Audi RS 4 Avant - power sports car

The traditional model of Audi vorachivaetsya in a new form: the third generation of the Audi RS 4 Avant combines the power of imposing a high level of practicality in everyday use. The V8 engine displacement of 4.2 liters and 450 hp, seven-speed S tronic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive quattro.

In the Audi RS 4 Avant powered by the same engine is a high speed aspirated V8, as in the Audi RS 5 Coupe. The power unit working volume of 4,163 cm3 develops 450 hp at 8250 rev / min, mean power density of 108.1 ps per liter. Max torque 430 Nm available in a range of 4000-6000 rev / min. High-torque V8 with dyed a reddish color of the cylinder head covers accelerates the Audi RS 4 Avant to 100 km / h in 4.7 seconds and top speed is limited to a mark of 250 km / h But if desired, it can be increased to 280 km / h.

4.2 FSI engine is hand-assembled at the Audi plant in Gyor (Gyor), Hungary. It combines impressive power with exemplary efficiency: the average fuel consumption is 11 liters less per 100 km.

Included in the complete set of high-performance conventional seven-speed S tronic transmission with a "long" top gear also helps save fuel. S tronic has two clutch and changes gears with lightning speed automatic. In addition, the driver can switch without the help of others with a selector or paddles. To a strong start, you can activate Launch Control, which controls the transmission, providing rapid acceleration at low wheel slip.

Reliable traction: quattro ® drive and center differential with the ring gears.

Like the other models in the Audi RS, Audi RS 4 Avant is equipped with the same standard all-wheel drive quattro ®. Heart of this system is the center differential with the ring gears. Compact and lightweight differential instantly and smoothly varies the distribution of torque between the front and rear axle, with a wide range: the front axle can be supplied up to 70 percent of the traction on the rear - up to 85 percent. The standard ratio of 40:60, at which more force is transmitted to the rear axle ensures sporty agility.

Self-locking center differential with the ring gears interacts with the directional distribution of torque (torque vectoring) between all 4 wheels. If driving in busy inner wheel is extremely discharged, the system is slightly retarding him, to prevent loss of grip and slip. As an option, Audi offers the sport differential with 2 overdrive for an active torque distribution between the rear wheels.
