Cynical about the Audi RS4 Competition? You shouldn't be - here's why
and without the stunning carbon buckets seen here. Because for the RS4 swansong, Audi Sport has finally pulled its finger out and created, on this experience at least, quite a special car. If whatever comes next can engage its owner like this, then the future holds fewer concerns.
Is it valid to test the Competition on track? Some will inevitably say no, because it’s a big Audi family bus. On the other hand, fast estates really ought to be the do-it-all performance car, and fitting anything with coilovers, semi-slick Pirellis and ceramic front brakes does rather signal some intent.
The steering proves what a menace variable ratio is, imbued as it is with actual sensation and therefore some faith in the correlation between your input and the front wheels. As the nose washes out a bit, the throttle can be closed and you can feel the line tighten exactly how it should. The Competition ably deals with kerbs and successive changes of direction in a fashion that’s again unfamiliar, and points to some methodical, expensive upgrades.
It’s all the more surprising given Audi spends as much time talking about how the usability of the RS4 has been retained as it does discussing how the dampers have 12 settings for low-speed rebound and 15 for high speed. This is very much intended as another everyday RS4 rather than some Project 8-style road racer and that’s borne out by the reality: the Competition is just as comfy on the road as a regular RS.
