TO THE POINT
What’s New? The 2007 Audi RS 4 is all new, positioned above the current S4 with an extra 80 horsepower, a long list of visual and mechanical modifications, and an extra $20,000 tacked onto the window sticker.
Selling Points: Power, handling, styling, overall performance
Deal Breakers: Tight rear seat and stiff ride make it more track and less street
Our Advice: A great option for the occasional track driver whose bank account is busting with an extra $68,820, or anyone who wants supercar performance with seating for five and all-wheel drive.

Some may wonder what the difference is between the Audi S4 and the Audi RS 4, and how can anyone discern one from the other? There are several design cues separating the two, some more apparent than others. Among the more obvious examples are the flared wheels wells (sculpted into the body work and not simply tacked-on parts), gorgeous 19-inch alloy wheels, dual oval exhaust pipes in place of the S4’s smaller quad tips, the hunched-down stance, and RS 4 badges on the trunk lid, rear door moldings, and upper grille. The front fenders and hood are constructed of lightweight aluminum, and a subtle spoiler has been incorporated into the rear body design. Overall, the doors and roof panel are the only exterior panels shared between the RS 4 and other A4 models.
