The first drive with my new RS4 sedan!

This video has been trending in Austria, and Germany

The vlogger starts the video by picking up his freshly built Audi RS4 sedan. From the very first shots he stresses how rare this body style is, as the RS4 was officially sold only as an Avant. He explains that the car is a painstakingly converted B7 RS4 that originally began life as an A4 but has now received every RS component—from the wide-body kit and axles to the high-revving V8. Inside the workshop he also highlights details such as the ceramic brakes, sport suspension and various carbon parts in the cabin.

After a brief run-through of the technical specs (4.2-liter V8 with 420 hp, manual gearbox, quattro all-wheel drive) they set off on the first drive. The driver shares his impressions of the clutch, steering feel and engine sound, which is considerably louder and more aggressive than stock thanks to a custom exhaust. A key focus is the comparison with his previous RS6: although the RS4 has less power, it feels more agile and direct, especially in tight bends.

In the middle part of the video he tests several driving modes, demonstrates launch-control-style starts, and comments on the naturally aspirated engine’s eagerness to rev, noting that it only unleashes its full performance above 6,000 rpm. He repeatedly emphasizes how unique the RS4 sedan feels compared with modern turbo models because the power delivery and sound are markedly more linear.

Finally he discusses future plans: a software update, lighter wheels, possibly shedding more weight with bucket seats, and a paint correction along with paint-protection film. He wraps up by summarizing the first drive: although the conversion costs were high, the result makes them worthwhile—he now owns a car that combines performance, rarity and driving fun perfectly
