Back in February 2012, Audi presented the third RS4 generation and thus the direct successor to the RS4 B7 at the Geneva Motor Show. The RS4 top model is based on the A4 B8 and, like the B7, was equipped with a 4,2-liter V8 high-speed engine. However, the V8 has been significantly revised and now delivers a whopping 331 kW (450 hp) at 8250 rpm−1 and a maximum torque of 430 Nm. In contrast to the previous models with the popular 6-speed manual transmission, the RS4 B8 comes with the 7-speed dual clutch transmission as standard S tronic installed. As with the Audi RS5 comes the permanent four-wheel drive four including its crown gear differential as a center differential, replaces the Torsen differential. The advantage is that in addition to a delay-free distribution of drive torque and the noticeably lighter design with the new differential, up to 70% of the drive torque is directed to the front axle or a maximum of 85% to the rear axle. The result means 4,7 seconds in the sprint from 0-100 km / h and a top speed of electronically regulated 280 km / h (at an additional cost).
"Akrapovic Evolution Titan Exhaust System"
And just such an RS76.600 Avant, costing at least €4, was recently visited by the tuner cartech.ch in Switzerland and was given a few subtle changes. While this RS4 sits on the standard 19-inch alloy wheels, it was ensured that they sit much more firmly in the wheel arch using a KW coil spring set. And a few optical retouches were also made, for example all chrome parts are covered in matt black foil (roof rails, windows) and the radiator grille, apart from the Audi emblem, is completely black. And so that you can hear that there is a V8 under the hood, the RS4 was given a high-quality Akrapovic Evolution titanium sports exhaust system with carbon-look tailpipes, which should definitely provide a breathtaking soundscape. Apart from the changes just mentioned, nothing else seems to have been changed on the RS4, so we'll leave you with the pictures at this point. 🙂 However, if we do receive some more information about important changes, there will of course be an update for this post.
