The RS4 is a totally different monster.
The S4 engine was not the FSI
The RS4 is tuned so much differently, there is no comparison.
As much as i liked the S4 it didn't have the power band effect in the higher revs as the RS4 does.
The power in the S4 is constant seems to never ease off, but its the same from 0-7000rpm.
You defo can't say the same about the RS4. Once it gets above 3000-3500rpm it comes to life and the power seems to become more obvious.
All I can say is the RS4 is a heavy car, but the S4 is heavier.
Unless you've driven both you wouldn't know...
