"Aggressively flared fenders, extra air intakes, and of course a more powerful engine tune separate the Audi RS4 from the already high-performing S4 upon which it is based. Thanks to those upgrades, you’ve got a car that’s eager to eat up the miles and it’ll be happy to demonstrate its cornering prowess and substantial acceleration on any track you can throw at it."—Official description (Forza Horizon)[1]
The 2006 Audi RS 4 - abbreviated as "Audi RS 4 '06" - is an all-wheel drive sports sedan by Audi.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 2 and all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
The second generation Audi RS 4, codenamed B7, replaces the B5 generation that was last produced in 2001. It turned away from forced induction by switching to a high-revving naturally aspirated V8 engine, and also expanded the body style selection from previous models by offering saloon and convertible options.
It was manufactured from 2006 to 2009 and is the first model generation to be sold in North America.[2] For the 2011 model year, Audi introduced the two-door RS 5 Coupe to replace the RS 4, although a RS 4 successor was released in 2012.
Engine and drivetrain[]
Its 4.2 litre V8 engine features FSI direct injection, two double overhead camshafts with variable valve timing and operates with a compression ratio of 12.5:1 for increased efficiency. It produces 420 hp (313 kW) at 7800 rpm and 317 ft·lb (430 N·m) of torque at 5500 rpm. Its all-wheel drive system is linked with a six-speed manual gearbox and equipped with a Torsen centre differential.
Performance[]
The RS 4 is a sports saloon with all-wheel drive that weighs 3638 lb (1650 kg) - 3685 lb (1671 kg) in Forza Motorsport 2, making it similar to the 2008 BMW M3 Coupé in that aspect. However, due to a longitudinally mounted 4.2 litre V8 engine, it has 58% of its weight sitting on the front axle, which is a higher value than on its predecessor and makes it more prone to understeer than its competitors.
With a 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) time in 4.7 seconds and 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 11.2 seconds, the RS 4 has decent acceleration, although it is hardly quicker than its predecessor except for top speed, which is 191 mph (307 km/h).
