  • #Audi’s Best just got Better! The mid-side power wagon gets zero power increase, but instead gets upgrades where it really matters for emotion and dynamics!
    Back in Spain, arrived in style in Iron Man’s original Mark 3 armor, it’s time for the full drive of the new #AudiSport #RS4 Competition! A Sportier RS4, one that seems to remedy to main complaints of the original car. Big changes include a more emotional exhaust with significant sound deadening of 8kg removed, Including manually adjustable suspension, and a more exciting soundtrack.
    The engine is still the 2.9l V6 bi turbo making 450BHP and 600NM. Yet we have an improved 0-60 of 3.9 seconds, 0.2 faster, firstly thanks to the upgraded 8 speed tiptronic. This has whole new software to make it much more emotional and shift faster in Dynamic Mode especially. The updated Quattro sport differential, though still 85% to the rear, is more aggressive in giving power.
    The biggest change is in suspension, with the RS sport suspension pro with stiffer springs - an option that will be standard in the UK. I’ll take you through what you can adjust with the cool tool box - essentially rebound, dampening and ride height! The height can be adjusted to be 10-20mm lower than the standard car. Additionally, we also get a new Sport anti roll bar on rear and front which are stiffer, and dynamic steering with specific tuning and a fixed ratio of 13/1 - this really shows me how serious Audi are in fixing their past mistakes!
    The car gets lighter competition wheels, which surround a revised braking system good for stopping up to two car lengths earlier.
    I’ll take you through a look under the skin of all the above changes in the Competition version including all the unique design elements inside and out, and then drive it on road in the mid-level suspension settings.
    Spoiler: it’s an emotionally charged car, that really made me smile! Can it make use smile on the same roads the C63 made us cry?! Let’s find out today!!

    450hp in this bracket just doesn’t cut it anymore when you consider the RS3 / A45s output… this needed another 50hp as a minimum. Yes it’s a facelift model so it’s a little dated compared to the M3 and even the facelift C63s never mind the new one, but it’s been left behind now.
    This model is totally not worth it… you’ll have just as much fun in an RS3, if not more, and make a saving - I would just wait for the new one.

    Audi Sport really flubbed this one. A 4200 lb wagon does not need adjustable coilovers. What it does need, in light of the new M3, is more bhp. They should have upped the horsepower to close to 500 to compete with the M3 Competition and Giulia QF, and made the optional (at least in the US) DRC suspension standard maybe with some minor tweaking. think all of the other upgrades are great (exhaust, anti-roll bars, carbon rotors, carbon trim, alcantara, forged wheels). VAG could have even deployed an upgraded RS4/RS5 engine to Porsche as well (Macan, Panamaera and Cayenne) where 450 hp is barely adequate.

      Surely it's about how the power is applied, the M3 comp is dull as ditch water unless you have it high up the rev range continually, making it a ball ache to live with day to day. the RS4 applies nearly all its torque from 1500 rpm and doesn't let up much until you are hitting the rev limiter. That makes the car such an easy everyday car without compromising its pace. Joe Achlies timed an RS4 performance at 3.1 sec on the dig. This model can stay happily with the two new German marques where it counts. It's certainly looks better than the M3 Touring and C63, even at this late stage of its model life.
