The All-new 2007 Audi RS 4
More Power Under Greater Control
Combining motorsport technology with functional perfection, the all-new 2007 Audi RS 4 is a dynamic and sporty concept on the road, capable of thrilling its driver in every situation, whether in everyday driving or on the race track. September's Robb Report wrote, "Beneath the aluminium hood is the 8-cylinder heart of a race car." European Car
(October 2005) nicknamed the machine, "a race car shrouded in civilian clothing." Developed by Audi subsidiary quattro GmbH, the RS 4 illustrates quattro's continued tradition of bridging the gap between motorsport technology and a high standard of practical value for
everyday use. The "RS" abbreviation stands for unmatched performance, technological innovation, and unique driving dynamics.
The RS 4 features a compact, highrevving V8 4.2 FSI? direct injection engine, featuring 420 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque (European performance data), and a 6 speed manual gearbox. The RS 4's eight-cylinder power unit provides maximum thrust and performance, with the FSI? technology reaching a new highpoint. The RS 4 accelerates to
60 mph in 4.8 seconds and reaches 120 mph in an astonishing 16.6 seconds. The RS 4 also features Audi's Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) featuring variable shock absorption, and a new generation of quattro drive with asymmetric/dynamic torque distribution. The combination of quattro drive, DRC, and suspension specifically geared to the RS 4 allows this outstanding high-performance Audi to hold the road safely, even in the absolute limit ranges at top cornering speeds, by diminishing pitch and roll. The RS 4 impressive brake system features cross-drilled and ventilated brake discs, eightpiston front fixed callipers, and single-piston swing callipers on the rear wheels. This enables the Audi RS 4 to offer supreme stopping power and directional stability. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), with its dry braking function, provides an additional boost to safety.
The RS 4 comes standard with attractive 19" cast aluminum, 7-double spoke, RS 4 specific wheels, as well as Recaro? seats featuring an RS 4 logo and leather piping.
