Developed by quattro GmbH in cooperation with Cosworth and based on the successful Audi S4, the RS4 redefined the boundaries between family transportation and sports car performance. While many manufacturers reserved their most powerful engines for coupes and saloons, Audi combined breathtaking performance with genuine everyday practicality, creating a formula that continues to inspire performance estates to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1839\"\u003ePower came from a comprehensively reworked 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged V6. Cosworth upgraded the turbochargers, intercoolers, cylinder heads, exhaust system and engine management, increasing output to an impressive 380 horsepower. Combined with Audi’s legendary permanent quattro all-wheel-drive system and a six-speed manual transmission, the result was a car capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km\/h in under five seconds while still offering generous luggage space and everyday usability. This unique blend of understatement, performance and versatility is precisely why the B5 RS4 is now regarded as one of the most desirable modern Audi classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"2313\"\u003eThe example offered here presents itself as a remarkably original and unmodified vehicle. With only 6,030 units produced worldwide, the RS4 B5 is already considered a rare and highly sought-after chapter in Audi’s performance heritage. The bodywork was repainted in its original Brilliant Black colour in 2024 and remains in very attractive condition. The black leather interior perfectly complements the discreet yet purposeful appearance of this high-performance estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2980\"\u003eParticularly noteworthy is the presence of the original service book, documenting the vehicle’s maintenance history. In addition, the car will be delivered with a fresh roadworthiness inspection prior to the auction, ensuring a straightforward ownership experience for its next custodian. Featuring the legendary Cosworth-developed biturbo V6, the highly desirable six-speed manual gearbox and the practical Avant body style, this RS4 embodies all the characteristics that have made the B5 generation one of the most coveted Audi youngtimers of the early 2000s. Performance, practicality and increasing collectability come together here in truly remarkable fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emil Frey Classics - Classic Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54117880627533,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/1622\/7405\/files\/AudiRS4AvantQuattro_CAStudio_454a6fe3-7ae9-4355-8d28-db6895f24f49.webp?v=1781593047","url":"https:\/\/shop.emilfreyclassics.ch\/en\/products\/audi-rs4-avant-quattro-2001","provider":"Classic Shop by Emil Frey Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
