Hmm..where should I start? It’s been several hours since I drove that car, and I’m still walking around with a smile. To day was really like a dream come true. I’ve been following the RS4 from the very first start, and it has been my dream car since day 1 it got shown. It’s not often that you actually get a chance to drive such a powerful vehicle. I know I’ve been wanting to drive the RS4 B5 for 5 years now, but never got a chance. My most powerful Audi I have driven until today, was a 335 hp tuned S4 BiTurbo.
Anyways, I asked Audi 5 months ago, if there would ever be an oppurtunity of testdriving the new Audi RS4. They said that they will have a ”S Power Tour” that will hit my town in the beginning of september, and to have a chance to testdrive the most powerful Audis, you should sign up. And so I did directly.
And today came the day.
When we arrived at the Audi Center in Malmoe, you could see 5 silver cars with ”S Power Tour” written on the side. It was a scene that you not often can even imagine. To see Audi S8, Audi S6, Audi RS4, Audi S4 Cabriolet and Audi Allroad next to eachother like that. Also next to them was a black new TT.
Well, I had 60 minutes with the RS4. I got a very kind man to go with me on the drive.
Just when I sat in the car..you felt that those seats just grabbed you. It was an incredible feeling only that. Then, after some words, it was time to turn the key, and push that ”Start Engine” button. Wrrrrooooooooaaammmmmmm! Ohh…god what a sound!
Then we pulled away calmly from the Audi Center, and out on the road.I think I was going about 30km/h when I decided to give it a full throatle… And… That moment… I can easily say… Was undesctibable. Sure I can imagine the rich people driving their Lambos and Ferraris and all those exotic cars. But me, a normal person, with a normal salary, this really was a very special time… When I pushed that gas pedal to the bottom…. Oh my god. It was like a lion..or a bear..o I don’t know what! You just felt soooo much power and wrooooooooooooooom…Away like a rocket. Up to 65 km/h in the 1st gear..in with the 2nd to 120km/h… And still it is just roaring like hell!!! I was shaking! It was like actually drive a rollercoaster. During those 60 minutes, I was enjoying every single one of them. I just couldn’t stop pushing the car over and over… It was something I knew I wouldn’t do for a long time again. In the middle of all that, I was also filmed by my friend, to give you a little inside info of what it looked like. We also stopped and took some pictures. What a beats!! I mean, not only the INCREDIBLE engine… but everything else. The exterior.. I mean, what a freakin hot car. It’s low, phat, wide…. Ahh. And the interior just amazed me so much! I really looove the stearing wheel! The mocca around it and that little aluminum in the bottom. Just perfect. I now udnerstand why people have named this car the ultimate driving machine. Those 60 minutes passed pretty fast, and we had to go back to the Centre. When we arrived, I also got a chance to actually sit in the S8, equipped with the cheramic breaks and the B&O sound system. I also got to start the engine on that beast. I filmed everything for you all. I just had to show you this. This is something very incredible. The S8 is HUGE. And it’s so sexy and phat! This must be the nr maffia car  And the sound syatem… oh gosch.. .And that interior… Wow. I could go on and on, but I don’t think you need to hear that. I mean, it’s a freakin AUDI S8 we are talking about here  The sound of the V10 is also amazing. You just gotta experience that to really understand it.
Other impressive cars that I took a closer look on, was the Audi S6. Those l-e-d lights in front are soooo hot! I also checked out the S4 Cabriolet. It looks so nice and smooth compare to the RS4. Okay, I will shut my mouth now, and show you some movies and also pics. Hope you could feel my happiness at least a bit :)

The beauty I drove.

Peeew. That was my longest post ever here. Hope it was worth writing and taking pics, and that you will enjoy it :)

:t-drive:

P.S. My normally fast A4 felt like a Fiat 600 on the way home... :D
 
FREAKIN SWEET MAN! Thanks Audiholic. Too bad i'm at work, otherwise I would watch all the videos right now....hopefully on my lunch break I can watch them.

Thanks for the write-up and pics and video! :t-cheers: It's awesome
 
Great review! Great pictures! And the most important: awesome car! I didn't have a chance to sit in it but I saw it, it's amazing! I'm not sure new M3 will be much better! I don't know! Karma for you! :)
 
wow man super..congrats..its especially fun when a true Fan of the brand can have such a day.. so well deserved..

PS
Will that S tour go around to all major citys in sweden?
 
Beautiful car and excellent presentation! You rate a major kudo for the video and stills and the enthusiasm for Audi. Thanks for such a great post.
 
awwwwww. you lucky son of a gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the RS4 acceleration was freeakin stupid fast!!! Amazing...Karma givin
 
I love reading the "first drive - first ride" reports. It takes me right back to my first drive. Congratulations Audiholic - you deserve it! :usa7uh:

The funny thing is that I feel exactly the same way 3 months later. The RS 4 is one of a rare breed of cars that has the ability to excite its owner every time they turn the key.

I find myself making excuses to drive, finding errands to run that I would have avoided before. In fact, when I get home from work, I start looking forward to going back to work in the morning - just so I can drive it again.

Sick, huh?
 
Fantastic, great review. Karma for you!

Makes me feel a little ashamed of not trying the S8 first before getting the Quattroporte... :eusa_doh: It looks like an awesome package.
 
well written and nice pictures. You deserve to drive the RS4 :usa7uh:

Im qouting you:
"Anyways, I asked Audi 5 months ago, if there would ever be an oppurtunity of testdriving the new Audi RS4. They said that they will have a ”S Power Tour” that will hit my town in the beginning of september, and to have a chance to testdrive the most powerful Audis, you should sign up."

Did you sign up 5 months ago or yesterday?
So you need to speak to your audi dealer a couple of weeks before S-tour come to your Audi dealer?
 
If I were you I would have made some fantastic lie to take one of those cars home!!! Awesome pics dude!!!
 
First of all, thank you for the nice words. I am glad you all liked the review! I wish you all could have been there with me.

Now to answer some questions:

Yes it is :) And believe me. To see it on video, and to actually floor it the the max yourself, is two different words. I still feel that bruuummmmm in my whole body :t-drive:

Man, I totally understand you. If I would have such a car, I would sleep in it. I would tell my wife I want to go shopping to France or something. I envy you so much! Now that I now what this car really is.

Oh Mirage, you really should! The car is really amazing. That sound of the V10 is sick.

If I were you, I would go to my nearest Audi dealer today, and sign up for this :)

And I also want to point out something. "Sorry" for not driving any faster... But you have no idea how hard & tough the police are in Sweden, so I had to take it somehow "easy". And I also had an Audi-guy with me.
Also, I feel so ashamed that I forgot to film outside, when the car accelerated. It would have been so cool. But I was just in such a chock all that hour :)
