It’s been 25 years since Audi first debuted the Audi RS4 (B5) technically the first RS model to come from quattro GmbH (now Audi Sport GmbH) the precursor being the Audi RS2 and S6 Plus. So to celebrate the milestone Audi is making a limited edition RS 4 Avant edition 25 years.
We recently got all four generations of the RS 4 together to show its development over the last 25 years, you can read about that here.
The 2.9-litre V6 biturbo gets a power bump to 470hp and 600Nm, a 20hp increase. This gives the edition 25 years a 0-100km/h time of 3.7sec, 0.4 faster than the standard version.
RS ceramic brakes come as standard as does the RS sport exhaust and a quattro sport differential. The suspension has also been improved using the RS Sport Suspension pro, a manually adjustable coilover with 10mm lower height which can be lowered a further 10mm if desired.
Other edition 25 exclusive goodies include an extra two degrees of negative camber on the front axle and stiffer control arms. A fixed subframe on the rear axle improves rigidity and gives additional feedback. Standard equipment includes a B&O 3D Sound System, an advanced key, a 360-degree camera, and wireless phone charging.
The edition 25 is shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres and rides on forged 20-inch alloy wheels in matt palladium. Audi are also chucking in an additional set of Pirelli sensorized P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tyres designed for the racetrack and exclusive 20-inch allow wheels in matt black should you wish to hit the track.
