Nowhere is Vorsprung durch Technik more evident than in the S-Series vehicles. From fluent Titronic tranmission shift points to the latest generation quattro® all-wheel drive, technology leads the way for performance, design and safety.

FSI ®
Experience the breakaway power of FSI ® Direct Injection technology. Increased torque and power with reduced exhaust emission compared to other spark-ignition engines. This race-bred technology squeezes every bit of available power from every drop of available fuel.

quattro®
This is the first Audi to use the asymmetric, dynamic torque split principle, which optimizes the road dynamics and emphasis the supreme character of the Audi RS 4. The advantages to a 40/60 split is more emphasis on power toward the rear of the vehicle for optimized cornering.

Electronic Stabilization Program
The ESP 8.0 electronic stabilization program has specific RS 4 settings and its own parameters for even sportier road dynamics. The program uses a combination of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), an innovative brake disc drying function and the traction control (ASR) system, to help make the RS 4 easier to control in handling situation close to the limit.

DRC
Dynamic Ride Control is only offered on RS models. DRC's hydraulic roll compensation varies the damping provided by each shock absorber. This means that cornering roll and pitching on braking or accelerating is reduced. The result is precise steering, even in fast maneuvers.
