2001 AUDI RS4 AVANT

We are delighted to offer this sublime Audi B5 RS4 Avant in quintessential Nogaro Blue. Presented in near time warp condition having covered a mere 26,500 miles from new. The ultimate iteration of Audis original performance estate car which now holds iconic status and with only 532 ever made for the UK market, has now earnt the label of modern classic. This is a true collector grade example.

The Audi RS4 (B5) Avant is widely regarded as one of the defining fast estates of the modern era and the model that established the RS badge as a serious performance offering. Produced between 1999 and 2001 in limited numbers, it was developed by Audi in partnership with Cosworth and is powered by a 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 380 PS (375 bhp) and 440 Nm of torque. Paired exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox and Audi's quattro four-wheel drive system, the RS4 combined impressive all-weather performance with genuine everyday practicality, reaching 62 mph in around 4.9 seconds while offering seating for five and a spacious luggage compartment. Compared with the contemporary S4, the RS4 featured extensively revised engine internals, larger turbochargers, upgraded brakes, wider bodywork and a comprehensively reworked suspension package.

Today, the B5 RS4 Avant is recognised as one of Audi's most collectible modern classics, valued for its analogue driving experience, rarity and understated appearance. As the first RS4 model ever produced, it occupies a significant place in Audi's performance car lineage and continues to attract enthusiasts seeking an engaging, usable performance car with long-term appeal. Buyers typically look for examples with comprehensive service history, evidence of regular cambelt and water pump replacement, well-maintained turbochargers and suspension, and originality wherever possible. Unmodified or sympathetically upgraded cars are particularly desirable, while documented maintenance, rust-free bodywork and a clean ownership history remain key factors in distinguishing the best examples. Combining everyday usability with genuine performance credentials, the B5 RS4 remains one of the most sought-after fast estates of its generation.
