If ever its rivals have a slight edge M3, C63 etc with motoring journalists its the "WOW' factor offered by rear wheel drive. My dream RS would have a button similar to the 'S' that disengages quattro and sends all 414 bhp to the rear. Traction control off = smoke. Doubt I would use that often but i...

4.2-V8 chrome badge - needed?

While surfing through some youtube vids I notice one RS4 had a chrome badge with 4.2L-V8. It seemed similar in font to the RS4 style and they where mounted above the side indictators. Any ideas where I can order 3?

RS4 makes you drive like an idiot?

With the exception of a fortunate few in Europe the rest of us are limited to 60mph. Exceeding this limited for extended periods of time is bound to cost a lot of money (no points sytems in RSA - only fines). I therefore find myself travelling to work and entering the slow lane at 40mph, spot the ga...

Thx for the input .... seems my 'spluttering cold start' will soon be resolved? Is their anyway you can tell what version ECU you have without going to the dealer?

Jezzer pls elaborate on the 'removal of vacuum pipes' is this the same effect a 'S' button?

Anybody know of genuine 'Run Flat' tyres

I had Pirrelli P-Zero 255/39's fitted which I was informed are 'run-flat' tyres. (Due to the lack of a spare this was important to me). Having cased some damage (driver error) to my front left I can assure that Pirrelli P-zero's have a very thin outer wall and cannot even support the car at 5mph. An...

Freind of mine with a Disco3 is also begging me to give it a go. Claims are 20Kw and 50 Nm for RS4. Problem is he has'nt done it to his M5 yet so I ain'y gonna be the guinea-pig.

How many B7 RS4's will be manufactured??

Anyone know how many B7's Audi expects to roll off the production florr and when will production end. In South Africa it would seem Audi have a total quota of 170 units, thats it. Would certainly increase the value if the numbers are limited.

RE: How do you drive your RS4

mjh ... I think the correct way to put would be, if you hammer it everyday will it last?? Based on the input from a recent topic 'abused RS4' I would say so far, yes. It seems that the RS4's used for the Audi experience (Silverstone etc) are well ... abused as it was correctly put. I have requested ...

Simple1 - I would recon 170 is about max with or without the limiter. Do you believe a higher topend can be achieved?

Mirkop, New RS4 in South Africa costs the equivilent of Oz dollars 109,000. (around $77K American) - total allocation for the country is 170 units. As mentioned you certainly have huge premiums on European cars downunder as you all mentioning around $180K new - 35% cheaper in South Africa.
