I like these quotes :
You wouldn't do it to a car you actually owned, but testing the RS4's acceleration involves slipping your foot sideways off the clutch with just under 6,000rpm on the rev counter. Like a character in a Roadrunner cartoon, the Audi leaps in the air, spins its wheels, lands and just goes. It's one of the most amazing road-testing experiences.

You could get in a lot of trouble with this car if you abuse the incredibly high levels of grip

From memory, the original cars had Pirelli tyres

"6 piston brakes and an RS2 with more than one turbo." Some dodgey info but an interesting read
