Audi RS4 tuning available!
Ladies and gents, this is what we call a Legacy… No, we don’t mean the Subaru station-wagon, and we don’t mean “old and useless” either. We mean, it’s a real heritage from Audi. Only the RS4 and the RS5 has a naturally aspirated engine in the whole RS line-up. A dying breed that deserves its own monument in the hall of fame of raw power. Unfortunately in 15-20 years we’ll be left with nothing but some cherished mp3 files of V8 sounds – like those old records of steam engine noises. This 4.2 FSI V8 has been responsible for a lot of goosebumps, and grins in this past decade – it never fails to revive that 9-years-old boy that lives in every man. It’s not a surprise that it made it to the top 10 engines in 2005 and 2006. Audi knew very well that the main reason people will buy this metal alpha male is the driving experience – therefore they wisely said no to the auto option, it’s only available with a 6-gang Getrag manual trans and God it’s a great shifter; it functions as a precise rein for the beast, making sure power delivery is ready and instantly available if you need it – or you can just throw it into 4 in the city and enjoy that low-end bubbly bass. The handling is spot-on too – softer than the often overly sensitive class-mates but firm enough to encourage that lucky person holding the wheel. All-in-all this is still an amazing package that gives you a taste of that Mad Max feel on the smooth asphalts surfaces of our modern society…and for that, we thank you Audi!
