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.

2025 Audi Q6L e-tron

The Chinese market is important for all car manufacturers, including Audi, which will, at Auto China: April 25 to May 4, 2024, present fully electric cars intended primarily for the demands of Chinese customers. Among them will be the Audi Q5 e-tron RS and Q6L e-tron, as well as the Audi SQ6, which will make its debut on the Chinese market.

“The Chinese market is central to the transformation of the Audi brand into a leading global provider of premium electric mobility. With the opening of the new factory in Changchun, locally developed electric models, and state-of-the-art digital technology tailored to users’ requirements, we are putting our plan for continued success into action,” said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner.

With the Q6L e-tron, Audi announces the arrival of a new PPE platform in China, on which Audi will produce its three versions of the Audi Q6 e-tron and Audi A6 e-tron until the end of 2024. The cars will be produced at the Audi FAW NEV in Changchun, which is the first Audi plant to do just that. Pre-series production at the new plant has already begun.

Redesigned Audi e-tron GT

In response to the Porsche Taycan, in 2021 Audi introduced a bold looking car, the Audi e-tron GT. It is an all-electric car that will soon receive its redesigned edition. However, before the official premiere of the new e-tron GT, Audi revealed a prototype of this model.

A first look reveals minor design changes compared to the current generation. These include a new front bumper with redesigned intakes, a new front fascia, and a redesigned rear diffuser. The car shown features a new set of aerodynamically optimized rims in black, and it has been announced that it will also be equipped with a new active suspension with hydraulic actuators. This will enable new adjustment options, which will give the driver a wider range of driving modes and settings, and ultimately further increase the comfort and driving dynamics of the electric model.

The biggest changes will be under the hood. At the top of the range of the new e-tron GT will be the RS Performance version, which will have more than 646 hp (482 kW). This is the same power that the current RS e-tron GT has, but still less than the competitor Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which has 952 hp (710 kW).

Audi hasn’t revealed much about the mechanical and technological improvements that come with the redesigned edition. However, if we look at the recently updated Porsche Taycan, the new e-tron GT has more powerful electric motors, faster charging up to 320 kW instead of up to 270 kW, and there is talk of a battery larger than 105 kWh, which would mean a longer range. As a reminder, the current generation is equipped with a 93.4 kWh battery.

Although Audi hasn’t announced when the new e-tron GT will premiere, it’s certain that we won’t have to wait long.
