The ring fighter
The RS 4 Avant is so rather the most powerful, which has to at present offer the mark with the four rings. Audis everyday life-suited combination convinced with famosen, 420 HP strong V8 and very agilem handling two hearts strike in its chest. On the one hand R-S is 4 Avant the gediegene A4 combination nearly like that, as we know it: fresh form, a little lifestylig, superb finished, enriched also few added from the sport department such as bowl seats, flattened sport steering wheel and broad wheel housings, which are filled out in the best way by wheels of the dimension 255/40 R 18. Which like a skillfully rigged A4 Avant looks, it has however fist-thickly under the aluminum hood, as turns out with the pressure on the starter button. Bollernd takes up the 4.2 litres large Direkteinspritzer-V8 its work. Still it geizt neither with optical attractions (valve hoods in red wrinkled finish paint) with achievement. the V8 releases 420 HP on the four wheels - everything without turbo-support. R-S 4 is not nevertheless a nervous running horse, which functions only in full gallopp. In the opposite. Bitingly the V8 already proceeds starting from idling speed, without swallowing itself thereby. If one hunts the number of revolutions in all of the six courses to to the limit of 8250 revolutions, which can be switched butter-softly, points our government inspection department-supported measuring instrument for keeps in track to 100 km/h only 4.9 seconds on, which corresponds accurately to the factory specification. Already after 17.5 seconds speed 200 is reached, with 250 ends the acceleration urge in the electronic limiter. Despite its combat weight of over 1700 kilograms R-S knows 4 Avant far more, than fast straightforward drive. Willingly the Allradler without excessive Untersteuern gives in. To it also the hydraulically working Wankstabilisierung (dynamic Ride control) has its portion, which cures the side inclination to the combination. The variable quattro drive with a standard force distribution of 40 per cent in front and 60 per cent in the back permits brachiales accelerating from the curve. Well brakes to be dosed and the efficient are inferior to that in nothing, and even the suspension comfort does not remain on the distance. And is there also which too meckern? Refrained from the price (71500 euro) and from test consumption (14.2 litres per 100 km) actually not.
