Summary
We expected great things from the Audi RS 4. Yet it still managed to exceed those expectations. This is a car completely without compromise. Jaw-dropping looks, blistering performance and exceptional handling blend seamlessly with everyday usability and family-friendly practicality. £76,000 is a lot of money, but also £20k less than an RS 6. So the RS 4 is a relative bargain.
