B5 RS4's - How many produced in total

[GI60S]

Sorry for rather school buy trivia question - but does anyone know globally how many RS4's (B5's) were manufactured?

Thanks JM

and on a sub note how many were right hand drive, sorry thread jack.

[andream88]

IIRC 6030 cars produced.
about 400 of them were RHD.

more than 400 right hand drive because 400 were allocated for UK and there were a handful of personal imports. Lets not forget about the other countries that have right hand drive, Hong Kong, New Zealand to name a few.

This has come up again, here's the figures from the DVLA.

There are 506 RS4s (only 2 of which were imports) manufactured between 2000 and 2002 that are still registered with the DVLA.

is that 504 right hand drives. thought there was only 400 then counting ones that have bee written off i was expecting around 350 rhd to be left.

[nevetsuk]

sorry 506

[Contigo]

504 RHD registered between 2000 and 2002 which are still registered today.

400 is a figure I've heard before but I think it's out. Audi sold more than 400 and this is backed up by the data request I made.

Presumably the other 2 are left hookers (imports) depending on which continent they came from.

mmmmmmmmmm you prob spot on but ive seen alot of left hookers being sold over here which is more than 2, prob they not registered over here but they had uk plates so must have been. ive seen one near me a while back a black one nice but if your in the uk u gota have rhd. bit gutted as i thought there was less lol. gonna have to sell mine n get a lambo reventon now .

Still rare as rocking horse manure mate.

I have seen more than 2 RHD imports for sale, there are more than 2 LHD around on UK plates!
Could it be 400 officially imported and a number of unofficial imports, some of which are RHD?
Also does the word import at DVLA mean a car registered overseas previous to being used here as opposed to a grey import which was declared new in UK?
Having said that it seems weird that the 400 for UK were sold before they arrived in late 2000 but there are cars registered as late as March 2002 - which makes me wonder if they lashed up some more to meet demand.

Maybe the 400 is the figure we all recall because it was in all the original press reports but once the road tests stopped being published, Audi AG decided to up the UK quota?

[nevetsuk]

i know i was only kidding. i saved for 4 years for mine ever since i first seen one i wanted one. not getting rid of mine for ages or at all.

[nevetsuk]

your prob right neckersulm
