The third generation of the Audi A4 was introduced for the 2005 model year. This new generation of A4 was known as the B7 and was largely an evolution of the previous B6. The A4 (B7) was available as a sedan, 'Avant' station wagon, or convertible and was fitted with a range of inline four and V6 engines. The most notable variants were the S4 and RS4, both of which are performance focused versions of the A4. While production of the A4 (B7) cabriolet continued until 2009, production of the sedan and station wagon ended in 2008.
