The B7 RS4 was a drastic departure from previous Audi RS models being available initially as a four-door saloon with the Avant Estate and the Cabriolet arriving later, unlike the previous RS4 and RS2 which were available exclusively as Avants. In manufacture between 2006-2008, the B7 was constructed from fully galvanised steel in a monocoque design with the RS4 benefiting from lightweight Aluminium front wings and bonnet. Despite the wide flared arches, large air intakes and low and purposeful stance, the RS4 had a class-leading drag coefficient. The engine of the B7 RS4 is based on the existing all-alloy 4163cc V8 from the B6 S4 and shared many parts with the 4.2 FSI V8 in the Q7. Producing 414bhp at 7,800rpm, the power is fed through a Getrag 6-speed manual gearbox and out to all four wheels with the aid of Audi’s trademark ‘Quattro’ permanent four-wheel-drive system.
Manufactured in 2007, ‘FT07 NYN’ was supplied new by Grimsby Audi on the 4th of August 2007 to its first and sole keeper. Finished in Light Silver metallic with the classic RS cockpit in Black RS4 leather interior. Having covered just 60,053 miles (at time of consignment), the RS4 was well-specified from new with CD changer; powered and heated mirrors; rear and side windows tint; ultrasonic parking sensors amongst many others. Rated as ‘excellent’ condition throughout by the vendor, the Audi is in unmolested condition.
Benefitting from some cosmetic restoration in 2021 to the cost of approximately £1900, the RS4 has accompanying invoices for work completed with notable invoices including two equating to c.£9,200 worth of expenditure at Grimsby Audi in 2018 encompassing four suspension shock absorber regulators, air conditioning regassing, new front and rear brake discs and pads and more. Accompanied by a history file that comprises the original book pack with a stamped service book (displaying eight services all from Grimsby Audi), a vast collection of service and work invoices, previous MOT certificates and tax discs and a V5C document. A rare, one-owner example of an undoubtable modern classic.
