Demo RS4 at Cardiff Audi

Post by flossymeister » Thu Feb 02, 2006 6:16 pm

Hi guys,

Just had the pleasure of sitting in a B7 RS4 - Cardiff Audi has their demo one in (as of two days ago). Its on display till March 1st, then will be registered for test drives (accompanied only, apparently). Very nice guy called Alan showed me round the car (and took the photos ! ;D

I haven't stopped smiling yet David! Amusingly, this was the LESS grinny picture of me. I look like I've just won the lottery in the other one with me in! Honestly, they are fantastic looking cars. All you guys with them on order are so lucky...... I'll have to wait 4 or 5 years I think before I can get one (or move out of research science and get a better paying job :D)

must be a bad photo - looks great in the flesh. Very subtle to the untrained eye. Few obvious differences from a B7 A4.... until you look carefully. The brake callipers for instance! here's a rear quarter picture.....

At the risk of making myself unpopular, I think the B7 RS4 looks fantastic.

I agree Dave, having seen it in the flesh it looks FANTASTIC!! I love the B5 RS4s too (realistically looking like my next purchase ;) because I can't find an RS2 I'm happy with), but this is much subtler. Both are great looking cars, but in different ways I think.

I'm still smiling 6 hours later, and i only sat in it!

must be love...... :D

here's a front shot I took (rather than the salesman). Its not the best angle for B7 cars generally, i think, but this shot's a bit better (if i say so myself ;) )

Finally, here's the engine bay. Only took a quicky unfortunately. Still, it was really nice to see a "proper" engine bay again, rather than the black box of most modern cars. You can actually see all the bits, whihc is a nice change! Well done Audi!
