Alongside the five-door Mercedes-AMG C63, the Audi RS4 Avant is one of the most exciting estates money can buy right now.
It sits on a great platform, benefits from a number of technical and visual enhancements over the regular models, and carries a powerful engine under the hood.
The twin-turbo 2.9-liter unit shared with the RS5 family generates 450PS (444hp / 331kW) and 600Nm (443lb-ft) of torque. The Audi RS4 Avant accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (0-62mph) in just 4.1 seconds, and maxes out at 250km/h (155mph), or 280km/h (174mph) when equipped with the optional RS Dynamic Package.

This makes it a true force to be reckoned with, giving it the ability to take the entire family on vacation or put a big smile on the person sitting behind the wheel whenever they push the throttle hard.
Nevertheless, few things are more exciting in a new Audi RS4 Avant than a fast lap around the track. In this case, the premium compact estate was unleashed at the Nurburgring by SportAuto, who managed to complete the course in 7 minutes and 58,52 seconds.
Okay, we admit it, the time isn’t exactly mind-blowing, but the run was, so without further ado, get ready to see the RS4 Avant being punished in between the apexes.
Before scrolling down to check out the video, though, we’ll remind you that the 7:58,52sec time makes it quicker than the Corvette C6, Porsche 996 Carrera S, Lamborghini Diablo GT, and first-gen Audi R8 4.2 FSI, among others.
