From this summer, Audi will be offering for the first time three different versions of the RS4 model, as the German car manufacture unveiled the RS4 Avant and Cabriolet. While the RS4 Avant is a familiar model to Audi fans, it is a first for the Cabriolet version, which, simultaneously, is the fastest open top model ever produced by the German manufacturer.
Both models wear Audi’s 420 bhp V8 engine which revs up to a speed of 8,250 rpm. With its displacement of 4,163 cm3, this outstanding engine breaks through the magic barrier for a production saloon of 100 bhp per litre. The highly compact power unit reaches its peak torque of 430 Nm at 5,500 rpm. At least 90 percent of the maximum torque is available between 2,250 and 7,600 rpm.
According to Audi, both the RS4 Avant & Cabriolet reach the 100 km/h mark in 4,9 sec (RS4 Sedan 4.8 seconds), while the 200 km/h mark comes in 16.9 seconds for the Avant and 17.5 seconds for the Cabriolet (RS4 Sedan 16.6 seconds). On all three versions, the speed is governed electronically when the needle reaches 250 km/h.
