Audi RS 4 Avant 5 Anyone who chooses an Audi wants to experience sporty driving behaviour, attractive design and innovative technology. Anyone who chooses the Audi RS 4 Avant gets much more besides: the performance and driving dynamics of a powerful sports car combined with a high degree of functionality and practicality. Without compromises. Audi through and through. And yet so much more. The Audi RS 4 Avant. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 60.
6 Audi RS 4 Avant Because challenges can never be challenging enough. Just press the accelerator to feel the irresistible force of the 4.2 litre V8 engine with its 331 kW. The FSI® direct fuel injection and the high-rev concept provide spontaneous responsiveness and outstanding elasticity. The Audi RS 4 Avant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. It then goes on to sprint effortlessly to its top speed of 250 km/h*. The pleasure can even continue up to 280 km/h* if you like.

Audi RS 4 Avant 9 Change gears faster, move ahead more athletically: with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission S tronic. It allows very quick gear changes with virtually no break in propulsive power. You can either let the S tronic change gears automatically or control it manually – with the selector lever or the paddles on the steering wheel. Either way, it will make for a distinctly sporty journey.
10 Audi RS 4 Avant Pure sportiness, athletic design. The Audi RS 4 Avant fascinates from every perspective. The slim xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running light strip provide it with an enticing look. The large air intakes in the front bumper are a good indication of the power tucked away behind them. The Audi Singleframe features the typical RS honeycomb grid in high-gloss anthracite, surrounded by a matt aluminium-look frame.

12 Audi RS 4 Avant Traction and agility – that’s what quattro was developed for. The Audi RS 4 Avant employs a special version of the permanent all-wheel drive. It operates with the self-locking centre differential and the wheel-selective torque control to distribute the drive force to each individual wheel as required and according to the driving situation. The result: even more precise handling, even better traction, even greater driving stability.

16 Audi RS 4 Avant The Audi RS 4 Avant is the top athlete in its series. Every detail is a clear reflection of this claim. Accentuated wheel arches and sill extensions define its side line. 19- and 20-inch aluminium wheels and the wave brake discs behind them further accentuate the side view. The gently backward-sloping roof line and shoulder section underline its dynamic appearance.

18 Audi RS 4 Avant Because greatness sets big things in motion. The impressive athleticism continues on the interior. The flat-bottomed RS leather-covered multifunction sport steering wheel provides good grip. The clear ergonomic design of the cockpit unites intuitive operation with the precision typical of Audi. The Audi RS 4 Avant combines its uncompromising sportiness with generous space capacity and a sophisticated ambience.

20 Audi RS 4 Avant The S sport seats, front, have RS 4 embossing on the backrest and have been designed for sporty driving. The seat upholstery is available either as a black Alcantara/leather combination or in fine Nappa leather in a choice of black or lunar silver with rock grey piping.

24 Audi ultra Audi ultra on the podium: the Audi R18 ultra Audi ultra: Every gram less extends the lead. Audi ultra, the pioneering lightweight technology from Audi, is more than just the sum of its individual components. It combines innovative materials, intelligent design principles and production processes that use resources sparingly into an overall concept. Many Audi ultra lightweight measures have already been implemented in the Audi RS 4 Avant. That starts with the body itself.
About weight reduction The demands placed on modern vehicles are contradictory. On the one hand, they must offer enhanced performance and comfort, on the other they need to be more economical and efficient. Audi ultra resolves this conflict by examining each and every component. We demand the highest functionality combined with the lowest possible weight. The result is an intelligent mix of materials that even allows a reduction in engine size: lighter vehicles no longer need a large engine to be agile.

It stands out through a high power yield and even power delivery.
28 S tronic® S tronic: 2 multi-plate clutches provide for a sporty dynamism without break in propulsive power and high efficiency. RS4_Avant_Fas18_2013_03.indd28 28 297x198_RS4_Fas09_RZ.indd 15.04.13 12.03.
What is the benefit of two clutches? A double saving: time and energy. A high-performance engine needs an adequate transmission. Which is why the Audi RS 4 Avant has a dual-clutch transmission that stands out through fast gear changing and a high degree of efficiency. The 7-speed S tronic comprises two multi-plate clutches and two transmission parts. These are both permanently active, but only one of them is actually connected to the engine.
30 quattro® The crown gear centre differential has disc sets to achieve higher blocking factors. This allows up to 85 % of the drive torque to be distributed to the rear axle and up to 70 % to the front axle. Why only use two wheels when a car has four? The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive. Those who know Audi know quattro. And once you have driven with the permanent all-wheel drive from Audi, you do not want to drive with anything else.
The quattro drivetrain in the RS 4 is a special version of the permanent all-wheel drive from Audi. It includes the self-locking crown gear centre differential and has wheel-selective torque control. RS4_Avant_Fas18_2013_03.indd31 31 297x198_RS4_Fas09_RZ.indd 30.04.13 18.02.
32 Suspensions Dynamic. Sporty. Self-assured. Your suspension shows plenty of character. Whether on long journeys or quick trips: the RS sport suspension gives the Audi RS 4 Avant excellent road handling and gives you poise. It combines precise steering characteristics, outstanding directional stability and high agility. The front axle is designed as a 5-link design. The links are connected on a front axle bearer made of aluminium which is bolted to the body for reasons of rigidity.
The RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) is based on the RS sport suspension. Thanks to the hydraulic links between the diagonal shock absorbers, the nodding and pitching movements of the vehicle are reduced, leading to an increase in driving dynamics. The damper recognition can be varied in three stages via Audi drive select: comfort, auto, dynamic. RS4_Avant_Fas18_2013_03.indd33 33 297x198_RS4_Fas09_RZ.indd 30.04.13 18.02.
34 Brake systems Nothing can stop a top athlete. Except for a top brake system. The standard 18-inch RS high-performance brake system takes a powerful hold with its 8-piston fixed callipers on the front axle. Its wave brake discs comprise a cast friction ring with a waveshaped outer contour which is connected to the brake disc chamber by means of aluminium pins.
19-inch ceramic brake* 18-inch RS brake system The brake discs on the front axle have a diameter of 365 mm and a wave-shaped outer contour. The high-gloss black painted brake callipers bear the RS logo. The brake discs on the front axle have a diameter of 380 mm. The high-gloss anthracite painted brake callipers bear the “Audi ceramic” logo. * Please consult your Audi partner or national Audi website to find out more about the special features of the ceramic brake.

66 The fascination of Audi Discover t The Audi experience The fascination of Audi can be experienced in many different ways. Audi City in London, for example, gives you digital access to all models at their actual size and in real time. And of course it is always worth visiting one of the major motor shows. This is where Audi always presents its new models and invites you to take a look at how the future is being shaped with “Vorsprung durch Technik”.
Responsibility Living up to our responsibilities is a principle that is firmly anchored in Audi strategy. Alongside commercial success and international competitiveness, our responsibility toward company employees and society as a whole is a key consideration, as is protecting the environment and conserving resources.
