2013 Audi RS4 Avant pictures leaked

We don't need to wait anymore. The Audi RS4 Avant is here. It seems that Audi has finally used the natural aspirated 4.2 FSI V8 used on the Audi RS5. This engine produces 450PS (444bhp) and 430Nm (317.15 lb-ft).

As with the RS5 Coupe and Convertible models, the RS4 Avant will be offered with a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system, while Ingolstadt's RS engineers will apply their experience on the suspension and the braking systems. An enormous 380mm carbon-ceramic brakes will be offered.

Separating the RS4 Avant from its less-powerful siblings will be a new aero kit that includes blistered wheel arches, bespoke front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a roof spoiler. The top end version of the A4 series will also get a modified front grille, RS-style twin oval tail pipes and 19 inches five-double spoke alloy wheels wrapped in beefier tires along with an enhanced interior featuring RS-specific sports seats and steering wheel.

More details coming at the Geneva Motor Show.

I'm not going to lie I was expecting more, no "wow" factor. But that's just me personally.

 

Agreed. I do like the rear valence and RS6-like fender flares. The front end leaves something to be desired and overall it's missing the aggressiveness of past RS models. And no proper manual? or is it standard with the 7-speed DSG as an option?

 

It looks just like the RS6, S6, S4, S5, RS5 etc etc. The same exhausts and the same grill. Guess it'll be a "middle-year" for the RS4.

 

A better resolution:

 

They put the wrong motor in it. Should have the V8TT from the S6 & A8

 

front bumper...GHEY...urg..

Wheels are badass thought

 

Amazamus you're Dutch?

 

maybe that will be going in the RS6 avant?

 

This thread needs more RS6 Avant.
