2007 Audi RS 4 Used Price Estimates

Faster than an M3. Heavier than an M6. More expensive than two Evos. The 2007 Audi RS 4 is still incredible to drive.

With the current crop of ultra-performance sedans coming out of Germany, Audi has typically been left in the shadows of the AMG products from Mercedes-Benz and the M products from BMW. Now, with the 2007 Audi RS 4, the folks from Ingolstadt show they are serious about making a mark in this prestigious segment.

Essentially an S4 taken to a higher level, the Audi RS 4 has an even more powerful V8, bigger brakes, a more sporting chassis and exclusive interior trim. It also has a much higher price tag. Subtle yet powerful design differences, such as aggressively flared wheel openings, a discrete deck lid spoiler and 19-inch, double-spoke wheels separate the RS 4 from the S4.

In addition to the car's 420-horsepower V8, Audi's well-developed quattro all-wheel-drive system gives the RS 4 an edge over its rear-drive rivals. Sure, traction control and stability control (which of course come on the RS 4 as well) will help the competition in bad weather. But nothing can equal the grip and control all-wheel drive provides on slippery pavement.

For all the important yardsticks by which an ultra-performance sedan is measured, the Audi RS 4 does itself proud. Acceleration, braking, cornering and ride quality are all superb. And while there's no doubt its price tag is significantly large, for driving enthusiasts who live where the rain and snow sometimes fall, the RS 4 is the only way to fly.

The 2007 Audi RS 4 is a compact ultra-performance sedan that's based on the S4 performance sedan, which in turn is based on the A4 entry-level luxury/sport sedan. Standard features include 19-inch wheels with 255/35 high-performance tires, Dynamic Ride Control suspension, bi-HID headlights, Recaro sport seats with power adjustment, and front seat heaters. Napa leather upholstery, carbon-fiber cabin trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10-speaker audio system with six-disc CD changer, a sunroof and rear park assist are also standard. A premium package is optional and includes auto-dimming mirrors, a navigation system, an upgraded Bose audio system with Sirius satellite radio, heated rear seats, Homelink, a power rear sunshade and Bluetooth capability.

A 4.2-liter V8 engine powers the Audi RS 4. Equipped with direct fuel injection and sporting a 12.5:1 compression ratio, this powerhouse makes 420 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox (the only transmission offered) sends the power to all four wheels through Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system, which has a 40/60 front-to-rear power split in this application. During instrumented testing conducted by Inside Line, an RS 4 shot to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at nearly 107 mph.

Highlights of the cabin include Recaro seats with 12-way power adjustment, carbon-fiber trim on the dash and doors, and contrasting piping on the napa leather upholstery. Fine fit and finish, an Audi hallmark, are evident throughout. To allow cargo flexibility, the rear seat is a split-folding design that also incorporates a "ski sack" so long, skinny items can be transported inside the car while still carrying four passengers.

With more than 400 horsepower and the grip of all-wheel drive, the RS 4 has no problem catapulting itself off the line or out of a corner. With a broad torque spread, there's always power on tap. Apart from the incredible acceleration, the RS 4 makes a strong showing in the braking and handling departments. Through the curves, the RS 4 is a composed master despite is hefty curb weight. Inside Line testers recorded a slalom speed of 70.6 mph, which puts the RS 4 in an elite circle of cars with four doors. Confidence and grip from the front tires are superb, balance is good and steering feel at speed is better than any Audi car we've ever driven.

Stability control, antilock brakes with brake assist, front seat-mounted side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags are all standard on the 2007 Audi RS 4. Official crash tests have not been performed on the RS 4, but one could assume with fair confidence that its scores would be similar to those of the regular A4 sedan.

The RS4 is one of the best handling cars - with either two or four doors - we have driven recently. The DRC suspension, which controls pitch and roll via fluid transfer between diagonally connected dampers that share a central reservoir, makes the RS4 feel incredibly balanced no matter the speed or road conditions. At the same time, the ride, though firm, remains comfortable enough to not rattle your teeth. The combination of DRC and a sport-tuned all-wheel-drive system produces an incredible level of cornering grip that, in concert with the responsive and communicative steering, allows the driver to place the RS4 exactly where desired, and the big disc brakes provide confident and impressive stopping power. The growl and responsiveness of the V8, however, is more like an American muscle car. Pushing the dash-mounted "S" button invokes the Sport Mode for an even louder exhaust note and an even more responsive throttle response - the latter best suited for the track. Audi claims acceleration for zero to 60 miles per hour of 4.8 seconds, but that seems conservative.

