It's been almost exactly a year since Audi revealed the new Audi RS4 Avant. The car is a legendary flagship of the A4 series that instantly twists the head of any Audi fan as it goes by and maybe fills his head with naught thoughts.
That's because the RS4 has always been amazing to listen to, more so than basically any other Audi with the exception of the R8 and RS6.

For the latest model, Audi decided to use the most powerful version of their legendary 4.2-liter V8 engine, churning out 450PS (444bhp) at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 430 Nm (317.15 lb-ft).

That's a 30 HP improvement over the old RS4 Avant. That power comes at a price we're actually glad to pay, as the exhaust is powerful and throaty at low revs, and just as sporty as an R8 when you're stepping on the gas. This is a man's car!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
