‘R444AVT’ represents the flagship model of Audi’s B8 A4 range in Avant shooting brake form. Audi had a habit of throwing everything at their RS4 models and ‘R444AVT’ is no exception. It features the howling, 32 valve 4. 2 litre engine as originally used in the R8 which delivered a mighty 444bhp in this application. Well chosen, non-standard enhancements include a Capristo stainless steel sports exhaust system with Darkside Developments non-resonated downpipes. BBS MTM Bi Moto alloy wheels are also fitted. The vendor has owned ‘R444AVT’ for around three and a half years adding around 12, 000 miles in their ownership to bring today’s total to around 74, 000. ‘R444AVT’ is offered with original book pack and stamped service book. The current vendor has used Unit 20 in Neston for maintenance with records of work uploaded to the Audi service system.
‘R444AVT’s’ bodywork is finished in Audi’s popular Sepang Blue pearl effect livery. The RS4 is surprisingly subtle looking considering its lofty mechanical specification. Cues extend to twin, oval tail pipes, subtle model badging and matt aluminium roof rails. Being the range topping A4, this is a faultlessly equipped sporting estate, of course. Cabin appointments include flat bottomed multifunction RS steering wheel, electrically operated and heated front seats, automatic climate control, satellite navigation and a raft of electronic driver aids. It’s the mechanical specification, however, that will really quicken the autophile’s heart. The high-revving 4. 2-litre V8 engine is the headline act with its dizzyingly high 8, 500 rpm redline. This feeds nearly 450bhp to all four wheels via a seven speed twin clutch automatic transmission. Uprated RS suspension and brake systems ensure changing direction and stopping are equally impressive as the surge of forward momentum is. In terms of condition, ‘R444AVT’ warrants an “excellent” vendor rating for all mechanical systems and the well appointed interior. The paint and bodywork are rated as “good.”
This rarified technical specification originally endowed the RS4 Avant with a sub five second 0-60mph time and an electronically limited 155 mph top speed. In addition, of course, the RS4’s Avant body is no less practical, commodious and family friendly than any other Audi A4 Avant making this a genuine example of that “all the car you ever need” ideal.
In summary:
· Attractive and popular Sepang Blue livery with MTM Bi Moto wheels
· Featuring the astounding 4. 2-litre V8 powerhouse with an 8, 500 rpm redline
· Well maintained with a current MOT and ready to be the only car you ever need
