From Autocar Article:
As the revs rise, the V8 adopts a pure howl that continues to rise in pitch if not in tone. And it just keeps going and going and going with utter smoothness as if it would like to do this all day long, braying constantly until the fuel tank was dry. Shift into third with the quick and surprisingly satisfying gearchange and the RS4 suddenly feels very, very rapid. It’s the sort of power delivery that just keeps flowing as you snick up through the gears, so you can’t help growing horns and wanting to drive it flat out as much as possible, revelling in the extra 1000rpm over other performance engines, just as you might in a BMW M5.
