Review: 2008 Audi RS4
My buddy Chris was beaming as his body pressed into the two-tone Recaro on the passenger side. "This thing is completely unbelievable," he said, his voice a blend of awe and disbelief. Around us, the scenery flicked by as the crisp Sunday morning air was sucked in through the open windows. The radio was on, but the volume was turned all the way down.

First Drive: 2012 Audi RS4 Avant [w/video] 1344959640

Right on schedule, Audi has unleashed a flood of details and images highlighting the 2012 RS4 Avant.

Downsizing? What downsizing? While rivals may be replacing cylinders with turbochargers – heck, even Audi itself has done that with the twin-turbo V8 succeeding the V10 in the S8 and such – the new RS4 is reportedly on its way in full-fat 4.2-liter V8 FSI trim. The report comes courtesy of AMAG, the importer for Audi in Switzerland, which has ...

Spy Shots: Audi RS4 Avant caught on the right track 1301504460
Despite the rumors of its demise, the next-generation Audi RS4 appears to be on track (literally) based on this mule that our spy shooters have just spied on Germany's Nürburgring. Seen here testing in the all-too-desirable Avant body style, the next RS4's final design will likely be a bit more aggressive, incorporating a much more pronounced front ...
