_Audi Announces RS4 Cabriolet Pricing_

Audi-philes rejoiced at hearing the hot, 420-hp RS4 Cabriolet was approved for North American sale beginning this fall। But if they want to drop the top, they’ve got to drop some serious coin. Audi’s announced pricing for the hot 2008 model ’vert starts at a whopping $82,675 (including $775 destination charge but not gas guzzler taxes), nearly $15,000 more than its four-door sibling.Much of the cost differential stems from an extensive list of standard equipment. Features including Bluetooth connectivity, Sirius satellite radio, Bose speakers, a six-disc CD changer and heated front and rear seats. The same features are part of the $4,700 Premium Package on the RS4 sedan.Ordering an RS4 Cabrio is simple; the only options available are interior and exterior hues, and an iPod connector in place of the CD changer. But with only 300 headed to the U.S., they’re bound to sell out quickly, regardless of price.
