Good buy. Those are getting collectible now given the B8 although fast is a bit of a yawner.

No its a V8 in the RS4. The V10 is in the S8 as an option.

Congrats OP! Always loved the RS4.

Make sure you remove the rear window spoiler and enjoy it in good health

Had one of those as a loaner for a couple days. What a blast to drive. Enjoy.

V10 was actually in the S6 and S8 of the era, but to say it was a derivative of the Lamborghini is a bit of a stretch. Yes, they are both 5.2L, but have unique heads, cylinder bore, valves, injection, etc. But I digress.

Regardless, congrats on picking up a great little car. I've driven both the 2007 RS4 and 2010 S4, and while the S is better on paper, the RS is much more of a thrilling/visceral drive. Just get ready for some nose-heavy understeer.

Nice car. Given slightly different circumstances I would have bought one back then when new.

Enjoy! Cheers
