Here's a nice (p)review of the Audi RS4 with a very funny introduction: "With temperatures soaring, where better to test Audi’s red-hot new RS4 Cabriolet than the UK?".
A better place for a cabrio testing than the UK???? How many do you want...
It’s the same 414bhp 4.2-litre V8 as in the saloon, and the pace is electrifying, even though this model is heavier. An extra 195kg adds two-tenths-of-a-second to the 0-60mph time, but the RS4 still hits the mark in 4.9 seconds.
A simple tweak of the right foot is all it takes to unleash this surge of power, especially when you activate Sports mode using the steering wheel-mounted button. It sharpens throttle response and prompts the electrically adjustable bolsters on the bucket seats to grip you even more tightly.
If you do find somewhere to stretch the Cabriolet’s legs, you’ll find that it’s impressively refined, and with the hood in place the cabin is nearly as quiet as the saloon’s. Lowering the fully automated roof takes 21 seconds, and once folded even high motorway speeds are free from buffeting.
Few cars can match the RS4’s cross-country abilities, and the addition of a convertible makes for a truly unique proposition.
