New dimensions in driving dynamics combined with innovative ideas and concepts – and, in addition, exciting lines and a level of equipment living up to even the highest luxury performance standards: The new Audi RS 4 combines the latest high-performance motoring qualities offered by quattro GmbH in a thoroughbred sports saloon with supreme everyday driving qualities in the premium segment. Indeed, the new RS 4 is the top-of-the-range model in the A4 series, a development all-new from the ground up.

 

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.

 

Audi’s FSI technology has already proven its qualities impressively in Audi’s four-time Le Mans winner, the Audi R8.

 

A further essential point in the brief given to Audi’s development engineers was to optimise the car’s power-to-weight ratio, avoiding every superfluous gram on the Audi RS 4. Accordingly, virtually every component was checked and cross-checked for minimum weight. The front wheel arches and the engine compartment lid are therefore made of aluminium, just like most components on the chassis and suspension. The specially designed RS bucket seats, in turn, are not only very light, but also offer extremely good body support in every situation.

 

The result is a power-to-weight ratio of just 3.93 kilos per bhp – a figure truly reminiscent of a thoroughbred sports car, which would not even have been conceiv-able just a few years ago in a midrange saloon.

 

New generation of quattro driveDesign

 

The RS 4 features racing technology in civilian clothes. While many of its features look similar to the new Audi A4, the RS 4 is far more than just a “fast” derivative of Audi’s highly successful midrange saloon. Quite simply because the car is an almost entirely brand-new development tailored to the highest performance requirements.

 

The single-frame radiator grille, the rear section with the distinctly horizontal orientation of the car’s lines, and the side surfaces with the shoulder line plastically filling in the car’s contours, all prove that the RS 4 is a member of the A4 family. However, the radiator grille in diamond look, the additional air intake scoops in the front section, as well as the wheels developed specifically for the RS 4, clearly set the car aside from a “normal” Audi A4.

 

The newly designed rear air dam encompassing two extra-large tailpipes as well as the discreet but highly effective spoiler integrated in the luggage compartment lid and the rear side panels all bear clear testimony to the saloon’s dynamic driving potential also in terms of their looks. Compared with the Audi A4, the entire body of the car has been lowered by 30 millimetres. And at the same time the development engineers at quattro GmbH have widened the car’s track both front and rear. At the end of the day, however, all these modifications to the body of the car are significant not only in terms of design, but also above all in terms of function.

Inside, the RS 4 combines the straightforward function of a sports car with the luxurious ambience so typical of all Audi models. The dominating materials are leather, aluminium, and carbon. But at the same time the RS 4 comes with all the additional qualities so typical of a genuine sports car.

 

This superiority becomes clear immediately when you take your seats in the car: The RS bucket seats with their high side sections provide excellent support. A further feature of these bucket seats is the control button on each seat for inflating the side support elements adjusting perfectly to the driver’s anatomy. The sports steering wheel tapering down at the bottom and the engine starter button on the centre console, in turn, are also clearly reminiscent of motorsport, just like the aluminium pedals.

 

You start the engine of the Audi RS 4 by pressing the starter button housed conveniently in the centre console right next to the driver. Pressing the sports button in the steering wheel, in turn, the driver is able to modify the gas pedal control map, giving the engine even sharper and more direct response.

 

Features and Equipment

 

Driving the Audi RS 4 means driving a sports car without making any concessions. Right from the start, therefore, the RS 4 comes with virtually all the features already boasted by the Audi A4. Apart from a wide range of advanced safety components, this also means high-comfort automatic air conditioning, central locking with remote control, and electric window lifts at the front. Further features of the RS 4 include the acoustic parking system at the front and rear, the Concert radio system, as well as sports suspension with variable damper control (DRC). Furthermore, the purchaser of an Audi RS 4 can also opt for a particularly high standard of comfort amenities such as Audi’s navigation system plus or dynamic adaptive light headlights literally guiding the driver round bends in the road.

Sinnsykt for en bil! Den likte jeg :)

Vet du hvor mye den gamle stv RS4 veier??

[BLACK.PEARL]

Ååååååååååååååååh steike!!!

Dette så helt gull ut :D

 

Mer av dette!

[bjarne]

Romskipratt er harry.

[triggerhappy]

430nm? Er det en spøk?

 

Er det turbo eller ikke?

[Solberg-]

430nm? Er det en spøk?

 

Er det turbo eller ikke?

 

Ifølge linken er det ikke turbo nei...4,2 V8...samme motoren som sitter i dagens S4. Synes ikke 430 Nm er "forferdelig" mye i forhold til dagens RS6 som har 560 Nm (hvis jeg ikke husker helt feil?)... Men uansett, noe av det peneste jeg har sett fra Audi ass! Gleder meg til denne er tilgjengelig for prøvekjøring! Selv om det er forbeholdt de færreste av oss tenker jeg..:)

Mente heller at det var lite? 430nm på en v8 med 420hk er jo lite.

Er ikke rart det er lite siden rødmerkinga er på 8250rpm.

[JungHanz]

Inni der tror jeg at jeg faktisk kunne tenkt meg å bo.

Nesten rart at det ikke var tiptronic på bildene......

[speedy]

tragisk at Audi går mer og mer fra turbo..

 

personlig synes jeg de grommeste motorne til Audi har vært 2,2 20v turbo og 2,7 biturbo

 

*min personlige mening bare*

 

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Mye tror du nokia betalte for å ha den mobilen der da?

Mente at det var lite ja.

Hvorfor er alle så opptatt av dreiemoment? Det er jo ikke dreiemomentet i seg selv som akselererer bilen, men motorens evne til å utføre arbeid vet dere. På en sportbil, som dette vist nok skal være, så er det jo viktigere med akselerasjon enn komfortabelt bunndrag.

 

430nm er heller ikke lite på en 4,2 liters motor uten overladning. Uten overladning klarer man ikke ta ut særlig med enn 100nm pr. liter uansett. Fordelen er at man får en mye bredere dreiemomentkurve enn med en turbomotor da. Denne motoren hadde vel 80-100% tilgjengelig moment over omtrent alle 8000rpm'ene. Samme som gamle risraketten min det ; bra Audi også endelig har funnet ut at man trenger ikke ofre toppdraget for å få til en flat og bred momentkurve :hello:.

 

Den går jo uansett bedre enn den gamle RS4'en da ;)

[BLACK.PEARL]

De vil vel vise mest mulig sportslighet når de avbilder med manuelt gir, ELLER at TipTronic eller hva den auto-kassa heter ikke er ferdig utviklet eller for svak.

 

Hadde vært fett med trinnløs DSG kasse sombrero

meg ble ganske nysgjerrig på den runde, fine knappen i midtkonsollen jeg da :rolleyes:

[kholand]

er nok no "engine start"
