Get the Best Priced Audi RS4 Parts

"A compact executive sports car" sounds like an obscure way to describe a car, but that is exactly what you will find in the sporty, upscale version of the Audi A4 known as the Audi RS4. The RS moniker is taken from the German language phrase translated into English as "racing sport." The RS4 is the highest Audi trim level for the regular S Series models of automobile. Audi utilized the RS4 as a pioneering platform for the latest technology advances that would later be introduced into other models and configurations. The Audi RS4 was produced in three, non-consecutive model generations between 2000 and 2015.

The first generation was built on the Volkswagen group's B5 platform and was available for the 2000 and 2001 auto model years. Known as the Audio RS4 Avant quattro, the RS4 was related to the Audi B5 S4 but the RS4's body panels were redesigned. The RS4 styling integrated unique bumpers (front and rear), side panels, and spoilers. Aerodynamic modifications were made in the design to give the car a more sporty vibe. The power train--with its Bosworth engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, BorgWarner twin superchargers, modified intake and exhaust, and recalibrate electronic engine control--gave the Audi RS4 sports-car comparable performance. The little wagon could go from 0 to 60 in just under five seconds and the top speed was limited to 162 miles per hour.

After a five year hiatus, the next generation of the RS4 was designed for the B7 underbody, and was available for the model years of 2006 through 2008. Only a few thousand of these cars were sold in the US, and a very limited number were built for the world market. This generation of RS4 was very different from the earlier cars. It came in two primary configurations (five door wagon or four door sedan) and a very limited number of two-door convertible models were also available. Upgrades to this generation included everything from the unibody chassis design, adaptive headlights, BOSE ten speaker sound system, navigation system, and other luxury options. This model also introduced the latest evolution of the "quattro" permanent four-wheel drive system promised to be "more neutral and corners" and offer the driver "a more dynamic experience."

The most recent iteration of the RS4 was manufactured for the 2012 through 2015 model years. Built on the Volkswagen MLB/B8 platform, the latest and greatest RS4 boasts engine upgrades that reduce the 0-62 time to 4.7 seconds and includes more advanced and powerful breaking systems. The all-wheel drive "quattro" system remains, and the gearbox has been upgraded to a 7-speed automatic.
