    I see lots of posts about unicorns, thought maybe we should have a thread dedicated solely to them. I'll start:

    2002 s4 avant tip
    Pearl white/onyx
    145k (100k bf BEL swap)

    Confirmed 1 of 7 by AoA



    Unfortunately, mine are all phone shots but they'll suffice

    Because that's all they shipped us lol

    Year/model/ext color/int color/tranny combo. That's specific to the us market though, not globally.

    There is a very limited number of white (casa or pearl) b5s4 avants running around

    Ah right ok.

    I don't get why wagons are so rare in the US.

    In the UK they are very common. The 2.0 TDI is the most common. The next most common one is prob the RS4.

    They're rare here because apparently most americans prefer SUV's to wagons.

    Oh I think SUVs outsell Avants here too, but still a good few Avants around.

    Slightly defaced, but rare none the less.

    Funniest part of owning one of these is that only older people know what it is, so Cars & Coffee meets are the only place it gets any attention.

    What is the definition of "unicorn" (numbers sold/available?) or is it just an individuals taste?

    Seems like it's starting to just be up to an individual's opinion. There should be some rules for this.
    Originally, I believe it referred to A4 Ultrasport Avants that were Arctic White with six speed manual.
    I used to have a 07 A4 Avant S-Line in Brilliant Red with Titanium Package. Folks at Audi said there were less than 27 of that combination imported to the US.

    I go low import numbers for my definition in any color. Under 50 total would be a good number.
    And it should be whole generation not one year.

    I think that's a biased opinion. How could it solely be based off of that combination, when there's plenty of other models with less production numbers? There's a gentleman with a 1 of 1 nogaro s4 in the states, so how could it refer to a model combination of less than 27 and not pertain to a 1 of 1? Imo that 1 of 1 is more of a unicorn than almost any other model combination referred to as "unicorns". That would also exclude the b7 ibis Ti avants as well. If we want to establish rules, id say tar is spot on, however I don't believe it should be specific to whole generation. At that point, in regards to "b5" generation that would group a4 and s4 in the same category. Then you can't specify facelift models from non facelift models; they're different cars all together. Obviously, most people will be biased to their specific model. If you want to make rules, supply production/import papers from AoA. Also, we could distinguish production "unicorns" from vehicles made to be "unicorns".

    Here's an example of why I (and others) consider my car a unicorn. I also don't believe there are any pearl s4 avants prior to 01.5

    I personally (now this is my opinion remember) would consider a unicorn to be a color combo, matched with a 6MT that an individual has spent a long while trying to buy. While production numbers are important, I think "the search" and story that goes with it is what makes it somebody's unicorn.

    Incidentally mine is a Negaro blue avant with a six speed tranny. (Any gen).

    Yeah tranny to me never matters when it comes to limited production vehicles. I'm not sure if he/she was replying to me though. Either way, the C6/6.5 never offered an mt in the US, so that should never be something held against it.

    Lol. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I do agree to an extent, I am a MT lover myself. However, let's not turn this into an auto vs 6mt thread, and stay on topic please

    Silverarrow, I have never seen a driver seat in a b5 that looked like it's fresh from the factory. Very nice sir

    I guess that my 2001.5 B5 S4 MT imola avant doesn't count then because I only spent 3 months looking for a MT B5 S4 avant and condition was more important than color for me.

    Oh well, less than 30 B5 S4 imola avants imported but not a unicorn because I don't have a good story of an endlessly long and painful search. . .

    Not that I care if anyone considers my car a unicorn or not. I've seen two other imola 6 speed avants here in Boulder CO, which is kind of crazy given the total import numbers. And there was a imola B5 S4 avant with tip for sale in Denver this fall.

    Happy New Year, everyone!

    This is what AvantNoir was referring to when he said we need rules. While that's heartwarming and all, a "Nogaro in six speed" doesn't make it rarer, especially given no car info such as year, production numbers, odd special order info, etc.

    Apparently this thread is turning into something it wasn't supposed to be. It was made to have a collection of members cars with that rare factor. Not a dick measuring contest. Idc if you car is auto or not, that's not what this thread is about. This isnt vwvortex, so please refrain from spamming this thread with bs, and let's get some pics and production numbers posted!

    Heavy, let's see that imola!

    I <3 this thread.

    I think unicorn simply means super rare, probably double digit.

    1 of 97 C4s in 1998, literally only a few were white. Can't remember exact number.









    Heated memory seats, sunroof, Bose, 6 disc changer, rear facing third row, triple halogen headlights, even the mirror dips in reverse. My friend's 07 A4 doesn't do that and I make a ton of fun of him for it.

    Like the usp club or something? I'd be down for a 1"x1" gold badge. Can put it next to my oem+ decals

    Really surprised there's only 1 b7 in here so far

    +1 for the c4
