3-4 years ago, £120K would have got you a brand new R8.
and a terraced house up north
I think the prices are getting ridiculous now tbh
Not really, but definitely a good used one
@@Mondballer_00 No, he's right. £120k would have gotten you a brand new R8 3-4 years ago.
120k pounds holy shit who's gonna buy that
Especially since it looks like my father's station wagon from the 70's. All its missing is the fake wood paneling on the doors...
collectors
Believe me, they will sell quick.
Rich peeps
@@harveysawyer9027they will sell quick but mostly by speculators, who will probably leap before researching them. Then they will lose bigly. Look at the bmw m4 csl when they were released and prices now! A friend had put up deposit on one before they were released and I pulled his ear and had strong words, go got his money back before collecting . He saved him self a packet. £135-140k for a limited edition car 2.5years ago, lucky to get £90k today. Go figure!
In another 25 years Jonny Smith from the Late Brake Show will be over the moon to be pulling one of these out of a barn
We should be so lucky if many cars, certainly ICE cars, survive until then.
Now an RS4 costs £120k? I remember when an RS6 was almost half of that, what has the car market come to.
Well, no. An RS4 costs like 75-80k if you don't buy the editions reserved for folks with more money than brains.
The only question these days is “can I afford the monthly payment”, nobody can afford to buy cars any more.
2 words, inflation and greed in the post covid world.
Just wanted to comment on how great your video editing has gotten Joe. Top notch! Not that it was that bad before but it's definitely getting better.
Just get a normal one with a stage 1, happy days
Just love the way the RS4 looks, and really doubt the design will age. The design cues and shape just work for me, especially after the facelift when the sharp angles on the headlights were reshaped to this unit. Dream car.
Great video Joe, great content, tend to agree with your summary of the RS 4 Avant Edition 25!
Great Honest Review Joe…. Thanks for the unbiased content!
For that money - I would definitely be looking at a M3CS or RS6 in a great spec!
I've owned quite a few high performance B9 Audi's (Two S cars and 2 RS5s). I currently have an RS5 competition in the garage and I absolutely love the car.
When they announced this car I read the press release in detail and figured out why it cost so much. The extra set of wheels and tires are $18k, the carbon buckets are $16k, the suspension is $8k, then the development and certification for the added power likely wasn't cheap either. There's more I didn't mention, but i think I understand why the car is so expensive from a component and development perspective BUT...
I would not spend the $$$ to buy this OR the new upcoming RS5 performance edition over the new G8x BMWs that now come with 530HP. $150k USD is a bit wild even for someone like me that absolutely loves Audis to death. For that money, i want a leather dash, 550HP, and a slightly redesigned front and rear bumper
Regardless, Im glad this car exist. It shows that Audi cares about their RS customers. For the longest time they never put a ton of effort into making special editions but now we have cars like the RS6 GT, R8 GT, and now the RS4 edition 25.
Thanks for the review Joe!
Exactly. As someone that owns multiple Audis, the execs are losing their minds.... They should've made the RS4 and RS5 release with at least 500hp in standard form, 525-550 in competition trim, and 575-600+ hp for the anniversary. Seems like they've completely given up.
Them Alloys clean🔥
I hear the RS 5 Avant is taking this car's place next generation. I'll be waiting and watching used RS6 prices here in the US.
Unfortunately, in the US, all we will probably be able to do is "watch" as those will probably be yet more, in an ever growing list of cars, "which won't be making it stateside". That said, the pricing on this is nuts.
Just when we thought the m3 touring was expensive 😂 Almost like audi challenged themselves to make an overpriced car
Same brother, makes the m3 touring look like the deal of the century 😂😂😂😂
it's for the collectors...you can still get the regular RS4 competition spec for way less.
@willneverstop if you pay 120k for that you're mentally unstable. Do you believe that car will grow. There's nothing different besides "edition25" 😂😂
imola yellow and them wheels work nicely together
For 120k, the design is mundane. It doesn't spark any emotions. And it's way underpowered. I'd still get the BMW M3 touring.
B4, Layer Cake icon. £120k, you are having a Turkish.😊
Lol that was morty's car , also it was a mk1 rs6 👍
Epic!! 💛💛
The second set of wheels and high end tires accounts for prob 10-15k of the price. That should be an option…
Honestly, I'll never go back to Audi after being with them for 14 years. I'm even not impressed with Mercedes since my wife has had one for the last few years.. BMW is honestly the best in almost every way to me. The quality, comfort, materials, options for the price, and the design. I just haven't been as impressed with a vehicle when it comes to BMW. My wife and I have had a couple, and now I have a new X5MC which I never will sell. It's amazing and your old video of the X5MC helped me decide when I ordered mine last year.
