Mind-blowing performance. Incredible power. Total control. The high-reving 420 hp V8 4.2FSI®powerplant. A short-throw, six-speed manual with optimized synchromesh. The exclusive fully hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) suspension that all but eliminates pitch and roll. And a new version of quattro® all-wheel drive. The Audi RS 4. A radical departure in every way.

4.2 FSI V8 Engine
420 hp. 317 lb-ft of torque. The V8 FSI engine responds without delay, catapulting you from a standstill to 60 mph/100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The new high-revving drive concept means the Audi RS 4 delivers its enormous power and outstanding performance to the road across an extraordinarily wide rev range. After another 11.8 seconds you touch 125 mph/200 km/h.

6-Speed Manual Transmission
The 6-speed manual gearbox drives an integral self-locking center differential with an asymmetric, dynamic torque split between the front and rear axles. This device adapts automatically to changes in road grip, so that, if necessary, up to 100% of the available torque can be diverted to one of the axles.

Pedals
Alloy pedal set with rubber inserts for maximum grip and security.

Sport Mode
All RS 4 models also have a sport mode button that makes the accelerator throttle mapping more aggressive and increases the exhaust sound.
