Walter De Silva took over Audi’s design department in 2002. The 2004 A4 facelift was one of his first works with the other Bavarian brand (yes, their seat is also in Bavaria).

The B7 Audi A4 looks much more dynamic. Despite only a few changes implemented, the facelift managed to accomplish a reinterpretation of the original design.