Imola has always been a rad colour mind. Loved it on the B5
Be interesting to see how much this and the RS6 GT depreciate alongside their opposing rivals like the M3 CS touring, M5 comp, etc. Would be a fantastic buy after they are all around 6/7 years old. These types of cars seem to be better looked after as the owners are generally older/mature and not like a lot of the M4/RS3 type of owners who mod those to the hilt.
Joe, I’ve been waiting for the 550e video for over 3 weeks 😂😂 love the new 5 series design tech and who doesn’t love a B58! Still don’t get the hype about electric cars unless it’s a company lease. If it were my own money the 550e / x5 50e is the only hybrid I’d consider
X5 50e is stunning!
If you're going to the pub to explain that you've spent 120k on an Audi RS425R something or other, estate in bright yellow, with matching watch, you don't actually have any real friends.
😂
Landed here after watching Raz's review 😁
I really like the RS4 Avant, but I’m NOT a fan of yellow cars! Good review, thanks. Probably look nice in ibis white with an Audi Black Package trim.
I’m an Audi fan but I too agree with you Joe. I will stick to the competition- it’s too much money
I can't believe how wonderful those wheels look. They wouldn't look out of place on an Alfa either! Great colour of course - but works better kn a GT4 than an RS4 imo
Bonkers, lovely seats. Who buys a 2 ton wagon for track days? As cool as it is, some mental price tag
I just don't see where the value is at that price, that's crazy.
INFLATION
it's for the collectors
It’s not a value car lol. Not a single performance car is.
@gullible119 but this isn't a bespoke performance car like a 911, it's a golf with a different badge.
I love Joe's reviews, even when his brutal honesty is not really what you want to hear.
I know Audi and BMW are on slightly different flight paths and I imagine the new RS5 avant will take the fight to the M3 Tourings (at least in the power stakes), but it would have been nice to see how Audi's current 4 fared against BMW's current 3 with a similar amount of power.
One thing I know for certain about this 25 Years Edition... I can't afford one. But for less than even one 15th of the cost, I can more than comfortably eclipse the 470hp, tune the gearbox and suspension of my ageing B8.5 S4 and perhaps give this 25 Years edition a run for it's money. And that's when I really start questioning the asking price.
Yes, it's obviously 11 years newer, yes, it's technologically more advanced, yes it's an RS, yes it's prettier, yes.. it's kinda special, but I have to agree it's a whole bunch of dollars for what is ultimately "simple exclusivity". And even putting all those points aside.. it's a performance model that doesn't match up to it's fiercest rival. So.. yes.. I'm disappointed, not falling out of love with it (will always love the RS4/5), but disappointed - the uglier car is ultimately the faster, dare I say "better" car at the moment.
People want an RS4 that can take the fight to BMW - c'mon AUDI... give us one... PLEASE!!
Very nice, but I have a UK-spec June ‘20 (20-plate) RS4 Avant Vorsprung in Daytona Grey from new. It’s more than enough and after haggling, she cost me less than half the list price of this limited edition collector’s piece.
Nice colour
Does it come with 10 years parts and labour warranty? If so, then... Possibly
that cabin is perfect, definitely not showing any age
Performance wise there shouldn't be any ticking of option box's it should come full on & ready to show off
The A4/5 B10 is to be released any day. Perhaps the RS4 version will be later.
Bargain of the year..... But thanks for review as always Joe!
collectors will buy it
The price could just as well stay but I recon that it would be a great gamechanger if Audi fitted the RS4 with a naturally-aspirated V8 engine. That would kick as**
Regular RS4 with 19" wheels and non-tacky options is still such a pretty car.
I remember when you could buy 3 houses for that much cash
However I do like the wheels
❤❤❤
Price? No wonder I'm not seeing many 24 plate high-end/premium registrations. Even in London they seem scarcer than expected. I suspect manufacturers such as Audi are now content selling fewer cars, but with higher profits.
Supercar money.
Crazy money
wish they were doing all the b5 colours
Great looking and undoubtedly performing car, but that price 😵😵😵
They will of course still sell, but taking the p1ss charging extra for the watch!!
