The new Audi RS4 Avant, unveiled
for the 2018 model year, is a serious bit of kit and more than matches its
performance with absolutely stunning interior and exterior looks. This performance car painted in Sonoma Green and posing at the glorious Gerlos
Pass in the Austrian Alps.
Sonoma Green is only offered through the Audi
Exclusive program and, despite not being very common on Audi Sport models, we
think it is one of the finest colors in Audi’s current palette. Contrasted
against the white of the snow and ice in Austria, the green pops and draws your
eyes to the RS4’s sculpted body.
Looking inside, the cabin of the new RS4
Avant is also very similar to the RS6, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. As
such, there are beautiful seats with quilted leather stitching, an attractive
three-spoke, flat-bottomed steering wheel and Audi’s sleek center console
design. Going on looks alone, we prefer the RS4 Avant over the M3 and C63
Estate – but that’s just us…
The RS4 Avant is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo
V6 engine delivering 444 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque with power transmitted
through an eight-speed automatic transmission to the Quattro all-wheel drive
system.
