On the Surface:

A superb example of the first-generation RS4, finished in Audi Avus Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior. An aftermarket touchscreen head unit brings modern functionality to the otherwise original and well-kept cabin.

Maintenance & History:

Supplied new by Dane Audi of Cheshire in 2000, the car has been owned by The Vendor for the past year and has had four former keepers. This RS4 boasts a comprehensive history file including a dyno report showing pre- and post-remap power outputs, MOT certificates, and a large collection of invoices documenting parts, servicing and maintenance. The original Audi book pack is present, containing all handbooks and a service schedule displaying 21 stamps — 13 from main dealers and 8 from Audi specialists — covering servicing from 2002 at 7,326 miles through to 2024 at 112,053 miles.

In October 2024, this RS4 received a new timing belt, tensioners, and a fresh set of tyres, ensuring excellent mechanical health. It also benefits from a full Milltek exhaust system, Forge diverter valves, and an AmD remap completed in March 2009, increasing power output to approximately 440 bhp. The car has been diligently maintained throughout its life, supported by a detailed service record that reflects attentive ownership and consistent upkeep.

The Model:

The Audi RS4 (B5) marked the beginning of Audi Sport GmbH’s high-performance legacy. Developed as the successor to the Porsche/Quattro GmbH-engineered RS2 Avant, the RS4 was launched in 1999 and produced between 1999 and 2001, with just 6,030 units built worldwide. Powered by a 2.7-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 380 bhp in standard form, it offered blistering performance with everyday practicality, thanks to the six-speed manual gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive. Priced at around £46,500 when new, it quickly became a cult classic among performance enthusiasts.

Sale Insight:

This is a well-documented and enthusiast-owned example of Audi’s first RS4, combining strong provenance with tasteful performance upgrades and an exemplary maintenance record. With recent major servicing, a power enhancement and a full supporting history, this RS4 represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Audi’s most revered and collectible performance estates — ready to be both driven and admired.
