The 2008 Audi RS4 is a V8-equipped compact luxury car built for those who seek as much power and performance as Audi can cram into the engine bay of the standard A4 sedan.
Joining the RS4 Sedan for 2008 is the RS4 Cabriolet. In both vehicles, styling is all about performance, with 19-inch alloy wheels, low profile tires, dual exhausts, and abundant interior use of carbon fiber.
The heart of the RS4 is the 4.2-liter dual overhead cam V8 producing 420 horsepower, which is sent to Audi's Quattro all wheel drive through a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission.
Mileage comes in at 13 miles per gallon city, 20 miles per gallon highway.
Base MSRP for the 2008 Audi RS4 is $66,910, while the all-new RS4 Cabriolet starts just under $82,000. All RS4's are backed by a 4-year, 50,000-mile power train warranty.
With styling grounded in performance, and a tuned chassis to back it up, the 2008 Audi RS4 is a potent and nimble beast that delivers a balanced blend of power, handling and luxury.
