Bumping my old thread for anyone still interested...

Finally got a new ride after 8/9 months of looking/waiting!

MY07 Audi RS4 - 4.2L 309Kw V8 Quattro AWD 6spd Manual

and a few more from a photoshoot over the long weekend...

Yes... it is awesome...

Awesome ride

Good luck with the mods

Awesome car! I was highly contemplating going for an RS4, but they are still out of my price range unfortunately.

Would be keen to know how fuel consumption compares to the Liberty and Evo.

Cheers Guys! It really is a sensational all round car... and for something that's been on the road 6 years and done ~70kms... It drives like a brand new car IMO!

Yeah... $$s are somewhat ridiculous, but when you consider it was ~$170k on the road new... It's not so bad! :roll:

Fuel consumption is better than I expected, but I do a lot of highway driving... I reckon I'll go close to cracking 500kms from 60L on my first tank, and thats with a lot of spirited driving with people wanting to go for rides etc... probably work out to about 550kms from a tank on average? So not far off what I got out of the Evo X really...

Cheers mate...

Yeah the S4 is the same V8 but not tuned to the same level(253Kw v 309Kw). Also, with the B7(my shape) it was not available in a manual.. equates to a 4.8sec to 5.8sec 0-100 time according to redbook.

RS4 gets monster 8-pot brakes up front with cross-drilled rotors all round.. bigger 19x9" rims, wider track front and rear but is still 100kg lighter than the S4... and then there are the seats!

Price new was about $32k more for the RS4 over the S4

Seriously sexy, except for the missing "Avant" bit.....

Not as good looking as the liberty IMO

How much quicker are these compared to a tuned GTB ?
