Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the RS4 Avant, Audi has introduced to its line-up a special-edition model boasting an array of performance-focused upgrades, the most notable of which coming in the shape of an uprated powertrain, tweaks to the suspension, and the fitment of carbon-ceramic brakes, housed in 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa rubber, as standard. However, in addition to the latter tyres, the package ships with a set of Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tyres, specifically designed for track use.

For the limited-edition RS4 Avant, the brand with the four rings has tuned the standard 2.9-litre V6 engine, which, as a reminder, produces 331 kW, to now deliver 346 kW, an increase of 15 kW. Torque output has remained unchanged, with the turbocharged unit churning out 600 N.m from 2 000 to 5 000 r/min.

In addition, the increase in power has resulted in a quicker 0-100 km/h sprint time. According to the Ingolstadt-based brand, the RS4 Avant edition 25 years completed the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.7 seconds, four-tenths of a second quicker than the standard model. The top speed has also increased. The special edition maxes out at 300 km/h. (As a reminder, the standard RS4 Avant’s top speed is electronically governed to 250 km/h, or 280 km/h when ticking the correct option box).

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
