Since the early 90s, Audis RS models have been providing incredible performance combined with sensible practicality and sleek styling. Acceleration, agility and comfort are all taken to their pinnacle thanks to features such as four-wheel drive technology, high-output engines and sporty, supportive interiors. The cocktail of thrill and functionality has long appealed to family men and business moguls alike and concreted the RS brand as one of the most impactful models in the past 30 years.
This B7 RS4 is Audi’s second-generation super-saloon and boasts an impressive, naturally aspirated 4.2L V8, Quattro technology and a sublime interior, including those gorgeous wingback seats. Finished in Daytona Grey, this car has had one owner since new, being used as a daily driver for numerous years by the enthusiast owner who has kept the car well maintained with both Audi and in-house maintenance being carried out.
Its use in recent years has been minimal, with the owner busy building and racing specialist cars, there’s been little need for it and as such the time has come for it to provide never-ending enjoyment somewhere new.
