V8s, twin-turbocharged in-line sixes, lashings of carbon-fibre, dual-clutch automatics, sub-4.5 second zero to 100km/h acceleration times and room for five occupants are all terms that are thrown in the mix when talking about the aforementioned class of car.
However, Audi’s heritage with performance wagons is what it is hoping will set it apart from its contemporary rivals as it launches its new-generation RS4 Avant.
While Mercedes also offers its AMG C63 S with a big booty, Audi has been building fast wagons since the early 90s with its first RS model, the RS2.
Ditching the previous version’s V8 in favour of a Porsche-sourced 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6, does the latest Audi RS4 Avant have the guts to go toe-to-toe with the razor-sharp BMW M3 and brutish Mercedes-AMG C63 S?
