Mid 2000’s was such a great time for cars.

I am lucky to be an owner of one of these for 12 years now! Mine is in Sprint Blue, and has the carbon ceramic brakes as well. When you spend time with the car and learn, the brakes feel excellent. The 2 things you said as cons I have fixed: 1) I fitted a Miltek exhaust, and it keeps the switch able load and quiet flaps in the back, it sounds EXCELLENT! 2) There are some excellent Bluetooth upgrades for the audio head unit, so you can use all your modern phones features, and keeps the original look. Last thing I'll say, I also own a 2010 997.2 GT3. And I'm selling the GT3 and keeping the B7 RS4 Avant. What does that tell you 😀 If you aspire to own one of these one day, save your cash up, and do it!

I have a 2008 RS4 Avant. The very special thing about it is the mileage, it only has around 32,000 km (19,900 miles) on the clock. I boight it from the neighbour of my parents holiday home in Switzerland. He had a motorcycle accident in 2011, and couldn't drive it anymore, but he didn't want to sell it so it stood around for 8 years. After a lot of persuasion he agreed to sell it to me in 2019. I just love it. The subtle looks, the power, the sound and the colour ( Mugelloblue Pearl) . I've been using it as a daily for two years, but got myself an E-Class for university, because it is more subtle.

What a beautiful car, just timeless... and what proportions. 😍 The RS4 B7 is the rarest RS4 Avant with only 5,204 Avant's ever produced. A total of 14,368 vehicles were produced during the four-year construction period of the RS4 model. Of these, 7,657 are sedans (53%), 5,204 avant (36%) and 1,507 convertibles (11%).

The 2000s was such an amazing era for cars. The cars were sized perfectly, The performance of so many cars was just increasing and was so much more exciting than it now is today. Today it just feels like we've gone into absurdity. Cars back then were also far less complex than today, and were imo the peak of modern cars. Cars had tech that we are used too today, but it wasnt so all encompassing and intrusive like what we have now. Screens werent overbearing and were still relatively simple unlike today.

In fact I don't think the Lancer Evo is a very good car, but it has a different layout with its transverse engine, its far smaller four cylinder engine which weights a lot less, and far better AWD system than Audi has. And I'd argue at Mitsubishi they had totally different kind of management with very different goals: I know of inside info that Audi engineers were specifically told to reverse some improvements to agility they made to the next generation of the A4 after this one, as according to Audi management "their customers were used to a certain kind of feel" (I'll add that the feel they were used to was totally lifeless, feel-less understeery horrible handling which they liked when driving straight down a straight piece of road) "and they don't want that to change, they'll not like it if the car is more agile". Therefore the Audi engineers had to dial out that slight bit of better agility which they managed to develop.

Greetings from New Jersey! This car is the reason why sport car enthusiast of my era, 90s kids, even consider Audis as an option; and, I believe this is what made modern AMGs so good, by really forcing Merc to return to their sporting heritage as well.

The B5 RS4 will always be my favourite Audi of all time, but there is no denying that Audi were on top of their game during the lifespan of the B7. Iconic exterior and interiors, and of course crazy engines (this V8, the 5.0/5.2 V10, 6.0 FSI W12 and 6.0 TDI V12!)

Back in the summer of 2006, a holiday friend rocked up in his brand new blue RS4 saloon. As you say it was a stunner from Audi. Can't believe this was now 17 summers ago 😮

2005 was really a great year for new cars. RS4, Focus ST mk.II, Veyron production, Ford GT, AMV8 Vantage...

Absolutely love the car, have a 2008 Avant myself. Like all cars it has its own little things that you need to know and keep it serviced. Its reliable as it can get, just love it!

Really enjoying these re-visit videos, keep them up! Thanks

Great review. I have the B7 RS4 saloon and have for years. Absolutely love it. Seriously turns heads. It’s now running a fully blueprinted, gas flowed, polished and ported engine with decat Milltek exhaust. Also remapped to stage 2. Looks completely standard but had to replace the DRC suspension as they start to sag with time/use, so now runs on fully adjustable Bilstein PSS9 coilovers with H&R anti-roll bars.

Love these so much. For everyone complaining about running costs you could certainly get more MPG from a modern turbo car if you are delicate with the right foot but B7 RS4s have stopped deprecating.

