caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Audi RS4 Avant
context_page_description: The Audi RS 4 is the high-performance variant of the Audi A4 range produced by Audi Sport GmbH for AUDI AG, a division of the Volkswagen Group. It slots distinctly above the Audi S4 as the fastest, most sports-focused car based on the A4's "B" automobile platform. The RS 4 made a return in 2012 in Avant form, based on the A4 Avant.
  The original B5 version was produced only as an Avant, Audi's name for an estate car/station wagon. The second version, the B7, was released initially as a four-door five-seat saloon/sedan, with the Avant following a short while later. A two-door four-seat Cabriolet version was subsequently added. Their internal combustion engines are longitudinal and located at the front.
  The "RS" initials are taken from the German: RennSport—literally translated as "racing sport", and is the Audi marque's highest trim level, positioned above the "S" model specification of Audi's regular model line-up. Like all Audi "RS" cars, the RS 4 pioneers some of Audi's latest advanced technology. It is only available with Audi's Torsen-based "trademark" quattro permanent four-wheel drive system.
