Audi has chosen to offer the car with a pile of standard equipment due to its limited production. No-cost options include Audi’s navigation system, Bluetooth, Sirius Satellite Radio, a Bose sound system, heated front and rear seats, bi-Xenon headlamps, a rear parking system, iPod connectivity, a rain and light sensor, and brushed-aluminum interior inlays.
Of course all that is just icing on the cake when considering the heart of the RS 4 Cabriolet is the same powerhouse as found in the sedan version — a 4.2-liter V-8 that pushes out 420 horses and 317 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. As with the sedan, the only available transmission is a proper six-speed manual. If that won’t keep the poseurs at bay, nothing will.
All in all, the droptop RS 4 should present some competition to Porsche’s 911 Cabrio when it finally hits showrooms. While the smart money says the Porsche would likely fare better on the track, the RS 4 will arguably offer more exclusivity.
