The B7 RS4 was a drastic departure from previous Audi RS models, being available initially as a four-door saloon with the Avant Estate and the Cabriolet arriving later, unlike the previous RS4 and RS2 which were available exclusively as Avants. In production between 2006 and 2008, the B7 was constructed from fully galvanised steel in a monocoque design, with the RS4 benefiting from lightweight aluminium front wings and bonnet. Despite the wide flared arches, large air intakes and low and purposeful stance, the RS4 had a class-leading drag coefficient. The engine of the B7 RS4 is based on the existing all-alloy 4, 163cc V8 from the B6 S4 and shared many parts with the 4. 2 FSI V8 in the Q7. Producing 414bhp at 7, 800rpm, the power is fed through a Getrag six-speed manual gearbox and out to all four wheels with the aid of Audi’s trademark ‘Quattro’ permanent four-wheel-drive system.
By the time many sports saloons reach their 20th birthday, there is a distinct likelihood that they will have passed through a phase when they were not quite treated with all due respect. This RS4, however, is a lucky survivor insofar as it appears to have been well-treated across its entire life. It had five registered keepers up to 2012, at which point it had the good fortune to fall into the hands of the very sympathetic present owner. Across his 14 years of ownership, it has been kept in regular use, typically covering around 5, 000 miles a year, but with appropriate maintenance to keep it in good shape.
Still pleasingly original and unmodified, the Audi is offered for sale having covered a total of 130, 500 miles. The vendor describes it as being “very good” in all respects, and a documented service history testifies to the level of maintenance it has received. The MOT history dates back to its first test in 2009, and the present certificate remains valid until September, 2027. Few family cars combine performance, practicality and charisma quite like the 2006-08 RS4, and this lovely example should provide much enjoyment for its next owner.
