"Arnaud Avus RS4" from Audipassion was invited by Audi France to test the new RS4 on the Le Mans Bugatti track 4 months before the launch in France. Definitively there are some who are very lucky. :wink:

*Edited: More RS4 pictures.*

Thank you for the photos Schwalbe.
The red valve covers really spice up the high-reving V8

I really like the sedan but the infamous avant looks like crap, i'de rather spend my money on putting the 4.2 TT in the last Avant and have a faster car and better looking car.

The Audi Avant presented is a B7 S4. :| The B7 RS4 Avant will be much better. :wink:

Your project to put a V8 4.2L biturbo engine in the B5 RS4 would be expensive, but I like the idea. :D

This new RS4 looks really agressive. :o :o

And this new N/A engine should be really good.

I prefer the M3 but the RS4 is an excelent choice too :wink:

Great Car
The only thing I don't like are the wheels.
They should be more agressive.
