The reason is obvious...its faster than an s4 to start with, much faster.
Add another 15 k to an rs4 and you have a supercar.
Next year you will be able to get RS4'S here in the USA, and trust me you will DROOL, when you see a 500 hp on the market, capable of doing a 0-60 in 3.9 seconds...
There are differences in the engine of course, the cylinder heads, the fuel injectors...cams and pistons...

New or Used RS4 Engine question - liquid_X 2002-09-13 11:25:30 (570 views)

I only spent $60 for mine used with 8,000 miles on it. Luv It!!! - XTRALOW 2002-02-10 09:48:25 (1678 views)

Agree absolutely although you can buy a second hand RS4 for about $50K now - EuroDriver 2002-02-10 09:16:49 (1532 views)

RS4 would be a much better base for modding, simple mods would probably yield 420-450hp - L F S 4 2002-02-10 07:17:29 (1108 views)

Read on RS4.org that Quattro Ghmb tuned the RS4 engine to 450 BHP .... - RichardS4 2002-02-10 08:02:02 (2499 views)

Where could you buy an RS4 engine? - mjbuch3 2002-02-10 12:22:10 (2351 views)

I agree; S4 with mods is still a better deal - bobbO 2002-02-10 01:28:56 (1583 views)

33k in upgrades and no warrenty left...that's one reason to go straight to the RS4 - Bill in SoCal 2002-02-10 00:12:55 (1339 views)
