RS4 saloon - auto gearbox or not?

[AMG Merc]

Hi all

I'm of a mind that the RS4 saloon only comes with a manual gearbox and am having an ongoing 'discussion' with someone who says they come with a tiptronic box - who is right (and gets the drinks bought for them)?

According to wikipedia.

A six-speed manual transmission (parts code prefix: 01E, identification code: FDP) (gear ratios - 1st: 3.500, 2nd: 1.889, 3rd: 1.320, 4th: 1.034, 5th: 0.806, 6th: 0.684), cooled by a NACA duct in the engine undertray, and Audi's Torsen T-2 quattro permanent four-wheel drive system were standard. Final drive ratio is 4.111.

Not really a credible source, but you could go digging further.

Time for your friend to get the drinks in.
It only comes with a manual box.

Yup.
OP, your friend os probably thinking of the S4 - that was available with both

As said, definitely manual only.
And if your mates are anything like most of mine, here's the proof:

You know the answer now but I couldn't resist.

Proper gearbox only in RS4, no slushmatic or flappy paddle nonsense, thank god!

And with noisey button engaged just about the most satisfying car imaginable to perfect heel and toe braking in - what a sound!

Thanks lads - thought so!
