RE: S4 buying gotchas

Geir:

A 1993 S4 _automatic_? That's interesting. There was no such option in the
US (no S4/6 avant until 95), which is odd since automatics are the most
popular tranny choice here. You own the only turbo quattro audi with an
automatic I've ever heard of before the 97 A4 1.8tq automatic. Are you
certain this was a production item/option? If so: Is the power output the
same (e.g. is the engine detuned for automatic duty as many manufacturers
sometimes do on high HP models)?

Has anyone else heard of a pre-A4tq with turbo, quattro, and an automatic?
Was the automatic an option with other performance models: S4/S6 plus, RS2,
others?
