This is the B8 generation of the Audi A4 and, as with any A4 generation, there’s no small wagon quite as scintillating as an RS4 Avant. The U.S. has never been gifted with this heavy hauler, and that is just one of life’s many injustices. Even with the previous B7 generation that Audi pushed hard to popularize worldwide, the stunning [...]

Audi RS4 Avant (2012) CAR review
The old RS2 – based on the Audi 80 and co-developed by Porsche – was such a big deal, in fact, that you could be forgiven for wondering how far we’ve actually come in arriving at 2012’s RS4. A 0.1sec improvement in 0-62mph acceleration and a 11mph gain in top speed (if the RS4 is [...]

The Truth vs. Fiends: German Malaise Edition
For many years people have been watching the ever-escalating, mostly-German horsepower wars and wondering “where’s it going to end?” First 400 hp was considered epic. Then that became de rigueur and 500 horses was the new black. Today (if you live in Europe) you can get twin-turbo V10 Audi station wagons that make (basically) 600 [...]
Monday Morning Video: Audi RS4 x Jacky Ickx x Vanina Ickx
Around here we think the Audi RS4 is one of the most desirable four doors ever made. During the media launch a couple of years back they introduced the car with this video. Jacky Ickx is one of the greatest living racing drivers of our time. Vanina, his daughter is a pretty hot shoe herself. [...]
Audi RS6 Sedan Brings the Hot Hot Lovin’ – Twin Turbo Style
It’s always a good day when Audi announces a new RS model. While the RS4 is guaranteed to blow your mind with 4.2 liters of pavement melting power, we haven’t seen an RS6 model since 2004. Back then, the 450 horsepower twin turbo V8 was enough to induce self-soiling amongst unknowing passengers that merely thought [...]
2010 Audi RS4, RS5 To Get Big Fat V8s
A couple of weeks ago we reported that Audi’s upcoming and completely drool-worthy RS5 would be getting a free-reving 4.2-liter FSI V8 good for 470 hp. Trouble is, we also reported that the next RS4 would be getting a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 , a variation of the mill found in the 2010 S4 but also [...]
2010 Audi RS5 Details
Audi has a clear target now for the RS5 in the current M3 coupe. So word is now leaking via Germany’s Autozeitung and out of Ingolstadt about how they plan on taking on the hallowed two door from Munich. The RS will be a serious step up on the regular S5. The heart of the [...]
Next Audi RS4 Gets Supercharged V6
If you’ve driven an RS4 — or an R8 — you know that the hopped up familial 4.2-liter V8 is one of the best engines ever created. And that’s not over-stating it. Word has come down the car blog pipe from Car to Autoblog that the next RS4 will get a force-fed V6. Shock! Horror! [...]
Audi: On A Roll…
I want to make a disclaimer if you’ve read my piece on the Audi R8. It may not be entirely unbiased. I’m somewhat besotted by this automotive work of art, and my constant urge to spread the word on it to anyone who’ll listen is a little obsessive. But I’m also finding that every time [...]
Neuspeed Audi S4 Exhaust
A car like the Audi S4 needs little, but there is always room for more performance. Hence the almighty RS4. But what if you want a few more ponies and a way better soundtrack? Enter Neuspeed and their performance exhaust. This system is made from T-304 stainless steel which means it pretty and should last [...]
BMW M3 Sedan
BMW dropped the M3 sedan with everyone still having erotic dreams of the M3 coupe. As we expect, the sedan is equipped with the same 414HP V8 found in the coupe as well as a similar balanced chassis. There is no mention of a direct shift or SMG transmission for the sedan but you are [...]
