2001 Audi RS4

A fair chunk of the collector world shrugs their shoulders when an Audi rolls by. There are some exceptions, obviously; the Quattro and Sport Quattro have gained notoriety, and of course because it was touched by Stuttgart, the RS2 still has some serious street cred.

Pull up in this RS4, though, and most would have a tough time telling it apart from the 1.8T with vape clouds billowing from the windows. Their dismissal would be unfortunate, because the B5 RS4 is a serious machine. Quattro GmbH turned to corporate partner Cosworth Engineering to modify the 2.7 liter V6 twin-turbo, and the result was pretty astonishing for 2000: 375 horsepower in a manual wagon! Audi’s skunkwork quattro GmbH then gave the car a fitting set of modifications, from a unique interior with Recaro seats to wider track and flares – and, of course, the gaping guppy lower grills. Produced in low numbers, it’s even more rare to see in the United States since none were imported here originally.

Yet a few individuals have gone through the effort of Federalizing their RS4, and when they come up for sale it’s cause for a celebration!

While it might be hard to consider early 2000s cars as collectable since some here (ahem) still use them as daily drivers, the reality is that 90s and 2000s performance vehicles have been on the rise now that they’re the best part of 20 or more years old. I’m currently teaching some college students that were born after this car was made. Think about that.

Condition appears to be very good and the seller documents that the car also has had recent service which should make for a trouble-free exchange. The color isn’t the most exciting for the model but Avus is a great color. And pricing is quite reasonable in the grand scheme – $60,000 is in line with asking prices of brand new RS3s. Which would you rather have? Well, the RS3 is mighty impressive – but personally, I’d take the B5.