4.2-Liter FSI V8 EngineThe heart of the RS4 is the high-revving 420-horsepower V8. It responds instantly to any degree of accelerator pedal pressure in any part of its wide-ranging operating band. Adding to the rush of instant acceleration is an exhaust note that ranges from a low growl to a high-pitched wail as the engine works toward its redline at 8,250 rpm. Dynamic Ride Control (DRC)The simple, but extremely effective, Dynamic Ride Control works better than many electronically adjustable suspension setups in adapting to changing road conditions. It provides a firm ride that never seems to get caught out by dips, potholes or other irregularities in road surface. The result is a car that responds with a high degree of precision in practically all driving situations.

Carbon fiber, aluminum and leather dominate the interior, with the steering wheel, shift knob and emergency brake handle covered in leather with grippy perforations. Thickly-bolstered Recaro sports seats, supportive but a bit snug, are covered in luxurious Nappa hide with embossed RS4 logos in the upper backrest. The pedals, including a substantial-sized left footrest, feature aluminum accents. A stopwatch with lap timer function has been added to the standard full-color LCD display panel that dominates the center stack.

The RS4 pushes the already-aggressive stance of regular production Audis, with boldly contoured fender flares draped over seven-spoke 19-inch wheels that have been stretched even farther apart by 1.5 inches in front and 1.9 inches in the rear over the S4. To save weight, the new front fenders and hood are aluminum. Flared lower side sills enhance the effect of the 1.2-inch lower suspension height, the rear deck lid incorporates a spoiler lip that flows into the rear fender contours and aluminum-colored side mirrors are mounted on twin stalk pedestals. Up front, the grille opening is basic black honeycomb discretely accented with narrow silver bright-work.

The list of standard equipment for the RS4 reflects its position as a showcase for the ultimate Audi driving experience. Performance is emphasized by the drivetrain that includes a 420-horsepower 4.2-liter V8, six-speed manual transmission and permanent all-wheel drive featuring a torsen center differential with a 40/60 torque split front-to-rear under normal conditions. Other features include a 1.2-inch lower ride height, Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) suspension, 19 x 9.0-inch alloy wheels with 255/35 tires, 14.4-inch, two-piece, cross-drilled rotors with eight-piston calipers up front and 12.8-inch cross-drilled rotors with single-piston calipers at the rear, with the brakes cooled from NACA ducts located in the undertray. The standard equipment list includes dual-zone climate control, a 10-speaker audio system with six-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability, multi-function steering wheel controls, 12-way power adjustable leather Recaro sports seats with memory, heated windshield and headlamp washers, heated exterior side mirrors, Parktronic rear parking sensors, power glass sunroof and five-function trip computer with lap timer. The safety items include dual-stage driver and front-seat passenger front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, side-curtain airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, automatic self-leveling Bi-Xenon headlamps, and adaptive front lighting that pivots with the steering at certain speeds.

Since the RS4 is marketed as an exclusive vehicle tailored for luxury sport sedan driving enthusiasts, the list of options is a short one. A Premium Package includes a DVD-based navigation system, Bose premium sound, HomeLink, SIRIUS or XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth phone preparation and heated rear seats. Rear seat side airbags are a stand-alone option. No-charge options allow for deletion of the sunroof and substituting brushed aluminum for the carbon fiber interior trim.

The RS4 is powered by a high-performance, normally-aspirated version of the 4.2-liter V8 used in the A6, A8, and Q7. The four-valve, all-aluminum engine features FSI direct gasoline injection and a compression ratio of 12.5 to 1. It delivers a maximum of 317 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm, with 90 percent of this torque available between 2,250 and 7,600 rpm, and makes 420 horsepower at 7,800 rpm. It thus achieves the traditional high performance target of 100 horsepower per liter, and gives the RS4 a weight-to-power ratio of just 10.6 pounds per horsepower. 4.2-liter V8 420 horsepower @ 7800 rpm 317 lb.-ft. of torque @ 6000 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 14 /21

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $ 68,820. Since this is a limited-production model, the MSRP is generally a good indicator of what you would expect to pay, but special circumstances can drive up the price. Be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others are paying for RS4s in your area. The BMW M3Coupe offers similar performance and driving thrills for less money but is available only in a two-door, rear-wheel-drive format. We project that the RS4 will retain 67 percent of its value over 24 months and will be a stronger performer than the BMW M3 over time.
