A4/S4/RS4 [Official] 2013 Audi RS4 B8

The Audi A4 is a line of luxury compact executive cars produced by Audi. Production: 1994-2025. Predecessor: Audi 80. Successor: Audi A5 (B10).
It sure does. But does it bring the same emotions as the B7 RS4 Avant?

In terms of kerbside-factor, the B8 takes it. In terms of mouth-watering-prospect-of-being-behind-the-wheel... the B7 RS4 is one of my all-time, must have cars.

Weird. So the RS4 is slower then the RS5 100-200, but is quicker in gears. Weird.
 
Sorry I haven't had the chance to rummage through the entirety of the thread, but I was wondering if there were any pictures of the B8 RS4 in either yellow or green? Tumbo?

Sorry mate, not yet. Not that I know of. So far we've seen it in white, black, red, blue, silver, grey, orange and black.

I guess this is the closest to yellow that we've seen so far.

Ohh. I have an affection for orange, so though that was not what I was looking for, it looks fantastic. I'm a kind of bright colour guy - I'd likely have my RS4 in Orange or yellow.
 
They had to post something - and 5,1 s is still a good time for a car which weighes more than 2 tons with driver and passenger.

Here's a quick comparison with the Supertested RS5:

Model: RS4 Avant / RS5
  • Tyres: Pirelli P Zero / Pirelli P Zero
  • Weight: 1873 kg / 1880 kg
  • 100-200 kph: 12,3 s / 11,2 s
  • 80-120 kph in 5th gear: 6,4 s / 6,9 s
  • 80-120 kph in 6th gear: 8,4 s / 8,9 s
  • 80-120 kph in 7th gear: 11,2 s / 12,0 s
  • 80-160 kph in 5th gear: 13,0 s / 13,7 s
  • 80-160 kph in 6th gear: 18,0 s / 18,6 s
  • 18 m slalom: 67,2 kph / 67,9 kph
  • Hockenheimring: 1.14,9 min / 1.14,3 min

Kind of a surprise to see the RS4 being lighter than the RS5, what differences were there in spec tested? Also less weight should have yielded better acceleration considering all else was the same which proved true in-gear but not allout acceleration.
 
I have to say I´m not 100% convinced by the side air intakes of the front bumper. I think I prefer the RS5 style.

Where is that Swedish cartest in this site, where the new Audi RS4 Avant beat M3 E92 in track?
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
