on the sedan it came with a lip spoiler on the trunk

**itsmatt33** · 03-01-2010 09:22 AM

different bumpers and wheels and i believe same suspension as the soprt pack

**Lusticles** · 03-01-2010 09:22 AM

USP

has different front and rear bumper
steering wheel
wheels
trunk lip
edit:( and as apexIt said) the doorblades

as opposed to your standard A4

**ApexIt** · 03-01-2010 09:23 AM

^Dont forget different door blades as well!

**Mani** · 03-01-2010 09:23 AM

thanks guys! USP looks great :-) I will try to find an USP...

**BlackB6** · 03-01-2010 09:24 AM

there's a bunch in the classifieds..

**JoshDub** · 03-01-2010 09:25 AM

dont forget the door blades! or the 6 speed tranny in the USP

**9803audiboy905** · 03-01-2010 09:28 AM

Almost all 04 and on A4 have 6 speed transmissions.

USP also always have black interiors and painted lowers.

**mattro** · 03-01-2010 12:59 PM

mine came with the sport steering wheel, painted lowers, 6 speed manual..... but it's not a USP :(

**bl0wn3ur0** · 03-01-2010 07:16 PM

The USP is gods gift to the B6 A4............

**Mani** · 03-01-2010 09:13 PM

Super!

**eurogruppe** · 03-01-2010 09:19 PM

i agree with the above statement :)

but as Lusticles states...

it comes with a different front and rear bumper which is shorter and more appealing than the base/sport a4 and s4
sport 3 spoke preforated steering wheel
has its own lip spoiler which is more appealing than the S4 lip spoiler
its own door blades which are more subtle than the S4 door blades
18" RS6 style wheels
the suspension from what i understand is the same as the sport model

**hihosilver** · 03-01-2010 09:23 PM

C'mon guys really! Granted there arent't enough words in civilized English to describe the overtly pleasing asthetic appeal of the USP, but why hasn't someone already mentioned the word SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH!?!?!?! This is the biggest fail thread ever and the easiest question to find an answer to by using the search feature. Had someone asked for help with coolant issues or asked about DDM Tuning HID's ya'll would crucified them for trying to get some technical know how and turn thier own wrenches, what the hell?

Because he is new, sure we could of all tried to be a macho man like you and yell "search" and then flame him and discourage him away, yet the point of these forums is to help each other out.

**Coyote USP** · 03-01-2010 09:44 PM

This is the second "What does USP mean" thread today, and I don't even mind because I love telling people how much more awesome it is than a stock or sport A4

And God's gift to the B6 may even be an understatement....I like the look of the USP more than most of the aftermarket stuff you can buy

**brandn3w** · 03-02-2010 06:56 AM

Forgot the Perforated Leather Shift Knob as well...

Oh, thank God <3 my USP =]

**pkny** · 03-02-2010 08:22 AM

Is the front bumper really shorted then a non USP bumper?
I always thought the only difference was the lower valence.

**mikeyb** · 03-02-2010 08:27 AM

Just going to poke in here, my 3.0L is getting a set of 18's eventually to replace the factory 17's and I think it will need a bit of a drop (not much, Canadian winters and all). Is there any easy way to tell if it has the sport suspension? It looks like it's sitting about a half inch or so too high to look right, and I understand the USP cars are about 3/4 inch lower than what mine would be (I think) which is about right for decent looks without giving up too much clearance or travel (pot hole city!). Is it easy to throw USP suspension in a non-USP car? Just a matter of springs?

**onlyaudis** · 03-02-2010 08:36 AM

There is no special USP suspension. Its the same as the factory sport suspension. And that is my only beef with the USP car. Audi made the thing look really nice with all the added cosmetic touches, but really didn't do one thing to improve the performance over the regular A4 with a sport package. They should at least put in the higher output engine to go with the looks! (like the 225 horsepower one the TT Quattro's had)

Of course, you can do your own tuning on the car now and make it be what it should have been from the factory. There are two of them near me I see driving around. Yes, they are in my opinion the best styling of any of the A4's still to date, including the B8 cars.

Yes both front and rear bumpers are shorter...they have shorter rebars too

Get your 3rd ring before manhandling a thread here kiddo. :0 J/K, but ease up I like sitting here reading 120 posts that say the exact same thing.

I don't mind threads like this because i always seem to find something new about these cars. Its better then a forum with no new threads.

for real, i always wondered why you couldnt just switch sport bumpers with USP's lol one week after i bought my car (the only audi at the VW dealer) there was a black USP 3.0 sitting there, looking all sexy and everything

talk about FML right? haha

I've been a member for 9 moonths longer than you I could have four rings by now if I wanted to post ridiculous questions and answers like you do; and who you referring to as kiddo mr. MD?

**b6onboost** · 03-02-2010 10:58 AM

I wouldn't even own an A4 if it wasn't for the USP. I test drove a black/black A4 TQ 6M sport and wasn't thrilled. Then I saw a black/black USP and the deal was done. Even though the cars are mechanically identical, the USP package just made it look and feel like a much nicer car.

Did you not see the joke and funny face?
Why are you increasing your blood pressure for nothing.

LMAO !! No I totally saw the funny face and new it was a joke which I had obviously made an unsuccessful attempt at one-upping.... The point I was trying to make was that we shouldn't be attacking people for thier threads in general.... I've gone from being afraid to change the oil myself 2 years ago to doing my waterpump and timing belt myself two months ago because of threads on this site. I was just trying to get the message out that it someone asks for help the members of the community should either give it or just say nothing, we shouldn't be attacking people just for trying to further thier knowledge..

My first reply was not intended to be an attack on the OP, to be more accurate my thoughts were directed at those out there who reply to a question by telling someone to look it up.

**Mani** · 03-02-2010 07:43 PM

Guys,

This thread has been very useful and helpful for me in finding my next A4.

I found an 2005 A4 USP with 42k miles on it... it has premium audio and Xenon premium lighting package...
the guy is the 2nd owner and is asking $14.5k for it... let me know what you guys think....

it has the following issues...
1. broken cup holder
2. door ding of a quart size on right passenger door...
3. dings on the back bumper....

**pkny** · 03-02-2010 09:42 PM

Go for it!! That is a really good price for a USP with that type of mileage. Cup holder can be fix very easily and cheap when you do you symphony II+ or rns-e upgrade eventually.
Bumper and door can always be bondo up and repainted.

**Mani** · 03-02-2010 09:50 PM

Thanks a4darkness....:-)

I sold my 2003 Audi CVT 3.0L couple of days ago .. I owned the CVT only for 4 months .. lost $2k in the transaction.... but the experience was invaluable.....

This USP is going to be my first car with stick.. I am very excited... I am gonna try to get some sleep before heading out to see it....

**a4darkness** · 03-02-2010 11:13 PM

Your post totally made me grin. And it's your first manual? An USP? Wow, that's extra cool. Tomorrow is gonna be a great day indeed.

**Blitzkrieg989** · 03-03-2010 06:22 AM

Im glad your post was what is USP? Rather than my CVT tranny crapped out!
