2025 Audi RS4 Avant Edition 25 Years

In 1999, Audi introduced the RS4 Avant as the successor to the Porsche / Quattro GmbH joint venture-developed Audi RS2 Avant. 25 years later, the Ingolstadt-based company unveiled a limited edition of this model, the Audi RS4 Avant Edition 25 Years.

The special edition is finished in Imola Yellow, and customers can also choose Nardo Gray or Mythos Black. It is equipped with a stiffer suspension thanks to which it is 10 mm lower than the standard RS4 Avant, and an RS sports exhaust system with matte black oval tailpipes. There are also 20-inch forged wheels borrowed from the RS4 Avant Competition, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. The car also comes with a second set of exclusive 20-inch matte black wheels with P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tires.

Under the bonnet is a 2.9-L twin-turbo V6 engine with 470 hp (350 kW) and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. Thanks to 20 hp more, the special edition is 0.4 seconds faster than the standard model, and 0.2 seconds faster than the RS4 Avant Competition. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).

Audi will produce only 250 examples of the RS4 Avant Edition 25 Years, and each car will cost 142,905 euros.

BMW Skytop is going into production after all

A few days ago, BMW presented the Skytop concept car at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which was then said not to enter production. However, it seems that BMW has changed its mind overnight, so we could see this car on the roads in the near future. According to Adrian van Hooydonk, head of design at BMW Group, the Bavarian company could produce 25 examples of this car in the next two years.

The Skytop concept was inspired by the 503 and Z8 models, and shares the platform with the current generation BMW M8 Competition. “The concept BMW Skytop perfectly fit into the philosophy and environment of the famous Italian exhibition, and the designers and engineers made an effort to create a car that brings with it an optimal combination of dynamics and elegance,” said the first man of the BMW design department, Adrian van Hooydonk.

In terms of design, the car is truly unique and exotic. Despite the proportions of a grand tourer, the open-top two-seater concept with a V8 engine offers a combination of dynamic driving and elegance at the highest level. Under the bonnet will be a 4.4-L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which also powers the M8, with 626 hp () and (750 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Although it was announced that BMW could produce 20-25 copies of the Skytop concept, Domagoj Dukec, head of BMW’s design, went even further saying that the idea of ​​producing a thousand copies is more attractive.

This is not the first time that BMW has openly considered production of the concept. Last year, the Z4-based BMW Touring Coupe Concept teased similar specs, but the project never went into production.

When it comes to the powertrain, buyers can choose between two 1.3-liter engines with mild hybrid technology, with 140 hp (104 kW) and 160 hp (119 kW). There’s also a 1.5-liter E-Power hybrid with 190 hp (142 kW), in which the internal combustion engine is only used to charge the battery and never drives the wheels directly.

The updated edition has a new front fascia inspired by the metallic armor of Japanese knights. Customers can choose from three new body colors: Pearl White, Pearl Black and Deep Ocean which changes depending on the lighting. New headlights with separate five-piece daytime running lights and new taillight graphics, a modified bumper that gives the car a sporty look, 18″ diamond-cut alloy wheels are now standard. New 20-inch alloy wheels, door sills and body-colored wheel arches are part of the N-Design package.

Inside, the dashboard, door inserts, door armrests, center console cover and knee rests of the higher versions are covered in Alcantara, giving the car extra luxury. Better equipped versions come with leather upholstery and ambient lighting in several shades. There is also a renewed Around View Monitor with footage from four external cameras that provide a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and enable easier parking, a 3D function that provides a wider view of the vehicle from all sides, and the Parking Sport Location Memory function.

Three years ago, Nissan launched the third generation of this model, which was sold in almost 400,000 units, so it is no surprise that the Japanese manufacturer decided to offer its customers a new refreshed edition.
