Imola Yellow Returns With Audi RS4 Avant 25

Audi is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the RS4 Avant with a very hot special edition model: the Audi RS4 Avant 25.

The new RS4 Avant 25 brings 464 hp and at 443 lb-ft of torque from its 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine, a 20 hp increase over the standard RS4. It dashes from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than its predecessor, and will top out at 186 mph.

Audi gave the special RS4 Avant a fully adjustable coilover system which can lower the ride height by nearly a full inch compared to the standard RS4. Increased front axle camber and stiffer control arms improve lateral grip, while a fixed subframe on the rear axle provides precise suspension feedback.

Power-down performance is improved with an upgraded quattro sport differential which adds more rearward bias for increased driving fun, while updated transmission software allows for faster shifting and more distinct driving modes. Other modifications include the RS ceramic brake system ensuring some serious decel, and the RS sport exhaust system plus with matte black tailpipes.

The RS4 Avant 25 will ride on Pirelli P Zero Corsa high-performance tires on 20” alloy wheels finished in what Audi calls Palladium matte. Showing how serious Audi is about performance, owners will receive a set of Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tires mounted on 20” alloy wheels finished in black matte. The wheels have sensors compatible with the Pirelli Track Adrenaline system which offers real-time tire data via an app, enhancing racetrack performance. Alpinestars gloves with yellow accents are included for track use.

Painted in Imola Yellow like the original, other design elements like glossy black window trims, darkened Matrix LED headlight bezels, and a lack of roof rails distinguish the RS4 Avant 25. Nardo Gray and Mythos Black are also available as exterior colors.

Interior features include yellow stitching, carbon-backed RS bucket seats, and numbered center console badges. An optional flat-bottom suede steering wheel with yellow stitching is available. Audi is also releasing a limited-edition Chronograph RS4 Avant 25 watch, mirroring the car’s design.

The car will be available starting in June, but just 250 cars will be produced–unfortunately, none are scheduled for North America.
