Thread: Official: 2013 Audi RS4 Avant Gets 450hp

Via official documentation we can confirm that the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant will get 450hp from its high-revving 4.2 liter V8. The engine is linked to a seven-speed S tronic transmission with launch control program. This powertrain is similar to the Audi RS5, which is currently available in Europe and heading to the US.

The 4.2 FSI delivers 450 horsepower at 8,250rpm and between 4,000 and 6,000rpm, and transmits a maximum of 317lb-ft of torque. The 2013 model is based on a facelifted version of the A4.

The document shows all the models that will be released at the Swiss car show starting in March. The RS4 Avant and the 360hp Audi TT-RS Plus are the only vehicles, in which we are interested. The concept cars are not mentioned on the list.

Just kill that engine already. The b8 s4 is just as fast....if not faster than the b7 rs4. So I'm not expecting this rs4 to be all too much faster.

The engine may not make sense, but damn that side shot looks amazing!

Audi's performance is a joke in their lines; the 2011/12 S4 is putting down as much power as an E46 M3

Only issue is its as heavy as a whale!

Which comes with massive under steer at the track.

Am I the only one to don't like these Audi wheels?

Yup! haha

I wish this car was coming to Canada. My Audi dealer said its not

They should've given it one of the 4.0 twin turbo motors the S6/7/8 are supposed to get -_-

Wrong, a B8 S4 will pull on an E46 M3 from any speed. Even my Stage II A4 will pull an E46

Power on paper is different than real world conditions, quattro ftw.
