Prior to their July 24 showroom debut, the redesigned 2021 Audi RS4 Avant and 2021 Audi RS5 twins have now received Australian pricing.
Along with fresh style and new technologies, both lines gain from the same pencil-sharpening price reductions that have been implemented across other Audi RS vehicles in recent months.
The RS4 Avant wagon’s starting price for the 2021 model year is $147,900 before on-road expenses, which is a reduction from the hot wagon’s initial starting price of $152,900 in early 2018.
The starting prices for the RS5 Coup and RS5 Sportback are both $150,900 before on-road expenses, which is a significant reduction from the $157,700 starting price revealed in late 2018.
According to claims, the RS5 twins and RS4 Avant can reach 100 km/h in 3.9 and 4.1 seconds, respectively.
The RS4 and RS5s have WLTP (‘real world’) test cycle fuel economy ratings of 9.5 and 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers, respectively. The respective carbon emissions are 215g/km and 214g/km.
The RS4 and RS5 models have new ‘RS1’ and ‘RS2’ driving modes that can be swiftly customized “for specialized high-performance settings,” just like the RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback unveiled in early June.
For the 2019 model year, all lines receive a stylistic update, more significant for the RS4 Avant but no less noticeable for the dual RS5 coupe and liftback sedans.
The RS4 does away with the hooked headlamp design that previously dominated the brand’s appearance in addition to having new bumpers on both ends and revised LED trademark lighting in both situations.
A head-up display, 360-degree cameras, adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go and traffic jam help, park assist, Audi pre-sense front and rear, active lane assist, alarm, and external mirrors with auto-dimming features are just a few of the standout features for these three heroes.

Audi RS4: A supercar or not?
Review of the Audi RS4 Avant from 2022: a practical supercar with trunk capacity. The preceding Audi RS4 Avant from the B8 generation had a wild, barnstorming V8. The 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 used in this new B9-generation Audi RS4 Avant is the same engine found in its RS5 stablemates.
Is the RS4 a V8?
The Audi RS4 Avant is a high performance estate that combines supercar performance with a ton of utility. The 2015 Mercedes C63 AMG Estate is the RS4’s main competition as BMW doesn’t offer an estate version of its M3. The Audi, in contrast to the Mercedes, has a non-turbo engine that generates 444 horsepower and drives all four wheels through the company’s renowned quattro transmission, which has a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox.
What is the value of an Audi R8?
What Is the Price of the Audi R8? The starting price of the 2021 Audi R8 is $142,700, one of the highest in the luxury sports vehicle market. The top-of-the-line R8 Performance convertible costs $208,100. See if your local Audi dealer is participating in our U.S. News Best Price Program for fantastic savings.
The cost of the Audi RS5
The 2019 Audi RS 5 Coupe and Sportback’s starting price is $75,195 (with a $995 destination charge). As to be expected, the cost is slightly higher than the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe’s base price of about $70,000 and the $70,145 base price of the BMW M4.
Audi S4 has a turbo?
The high-performance version of Audi’s small executive car, the A4, is called the S4. The original Audi S4, which was produced from 1991 to 1994, was a sportier variation of Audi’s 100saloon/sedan. Since 1997, the Audi A4 has served as the foundation for all succeeding S4 models. As the A4 has changed from one generation to the next, so has the S4.
The S4 has always received numerous improvements over its more mainstream 100 and A4 siblings, including a more potent internal combustion engine, larger improved brakes, a stronger suspension, larger wheels, and distinctive sheetmetal, design cues, and badging. The S4 is the top-of-the-line trim of the A4 family in markets where the even more potent Audi RS 4 is not available. [1][2]
All S4 variations have had front-mounted, longitudinally orientated engines, just as their normal A4 counterparts. The original C4 version used a 2.2-liter inline five-cylinder turbocharged engine, but the B5 generation used a 2.7-liter twin turbocharged V6 engine. The BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG, which at the time featured a 3.2 L inline 6-cylinder engine, were in direct rivalry with the B6 and B7 versions due to their shared 4.2 L V8 engine, which was the first time a V8 engine was installed in a compact executive automobile. The B8 generation is in competition with the Mercedes-Benz C350, the BMW 335i, and the BMW 335i/340i xDrive thanks to its supercharged 3.0-liter V6 TFSI engine. [1] Instead of a supercharger like the previous generation, the recently released B9 generation is propelled by a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine. The Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG/Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC and BMW M340i xDrive are rivals of this generation. [3] [4]
All S4 models feature a transaxle-style transmission that is longitudinally located directly behind the engine, and like all Audi “S” models, the S4 is only offered as standard with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) system, which employs a Torsen-based center differential system.
[5]
Since the model’s introduction in 1991, all variants of the S4 have been produced at Audi’s facility in Ingolstadt, Germany; they are, or have been, offered in four-door, five-seat saloon and five-door, five-seat Avant (Audi’s designation for an estate car/station wagon) body styles. In the B6 and B7 generation A4 lines, a two-door, four-seat Cabriolet (convertible) S4 variation was offered. The Audi S5 nameplate is used to advertise the “S” variation of the B8 Cabriolet, which is now manufactured using the A5 coupe body type.
Audi S4: Is it turbocharged?
The S4 has a powerful 3.0-liter V-6 engine with supercharging that produces 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is the default, although a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is also an option. Through Audi’s quattro system, power is distributed to all four wheels.
