Below are some pictures of an Audi RS4. Or are they? Can you tell from the pictures if this is a genuine RS4 or not?:

The plate was in the pics, therefore I got it from them. Also I don't think you get RS4s with cloth.

All looks pretty convincing to me - starter button, correct steering, correct fascia etc. One minor thing though, if you look closely at the rev meter in picture one you cannot see the "RS4" writing normally present on RS4s.

Rev counter doesn't have enough revs. Not a bad effort, but it's not the real deal.

RS4 came out on 06 plate... And that 05 plate on the car looks now't like a private one #sherlock

The seats are a huge give away. I'd like to know why too though, seems pointless.
