Audi's previous generation A4, which was discontinued early in 2001, boasts the RS4 is its ultimate derivative. With a mammoth 380bhp driving through all four wheels, you'd expect it to be a pretty exciting drive. And you'd be right, but the RS4 also does refined cruising with ease on demand.
The RS4 was brought into the UK in extremely limited numbers, so getting hold of one will be extremely difficult. It also lacks the ultimate enjoyment factor of its BMW M5 rival. That said, its rarity ensures it will be a sought after car for much time to come.
