Audi RS 4 2008 UAE Prices & Specs

The Audi RS 4 is the sports version of the A4, developed by Audi AG's performance tuning division quattro GmbH. It comes with a high-revving naturally aspirated V8 engine under the hood, featuring FSI direct injection technology. It comes only with a 6-speed manual transmission. The RS 4 has a full-time all-wheel-drive system, of which 40 percent of the power is sent to the front wheels and 60 percent is sent to the rear. Audi's Dynamic Ride Control system has been added to aid body roll. It has a more sportier suspension and damper settings as compared to the regular A4, as well as sit 30 mm lower. Other features included in the electronic stability program are the electronic differential lock (EDL), traction control (ASR), electronic brake force distribution, and ABS. It also is possible to disable the stability program in two stages: in the first stage only the traction control function is disabled; in the second stage the program is completely deactivated, including the traction control. As a result, there is no control intervention in any driving situation. For the interior, Recaro seats are standard and is covered in full silk nappa leather. Leather, aluminum and carbon fiber are the predominant materials in the interior. The RS steering wheel is covered in perforated leather. Carbon fiber trim inside the car serves to accentuate the sporting qualities of the Audi RS 4, while milled aluminum door openers are echoed on the gear knob and the steering wheel. The gear knob, handbrake lever and steering wheel are covered in perforated leather. The standard color LCD driver information system incorporated into the typical RS design cockpit features an oil temperature gauge as well as a stopwatch with lap timer function. An additional boost to safety is provided by the electronic stability program, with its integrated dry braking function. When the road is wet, the system lightly applies the brake pads to the discs at regular intervals, unnoticed by the driver, to sweep water from them and so improve braking response. Front and side airbags are standard in all RS 4 models.
