Numerous technical achievements – many of which hail from motorsport – give the new Audi RS 4 its unique class and character. These features include the high engine speed concept now being introduced for the first time in a production Audi, innovative FSI technology, as well as the latest generation of quattro drive with asymmetric/dynamic distribution of torque. Developing a maximum output of 420 bhp, the V8 revs up to a speed of 8250 rpm. With its displacement of 4163 cc, this outstanding engine exceeds the magical barrier of 100 bhp per litre truly outstanding in a production saloon. Maximum torque of 430 Nm comes at 5500 rpm in this very compact engine, with 90 per cent of the engine’s torque consistently available between 2250 and 7600 rpm. The result is excellent muscle and pulling force at all times, enabling the driver whenever he – or she – wishes to drive in truly relaxed style without frequent gear changes.

Audi has chosen its trendsetting and groundbreaking FSI technology for the RS 4 saloon, direct gasoline injection ensuring even more effective combustion of the fuel/air mixture and, as a result, an even better power yield. This is matched by the highly responsive development of power, the RS 4 accelerating to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaching 200 km/h in 16.6 seconds. Top speed is cut off electron-ically at 250 km/h.

I wasn't a huge fan of the new A4 redesign nor of the S4, but THAT is just too HOT!

And that interior! OMG! images/smilies/wub.gif

Mmmmm, pretty cool. Very good balance of everything, and I also really like that bullet.

Dr. Woo · February 23rd, 2005, 06:32 AM

I kind of prefer the old one too...but in saying "kinda," that means I think this car is only slightly less than perfect.

I love it. Want one.

I thought there was news a while back regarding audi not making these high powered tuned cars??? I remmeber very well

CamoN · February 23rd, 2005, 10:46 AM

Is there anything about the price? That thing could blow the EVO VIII and the Impreza WRX right out of the water in every aspect if it would be at the 50 000 - 70 000€ range. But I'm quite confident it isn't. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Mischief007 · February 23rd, 2005, 11:44 AM

Sounds awesome. Too bad it is out of my price range...lol

They said they wouldn't enter the power craze that Mercedes is taking. They will make powerful cars, but not at any expenses.

I feel the exact same way. I look at that car and think "it's lacking something..." and what it is lacking is a hatch. RS sedans always look a tad boring to me, but I'm obsessed with the wagons. images/smilies/biggrin.gif
