Built on the B7 platform, this RS4 was first introduced at the 2006 American International Auto Show. With the departure of “Bi-Turbo” powering the previous generation S4, the RS4 is now powered by a naturally aspirated V8. Aside from the flared wheel arches and pair of oval exhaust, the RS4 is also handsomely dressed in aggressive looking front/rear bumpers, side skirts, and trunk lid.
Traction is ensured with the legendary Quattro AWD and this poses serious threat to the E46 M3 (though the M3 is only powered by a 3.2L six). With the arrival of the E92 M3 in 2008, all media attentions shifted away as expected……..way to go BMW! Anyway, the B7 RS4 is still an excellent sport sedan with nicely executed designs.
Made by Minichamps, this is a replica of the 2006 Audi RS4 finished in Sprint Blue Metallic.
