Muscular: The Exterior Design

The front of the RS 4 Avant stands for uncompromising sportiness. The RS 4 Avant differs significantly from the A4 and S4 Avant*. The Singleframe is wider and flatter than on the base model. Like its big RS brothers the RS 6 Avant* and the RS 7 Sportback*, the RS 4 Avant also features the RS-typical, three-dimensional honeycomb structure in glossy black. The frameless Singleframe creates a sporty look that is stripped down to the essentials. The honeycomb grille with an RS 4 badge is installed directly in the bumper with the large side air intakes and vertical flaps.

The optional matrix LED headlights with darkened bezels complete the face of the high-performance Avant and differentiate it within the A4 family. Compared to the Audi A4 Avant*, the wheel arches with the quattro blisters above are 30 mm (1.2 in.) wider on both sides in the front and rear. Glossy black design elements that sit right next to the headlights emphasize the wide stance of the RS 4 Avant.

The glossy black, matte aluminum, and carbon and matte carbon optics packages (exclusive for competition packages and style package bronze Audi exclusive) add individual accents to the inlay in the rocker panel, the exterior mirror housings, and the front and rear bumper. For the glossy black and carbon optics packages, the Audi rings and RS lettering on the front and rear are also available in black on request. For more understatement, if desired, the RS badges can be omitted entirely. The roof rails come in matte black as standard equipment. The RS-specific roof edge spoilers, the diffuser insert, and the oval chrome tailpipes of the RS exhaust system form the striking finish. The optional RS sport exhaust systems in either glossy or matte black tailpipe trims create a particularly sporty sound experience. The driver can decide whether they want a sporty or subdued sound via the Audi drive select dynamic handling system.
