UK prices have just been finalised for the first ever Audi RS sun trap - the new RS 4 quattro Cabriolet – and also for the eagerly awaited Avant estate version with which it is currently sharing the limelight at the International Auto Show in Geneva. The RS 4 quattro Avant is now available to order for an OTR price of £51,780 OTR, and the RS 4 quattro Cabriolet becomes available on March 16th at £59,580 OTR. UK deliveries of both variants are set to begin in late summer.
Now at full strength, the first RS range in any segment in Audi history to offer a choice of three body styles is also notable for containing the world’s fastest and most powerful compact executive saloon, medium-size four-seater cabriolet and medium-size estate car.
Specification for the new models is broadly similar to the RS 4 quattro Saloon that reaches its first UK customers this month, with the addition of matt aluminium roof rails for the Avant, and for the Cabriolet a 6 CD changer, DVD satellite navigation and a change from Valcona leather upholstery to Silk Nappa leather with contrast piping.
Following their débuts at this month’s International Auto Show in Geneva, the new RS 4 quattro Cabriolet and the replacement for the widely acclaimed RS 4 quattro Avant estate have just joined the recently launched RS 4 quattro Saloon in the UK Audi range. UK prices have just been confirmed for the 420PS, V8-powered newcomers, with the Avant at £51,780 OTR and the Cabriolet at £59,580 OTR. Avant orders can be taken now, and the Cabriolet model becomes available on March 16 in time for summer 2006 deliveries.
