About this generation

The RS4 returns as an Avant-only model with a 450 hp 4.2 FSI V8 and a seven-speed S tronic.

The B8 RS4 Avant (2012–2015) revived the model after a hiatus, again as a wagon only. Its naturally aspirated 4.2 FSI V8 made 450 hp through a seven-speed S tronic.

The B8 was the last RS4 with a naturally aspirated V8 — the next generation switched to turbo power. Once again it fused wagon practicality with supercar pace.
