Wow I had no idea that the production for the RS4 was going to end this fast. Both good and bad though.

stop smokin crack man...haha

anyways its sad..that the production will end..
but i guess this is what you get when you release the top dog version when the base car is near the end of its life..

Not a chance! Maybe their trying to pull a 52 fake out so when the next gen comes out will all be like !!

Seems a shame Audi has made such a great car as the RS4, and then stop making it this quickly. I like the way RS models are so exclusive, but don't think they should end production now!

Also, it seems weird that they would end production of the sedan, but not the cab or avant!

Of course when production of regular model ends also the production of performance model is ceased. Performance model (eg. RS4) can't be made without donor body, interior etc of regular model.

Being that RS / S, AMG, or M.

So, it's normal Audi will end RS4 production later this year!



RS6 has nothing to do with that ...


PS: avant and cabrio will continue to be produced for a further next months untill new A4 avant & A5 cabrio are introduced. So as an aftermath RS4 avant & cabrio will still be produced as well.

Compared to the older E46 M3 and C55 AMG, the RS4 was arguably the superior and faster car. Now the RS4 will bow out on top, without ever having to compare to the newer models coming from M and AMG.....brilliant move Audi.

I think Audi will let the RS5 to deal with the M3.

And the new A4 not being that far away, I hope they will learn a lesson and release the next RS4 very much earlier in the models lifecircle.

just saw the article on leftlane..and im truly surprised..
Could low sales have played a possibe part??

I also believe they are only stopping production until after the new A4 is released. The future RS4 will even handle better with the engine mounted further back in the engine bay. This will help it compete better with the new M3. IMO the RS4 is too porky. Maybe they will be able to shed some weight with fewer standard options and lighter but more expensive materials.

RS cars are only suppose to have a lifespan of two years, though there has been talk on increasing that number to 3.
