The car absorbed all the features of corporate predecessors - mentally remove the badge, repaint the RS 4 in the low-key color and you're almost at a glance will recognize this rocket. The strength in the details - the front bumper with characteristic triangular sections, oval tailpipes of the exhaust system and, of course, inflated "hips" wheel arches, which barely fit 19-inch "rollers." And by the order and put the "20 th"! The same picture and the inside - a typical "audyushny" interior diluted sports "bucket», RS-wheel, pedals, carbon fiber trim a generous soul and heating stamped "320" on the speedometer, and "9" on the tachometer.

We climb under the hood!   The Audi decided not to reinvent the wheel a second time and simply installed in a "family" box stuffing by RS Coupe 5.

With the RS 5, "four" and went to the hydraulic system of repression rolls DRC. The RS 4 Avant boldly claims to be the most "drayverskogo" modern station wagon Audi. The stabilization system is not only a sport mode - it can be turned off completely. Clearance in comparison to conventional A4 reduced by 20 mm, and the huge wheels barely fit effective brakes with 365-millimeter discs. By order and establish a carbon-ceramic rotors with a diameter of 380 mm with six-piston calipers. By the way, composite brakes at the RS 4 first appear.
