Default Hmmm, 3rd & 4th gear are lower than that found on the U.S. S4 but otherwise gearing is identical

Perhaps this is the lower gear ratio that is rumored for the U.S. S4 in 2001. I thought the S4 & RS4 had the same gear ratios.

I also found it interesting that the Cd for the RS4 is 0.34 -- it is only 0.31 for the S4 (per similar tech spec sheet for the S4) -- I guess wider tires and Avant form really hurt aerodynamics.

Default I call your attention to: quattro GmbH has designed the RS4 on the basis of the Audi S4 Avant as...

the supreme model in the A4 series and developed it in conjunction with AUDI AG.

The RS4, which, like its predecessor the RS2, is to be produced exclusively as an Avant model, will impress discerning customers who favour sports-style driving, thanks to its superlative performance.