Why does RS4 exist?
Italy uses the RS4 Codici railway protection system. The phrase stands for Ripetizione Segnali a 4 codici (signal repetition system with 4 codes).
It is a basic cab signaling system that shows the aspect of the upcoming signal (and, in some situations, the signal that is only one signal away). Even in low visibility and at high speeds, the driver can dependably discern the aspect of the upcoming signal with its assistance.
The Blocco Automatico a Correnti Codificate (BAcc) in the rails uses amplitude modulation of a 50 Hz alternating current to transmit the information. A locomotive’s or a control car’s first axle is where receiver coils are utilized to detect the signal.
The modulating signal’s frequency carries the signal aspect information:
transmission breakdown (e.g. on a siding not equipped with the required track circuitry)
The train is about to encounter a dead end, a partially occupied, or a track with particularly short braking distance, or the next signal is at “stop.”
The following signal is set to “continue,” but the one after that is set to “stop” or shows a speed limit.
Within three seconds of a code change, the driver must accept it by pushing the RIC button; otherwise, the system will activate the emergency brakes.
An extra set of codes broadcast with a 178 Hz carrier were introduced as trains became quicker. Because trains unable to receive the 178 Hz codes would be forced to go at a slower pace, the new system was backward compatible with the previous 4-code system. The following are the additional five codes:
Is the RS4 from Audi twin turbo?
A new 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, jointly developed with Porsche, debuted with this iteration of the RS4. This particular V6 is used in Porsche’s Cayenne S and Panamera S as well as the revised Macan Turbo, in addition to the RS4 and RS5. The RS4 only has an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, as opposed to the preceding V8’s dual-clutch transmission.
The standard Quattro all-wheel-drive system distributes power to all four wheels, mechanically split 40:60 front-to-rear, while either axle can actively receive more depending on the amount of available traction. A Sport Differential that can mechanically distribute torque across the rear axle is standard equipment on all UK vehicles. Although Vorsprung variants also have Audi Sport’s Dynamic Ride Control system, which uses a set of four hydraulically cross-linked dampers for enhanced support during hard cornering, suspension is still made of coil springs with adjustable dampers as standard.
In 2007, how much did an Audi RS4 cost?
The highly anticipated sport sedan’s pricing was revealed by Audi of America on April 13 at the New York International Auto Show. The RS 4 will cost $66,000 upon launch in June, not including destination and gas-guzzler fees of $720 each.
Audi’s ultimate prefix, RS, surpasses the S models and denotes the highest level of performance. Only one RS model has been offered to American customers: the 2003 RS6, an A6 that roars with a blown, 450-hp V-8. The 20002001 RS4 was a 375horsepower, twinturbocharged screamer built from the firstgeneration Audi A4 Avant, and the RS6 was technically the third Audi RS, following the 199495 RS2 (based on the Audi 80 wagon) and the RS4. A significant departure would be to stop using turbocharging. The new naturally aspirated, direct-injection V-8 in the RS4 is incredibly quick, addictively light-footed, and capable of producing greater power and torque. The 2006 RS4’s 420 horsepower allows it to reach 60 mph in an impressive 4.8 seconds. The new RS4 is equipped with a six-speed stick shift, as opposed to the most previous RS, the RS6, which had a five-speed automatic. The clutch action is light and progressive, and the shift linkage is swift and seamless. All four wheels receive torque from the transmission, however the rear wheels are given priority. For usage in the RS4, Audi changed the Quattro drivetrain’s front/rear torque split from 50/50 to 40/60 in an effort to close the gap against BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The front wheels can focus on turn-in and braking because the rear wheels are receiving a larger proportion of the activity now. As a result, the steering is light and linear but still lacks the telepathy and communication of the greatest rear-wheel-drive competitors.
Huge brake rotors (14.7 inches in front and 12.8 inches in back) taken from a Lamborghini Gallardo kill energy with the finiteness of a master switch, repeatedly, tenaciously, and only gradually exhibiting small evidence of fading. The discs are periodically brushed dry while in the wet to increase reaction and stopping force. Americans may not be familiar with the RS4, but they won’t mistake it for a standard A4 when it finally makes its way to the United States this spring. the quicker Front and back bumpers on the Audi are bloated and Botoxed, there is a ton of brightwork, more air intakes, fat fourteen-spoke wheels, and two chromed tailpipes with pornographic diameter. Inside, there are overdone bucket seats, elegant custom instruments, the increasingly common but completely useless starter button, and a posh steering wheel with chrome spokes and a flat bottom like on a racing vehicle. Pushing the S button with your left thumb will speed up the throttle response, increase cabin noise, and pneumatically reduce the side bolsters until they become painful. The driving position is too high up, and while the cockpit is neatly designed and put together, the presentation is a bit ritzy. The new RS4 is a step in the right direction in a number of respects. The powerful, naturally aspirated engine is significantly more engaging than the turbos; the brakes, grip, traction, and roadholding are just amazing; and the retuned Quattro hardware eliminates many layers of indifference from the steering and transmission. The good news is that. A poor ride, which affects the vehicle dynamics, is the bad news. Additionally, even though the upgraded Quattro technology really helps, the chassis feel is still not adequately three-dimensional. The new RS4 is a more enjoyable car to drive than the lifeless and chilly RS6, but it’s still a bit too cool and polished to ignite the passion of die-hard rear-wheel-drive fans.