@@Gorbyrev Nope, if you pile on the miles the car will certainly depreciate. Proper maintenance is necessary in any case just to make it not turn into a total pumpkin. Proper maintenance is what normal people do to their cars as a given. Those engines, the chassis, all of it has a finite life before replacement of major overhaul. And that cost for the overhaul will easily be higher than any slight value increase of such a horrible understeering Volkswagen-product. Then add on the regular costs of maintenance, insurance, all the normal upkeep. Nobody is making money on those cars if they use them more than for short Sunday drives, in which case they need a second car anyway. You are deluded about what that car actually is. Even E30s haven't appreciated enough to not cost lots of money to the owners if they actually use them. And E30s are good cars, not totally flawed Volkswagen Group understeering junk.

Another great video Harry love the mix of videos including the look back at some of the classics - thank you for sharing! 👏👏👏👏👏

Slight correction on Mr. Wolfgang Hatz. He seems to have joined Porsche F1 in 1989, meaning he didn't work on the highly succesful 1983 TAG Turbo V6, but the disastrous 3.5L V12 which appeared with Footwork Arrows in 1991. That giant underpowered brute was in essence two TAG turbos slapped together with a central power take-off. It was big, heavy, slow and kept exploding, forcing Footworkt to revert to older Cosworth V8s. Porsche then developed a V10 to replace the V12, which ended up in the ill-fated 9R3 Le Mans Prototype and eventually the Carrera GT.

❤🎉 from Sweden, such a gem of a chanel, humble and honest approach to life and cars vs. everybody else out there 😊

One of the great Audi’s along with a Coupe Quattro. I did a track day at Goodwood, when these where brand new, and one of the car we where using was an RS4. The guy was showing me how to drive it, and lost it, we ended up going through the gravel sideways. Was a great car and day.

Thanks Harry I loved the cars from that period, quick and practical.

Watched every video related to the B7, glad to know that there's still new reviews coming up after all these years.

You said it: High piston speeds is the answer for how you can achieve high torque and high revs from a naturally aspirated motor, but it isn't easy to make a motor capable of this (think Cosworth's Valkyrie engine and Murray's T50). The benefits of going oversquare with engine set up (like a Porsche or Subaru) is that you can get high revs without fast piston speeds, because the strokes are short. This type of engine has high horsepower but lower torque. But with long stroke (relative to the bore), or under square engines, as Harry said, it gives you the higher torque, but typically fewer revs. To achieve a car like Audi, where you get the high torque but also high horsepower (high revs), you need the engine to also be able to withstand high piston speeds in order to do similar revs as an over square engine. If you can do this, you get high torque because of the stroke, but then the high rpm. Cool stuff.

After the 90th cars got really good like this one! Thanks so much for re-reviewing and sharing!!!

I'm old enough to remember how the motoring press was astonished by this car, and the launch of the R8. Fun times back then.

A sunday treat, thank you Harry!

Great entertainment Harry. The difficulty is that running these hugely complicated engines is a nightmare in the real world. It also marks the point at which changing the engine oil & filter at much more frequent intervals than recommended by the manufacturer does not all-but exclude the possibility of catastrophic failure. It might not charm the Burghers at Audi, but including a couple of quotes for clutch/DMF replacement could be useful for peeps tempted to start mooching around the classifieds…………

Harry, the oldies appear so much more ready to deliver on many levels. Another great piece.

A friend of mine had the sedan version which I drove on many occasions. It was truly a special car back then and even more so now. He had fitted a lightweight flywheel and an ECU tune. The engine revved to redline like a maniac.

A great way to start your mornings...I am glad and so very thankful to have at least owned a naturally aspirated V8 car at least once in my life...I highly recommend it!

Cracking insight as always Mr M. Think the RS4 was on the cover of one of my first EVO magazines....

I agree, this era was peak Audi. I had a B5 A4 2.8 at the time, and nothing I’ve driven since has had the same rock-solid feel and attention to the tactility of everything. I still clearly remember the feeling of opening and shutting the rear doors- perfection!

What a fabulous video, thanks. I have the exact same vehicle but in Australia and with 143k kms. I adore it and have original roof racks with Thule bike racks atop. I always look back as a I walk away. Been in love with the car since Clarkson raced it against the rock climbers. Thanks again!

I remember when Evo first reviewed the B7. It had the M3 seriously worried for the first time. And I loved Evo’s description of the looks- restrained muscle, like a body builder with his jacket on. Modern RS4s are so uncouth by comparison.

I love how subtle this car is. It's a car that is classy and useful but also very fast. A car you could pack up for camping and still hoon it up a mountain
