Here’s Your First Chance To Listen To The Incoming V6 Audi RS4
Last year the mighty Audi RS4 - a car we’re particularly fond of - was quietly dropped from the range. That’s a damn shame as it’ll be one of the last cars to have the company’s superb 4.2-litre N/A V8 fitted. A twin-turbo V6 replacement has been rumoured for a while, and the noise coming out of this prototype’s tailpipes all but confirms the loss of two cylinders.
Power-wise, we’re looking at around 480bhp, if the most recent reports are to be believed. Also, it’s looking like a saloon variant will be available, unlike the previous generation which was only ever produced as an estate.

The B8 will always be in my heart as a great RS Audi
V8 NA power FTW
Sounds pretty good to me !
I’d like the RS4 as a saloon - said no one ever
I’ll take a B7 RS4 Avant in Mugello Blue with that monstrous V8 rumble (and save £30k+).
Another victim of the horrible downsizing trend. Just get the older ones this is not worth it
Is this real life or Gran turismo?
Tested on the Nürburgring? May’s gonna love hearing that!
It’s sounds like a turbocharged V6. How strange…
I just want a saloon version of the RS6.
Sounds like the familiar Audi understeer
