The RS 4 Avant's twin-turbo V6 isn't an Audi exclusive — the same EA839 engine also powers the Porsche Panamera 4S.
This RS 4 wagon ran the exact same engine and drivetrain as the two-door RS 5 Coupe — same powertrain, completely different body on top.
This RS4 held a lonely title inside Audi's own lineup: the only RS model with a naturally aspirated engine, right up until the RS5 broke the streak in 2010.
Every Audi RS model is turbocharged — except the B7 RS4. Its naturally aspirated V8 stood alone in the RS lineup until the RS5 arrived four years later.
The B5 RS 4’s twin-turbo V6 wasn’t built in Audi’s own engine plants — it was developed and manufactured in Britain by Cosworth Technology.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
