Audi RS4 Review: The last ever V8 B8 RS4 engine is an absolute beast!

[@pr1sm55]

IMHO the B8 series are absolutely timeless. Especially the pre-facelift. The shape, they way they can be driven, interior etc. - absolutely stunning.

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Yeah I completely agree mate! Excellent motors

[@AlgorhythmKid]

Just bought one myself. Picking it up this Sunday. Then a casual 400 mile drive home to London from Glasgow.

[@AlgorhythmKid]

Just watched your video again. Update on my purchase is... I'm not disappointed at all. The thing is a rocket 🚀! I used to have a B5, but this new V8 is fantastic. I hear what you're saying with the blue, but with this one I searched for the full black and carbon packs. The plan was to go full Bat mobile with it esthetically. Performance-wise. Remap and super non resonated Milltek exhaust being fitted mid October down at Regal Autosport in Southampton. It's going to be LOUD!

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Glad you're enjoying it mate, they're amazing motors! That remap and Milltek will really set it apart

[@ryan.ywilkinson7695]

Looking at a B8 RS4 as my next car, dropped on your review and I’m impressed, good work pal.

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Cheers mate, great car all round to be honest and if you don't mind the running costs you definitely won't be disappointed, that's basically the only down side... The noise of the downshift is very addictive just so you know haha

[@longnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame]

@@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews yes the downshifts make everyone smile

Thanks mate, really appreciate that :)

[@kilsha9477]

Your video really motivates me to buy that car 🤝

[@JP_RS6]

Just bought one of these beast, 2014 in the same colour. You're right it does stand out. The Sports suspensions is the Dynamic Chassis Control (DSC) which is just adaptive dampers, stiffens the dampers up depending on the setting you choose and makes the steering stiffer. I'm sure this quattro system split the power 40/60 front/rear, i dont think it has torque vectoring.

[@Mike_Salmons_Socks]

Great car, I had one of the last ones new in 2015 for a couple of years - but as you observe at 3:26 you need the revs up to get the best out of that V8. Awesome noise, always got loads of positive attention when I was driving it. Great review, brings back happy memories....get in those tunnels!! Those 'blips' at 5:55 occasionally give you a little bit of flame out of the tail pipes.

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Thanks mate, really appreciate that! Yeah its a lovely car, shame they don't make them with V8 engines anymore. The noise is irreplaceable in my opinion and if it has capability to throw out the odd tailpipe flame then you can't complain haha

[@christianobrien6553]

My dad has an eye on this same one but in red, personally i love the v8 engine and the downshift is so satisfying hopefully this vid would convince him to buy one, great video mate 🙏

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Thanks a lot. The downshift is very addictive to be fair haha I honestly doubt he will be disappointed if he gets one, and you only live once... I'd say go for it 👍😃

[@nunoduraes6623]

I got one with me for 5 years already and i can tell you i never get tired of the v8 sound 😉

[@christianobrien6553]

nuno duraes yeah man, turns out my dad bought a m5 f10 instead so yh 😂

[@dougiestewart3152]

Nice review. Amazing car. End of an era... Last of the RS4 V8s.

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Thanks mate, yeah they don't make them like this anymore unfortunately. If I had the money i'd buy a B7 RS4 and just keep it in storage for the odd blast every now and then haha

[@michaelhirst4634]

Lovely setting for a car review in the summer, or the winter actually haha :)

[@jackellis38]

I have just bought this car from the video, interesting to know its past life.

[@benward1647]

It’s an absolute bit of kit. Sheppy always has it looking good. Great review 👍

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Cheers mate, great motor! was gutted to give it back haha

[@timbrownridge5022]

Merlin purple best colour but blue is nice

[@ANDYSTUNEtwo]

I had a gorgeous Pearl black one for 8months ., unfortunately I got burgled for it 🤬 Fancy another one now unbelievable car !!

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Ah nightmare! Sorry to hear that mate I hope you had it recovered

[@richscrinsonphonegg8842]

Does the RS4 B8 drive any different to the RS5 B8? I know they're the same platform but did Audi tweek anything like the steering electronics between the two??

[@PrettyGreenMonk]

Good review m8

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

cheers mate :)

[@JamieVWCC]

Been looking into purchasing a B7 recently but seen that the price on the B8 is coming down so checked out this video... i'm torn on which one i would like to get aha

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Either way I doubt you'll be disappointed mate haha both great cars

[@JamieVWCC]

@Michael mcc Yeah pretty much the same for me, the b7 interior is what kind of puts me off (stereo and dash etc) thinking about the b8 as its newer and just has more of the wow factor when you are sat inside it

[@JamieVWCC]

@Michael mcc Yeah, you too man! I think it may have to be the B8 for me now, but if i do still get a B7 i think ill be spending some more money on interior after ive bought it

[@uttoxeterscaffolding]

Exactly the same as my old one. Great car but absolutely no torque.

Does he still have the car? What major issues did it have?

[@odin5188]

The suspension is the big bill, my bro had one. Loved it but it comes with RS tax

[@craigsmith1456]

I’ve just bought one. Had it for 2 months now! In love with it! If you are thinking of getting one, and worried if it will cost you a lot to maintain. Don’t bother getting one, as the guy said, apart from the car being a pisshead. Everything is RS billed 😂. Even tyres. 1 goes, have to get both done, and that cost me £685 for 2 . But I love it and know what I’ve got myself into 🫡

[@R55LSD]

Do you live near Corbridge?

[@RobinsonsSelectCarReviews]

Just outside of Corbridge yeah, well spotted :)
