Audi RS 4

The Audi RS 4 is the high-performance variant of the Audi A4 range, produced by Audi Sport GmbH for Audi AG. It sits above the Audi S4 as the fastest and most sports-focused car based on the A4 B platform. The original B5 version, Typ 8D, was introduced in late 1999 for main production from 2000 and was available only as an Avant, built on the Volkswagen Group B5 platform; Audi made 6,030 units from 1999 to 2001. The B7 of the second generation came first as a four-door saloon with the Avant following, and a two-door Cabriolet was added later. The RS initials come from the German word RennSport. It is sold only with the Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive, and it was reintroduced in 2012 on the A4 Avant.
