Audi RS 4 Performance Overview

Audi's RS 4 performance record here is concentrated into a single U.S. model year, with 5 verified tests spanning 2007 to 2007. All measured examples fall within the B7 generation, where the Quattro Sedan paired all-wheel drive with the 420-hp naturally aspirated 4.2-liter BNS V8. That combination produced a narrow but useful spread in independent testing, from 4.2 seconds to 60 mph for the 2007 Quattro Sedan to 4.6 seconds for another 2007 Quattro Sedan, with a 12.8-second quarter-mile at 109.7 mph marking the quickest pass.

Because the available dataset covers only one year and one trim, the RS 4's performance story on this page is less about generational change than repeatability within a fixed specification. Across those five tests, the 2007 Quattro Sedan also recorded 0-60 runs of 4.4 and 4.5 seconds, while average results settled at 4.42 seconds to 60 mph and 13.08 seconds at 107 mph in the quarter-mile. In this sample, the B7 stands as both the introduction and current endpoint, defined by a single gasoline powertrain, one body style, and a best verified 0-60 of 4.2 seconds.
