New Audi RS4 goes on sale

Updated



The performance Audi RS4 Avant has gone on sale with prices starting from £54,295, and deliveries expected in Autumn. The performance estate hosts a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine with 450PS, and a maximum torque of 430Nm between 4000 and 6000rpm. The seven-speed S tronic transmission achieves 0-62mph in 4.7secs, a governed 155mph top speed and a thirsty 26.4mpg fuel consumption.

Along with the rest of the RS range, the car has Quattro permanent all-wheel drive which gets a crown-gear differential distributing power between front and rear axles as required. Up to 70% can go to the front wheels and as much as 85% to the rear, with a 40:60 split as the standard split.
