The RS4 is the longest- running model in the RS line, having first gone on sale in 2000 with the much- loved B5.


At the heart of all of this, though, is of course the RS4. The RS4 is the longest- running model in the RS line, having first gone on sale in 2000 with the much- loved B5. The B5 had a 2. 7 liter, twin- turbocharged V6 under the hood— which was re- engineered by Cosworth— pumping out 385 bhp and hitting 60 in 4. 9 seconds.


With its successor, named the B7, things took a much different turn. The same understated look and aggressive power remained, though the turbocharged engine was switched out, replaced by a naturally aspirated, high- revving V8 giving out a healthy 420 bhp. The result was a far cry from the old thumping turbos of earlier RS models, paving way for a new era of fast saloons to come out of Quattro GmbH— or Audi Sport GmbH, as it' s now named. Having debuted in 2006, the B7 has some years behind it now, and luckily for us, that means prices are now really affordable.


Let' s take a look at what makes Makes a B7 RS4 The Best Used Audi To Buy.

Ultimately, though, what makes the B7 RS4 the best used Audi to buy is just how well priced it is. Roughly $14, 000 will get you a decent example, and while there may be a fair few miles on the clock, that shouldn' t be too much of an issue providing the car has been looked after. Should you want a well- used example, these are the things to look out for when buying a B7 RS4.


A Detailed Look At The B7 And Why You Should Buy One

When anyone mentions the B7, the first thing that comes to mind is the engine. And for good reason. The 4. 2- liter lump was borrowed from the S4, with the RS4 gaining modified pistons and conrods, a new crankshaft and bearings, and new cylinder heads giving an additional 60 bhp. The result is a responsive engine that picks up quickly, going on to rev to an impressive 8, 250 rpm, with a deep, throaty exhaust note that eggs you on as it does so.
