price and spec now available for RS4
https://www.audi.co.uk/content/dam/audi/production/PDF/PriceAndSpecGuides/modelpricelists/RS 4-Avant-Pricelist.pdf
£71k for the same spec as my car... No thanks.
I'd maybe be willing to pay that if it had the carbon bits and the carbon ceramic brakes, but those would take it up by another £12-13k!

Hard to accept isn't it? Folding mirrors guys. An option. Cannot fathom it.

I had to do a double take as well for the mirrors, but I think it's actually ones with the memory function as folding mirrors are actually listed in the standard exterior equipment...
I'd rather buy an RS6 with this amount of money so, no thank you!

You could buy a brand new reasonable daily driver with 13k....the options costs are crazy once added up. I think when you buy an RS there shouldn't be any options other than colours inside and out and wheel choice both with no xtra cost....everything else should come as standard!

100% with you on that one...
To be honest for the range topping A4 with a £61k list you might think dynamic front and rear lights would be standard, there's some wallet-withering prices on the options list too:-
RS Sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) £2,000
Dynamic steering £950
RS Sport exhaust system £1,200
Ceramic brakes £6,000
Top speed restriction increase to 174mph* £1,450
RS Matrix LED headlights with LED rear lights and dynamic front and rear indicators £850
Carbon door mirrors £1,200
Carbon Black Styling Pack £5,000
Definitely agree with you. Things like the the exhaust, suspension and top speed restriction should be no cost options I think. Especially as the top speed restriction is just software!
Totally, carbon ceramic brakes and carbon bits are always expensive extras, but still you could very easily throw an extra £20k+ in options on a B9 RS4
Agree with all of you lads.
@DeanoC has said it best. It's a cash cow. I honestly think (and I know Audi is a business) that they cater for new, young, Instagram money rather than enthusiasts and people that love the brand.
Audi Sport just feels like it's all surface and no substance/soul. For example, the old V10 RS6 was a sheer lump. But it had a flipping lambo V10 and balls about it. So is it up on the configurator? Or just the PDF? Gonna go take a look and make myself sad haha.

One of the reasons one changes platform on these cars is because of the change in power output as well delivery. I am not just for cosmetic changes, which is what this RS4 feels like. 450ps and 600Nm of Torque, an S4 can produce it for half the price or perhaps less than that.
For this amount of money I believe Merc and BMW have done a tremendous job. I would like to put this RS against a C63 AMG S (503bhp) or an M3 and it will put the new RS to shame. Not something which would be pleasing to an Audi enthusiast like me.
One of the reasons I bought an Audi is because I don't like Mercs and BMW (just personal preference) and the reason for buying an S4 wasn't just the options it offered but the tunning potential of a supercharged V6 engine. Same goes to B8.5 RS4.
Nothing has changed in this RS yet everything has. From naturally aspirated V8 to 2.9 ltr V6 turbocharged engine imho the car has lost its soul, completely!!! And I wouldn't need to test drive one to prove that I am wrong.
I have a lot of respect for the RS and would never put mine against a B7 or 8 or 8.5 but trust me every time I see a B9 RS on the road, I will make sure the guy driving one regrets buying one
For those lucky of you who own an RS4 7/8/8.5 if I was you I wouldn't be selling it, I'll be keeping it. It's 'The Last of the Mohicans'!!!

I can't put the video up because it's incriminating and well......it would make anyone with an S car dribble but I launched my RS4 B8 off the lights with a TTRS (10plate) behind and honestly I disappeared, left a tyre mark on the white line for good measure, it was ****** quick....had an SQ5 which has more low end torque but the RS far more the face ripper I didn't know I was driving....fantastic! btw after receiving my car back from having the pano cassette replaced it was retired with black grease marks all over the interior with damage to rear of seat and rear pillar panel ( oyster interior) and had under inflated warning light.... took car to my tyre guy and he pulled out a VAG trim screw, wonder where that came from.....of course I'm in discussions with centre manager and Audi UK

Jeezo man.
Hearing about these things from more and more folk lately.
You still should have recorded your launch. I'm happy to dribble all over the floor! TTRS is quick too, man. I'm a little bit surprised actually.

It's recorded alright....

In fairness to the TTRS he couldn't leave with me as he was being courteous to the other drivers (it's an Audi thing ) but his reaction on his dash was "wow......wow......hahahaha)

It's harsh man, harsh on the TTRS guy. Would love to see his expressions hahaha.
Tbh, I would be hesitant doing it to another Audi, to a Merc and BMW - all day long .
Like I did it this Sunday to a C43. He didn't realise I was running 480ps and can do a 0-60 in 3.5 secs

Good if you was planning to spec a lot of that stuff but still silly money! Now the price list is out i can see to match my B8 spec it's £77,600 without carbon or 81k with. They are going to have to work voodoo magic on the GFVs to bring that in a competive range for pcp'ers.RS4 is not out yet but already bringing out a carbon addition. 10k extra!!!

And they are claiming M3 Comp to be a ‘response’ to Nissan GT-R

My bro in laws e92 was a smidge quicker than my B8 in straight line. In capable hands (not his) it would destroy it on the twisties.They know nothing, I’ll ruin the M3