I have a b7 rs4. For the money this car is advertised for you could buy a nice b5 £25k a nice b7 £25k a nice b8 £25k a nice b9 £45k. So you could have the entire selection of rs4’s for the same cost. Sorry but £120k for an a4 is insane. I used to work for audi and remember a loaded rs5 that seemed pricey at the time at £76k. But car prices have got silly.
Watching this in between of trawling the classifieds for a €3k 90s Honda CR-V..
Are car manufacturers genuinely seeing sales going through at similar levels to previous years on these prices, surely there is a point where they will just fall off a cliff because only the very few can afford them.
I bought a 2019 RS4 Carbon Edition from an Audi dealer in Germany with 40tkms for 60k Euro. Best deal is to buy these machines (M3 alike) 2nd hand….
That’s like 250k onroads in Sydney minimum before any dealer markups
When le mans video
Another RS Car that Audi think adding a bit of carbon and some seats then calling it 'limited edition' justifies 50% over price of a normal one. The car is stunning but that's 911 turbo money.
While the exorbitant price more or so comes from the exclusivity of the vehicle I think it’s time Audi axes the b9 gen. B10 is around the corner but it’s still going to be a few years till we see a b10 RS car unfortunately.
No time to watch right now just about to be taken up a certain hill in France with PHT and yes that was me on the M40 on Wednesday going down for the eurotunnel
Great review Joe….but the price is nuts. On AT new ones for £65-£70K..so £50K gets you some trim, set of tyres and 20 extra horses. Bargain…..
It's a laugh.
I really don’t see how this makes any financial sense unless you intend to put it into a collection and see what it is worth in another 25 years.
Back in the real world, there are plenty of tuning companies out there who will be able to achieve the same or better results at a fraction of the cost.
Audi are producing some interesting cars again but their pricing is ridiculous.
I agree - no doubt they’re charging a premium for this special edition so charging extra for the watch…. Thanks Audi, but I’ll put the money towards a track day!
That’s crazy money it’s not worth it over inflated prices
we will not be getting this in the states!
The old one looks hard still
Trust me daddy
The price is nuts but I struggle to understand a statement like who would track day their RS4 when you wouldn’t level that same comment towards someone with an M3 or M4.
This is Audi’s M4CS, nothing more nothing less. Where this Audi is lacking is giving it the firepower to go with its incredible chassis.
Everyone is complaining about the price?! This isn’t a mass produced car it’s a special edition and very limited. They quietly released the RS5 Performance with the same upgrades which I’m sure is much cheaper.
Unless you have a matching colour 1st model rs4 avant and want to top and tail your audi rs collection i dont see the value😢
Needed to go all in and put the RS6 Engine in it
It’s nice but £116k nice!😳
Imagine the amount of used excellent performance cars you could get for that money 😂 If it's that money in UK can only imagine what it'll be priced here in Ireland. 😮
As someone that owns multiple Audis, the execs are losing their minds.... They should've made the RS4 and RS5 release with at least 500hp in standard form, 525-550 in competition trim, and 575-600+ hp for the anniversary. Seems like they've completely given up.
Unless you're a total Audi fanatic who collects the rare editions, save your money and get the RS4 Comp instead. The extra track wheels is hilarious. Most of us don't buy a wagon to take on the track. If you can afford this, you can afford to have a Porsche as your track car, not this. We don't even get the RS4 Avant in the US so I'm jealous. Although the M3 Touring will destroy the RS4 in performance, Audi makes the best looking wagons(estates) around, hands down.
I'd get the M3 Touring, throw 25k of upgrades on it and call it the "Edition 25K" instead.
Honestly though, Audi should have done 25 units globally and made a monster car
they need to update this v6 and they need to update the interior
It’s sad that people keep pinning this car up against the M3 Touring again and again because it’s a fast estate car. The BMW has the benefit of several years of technological advancements and have spent years and a fortune catching up to make a comparable car to the RS4. Had it not been “better,” serious questions would have been required. The RS4 is a fabulous car. It’s not as fast or advanced as an M3 Touring and it might be showing its age in comparison, but it a lot better looking if nothing else. Unless you are a BMW fanboy of course.
I agree would be good to have an unbiased review on the rs4. I would say it’s equally as good as the m3 touring. Watch the remove before race review he’s totally unbiased.
120k ?????😂😂😂 joke. That's rs6 money 😂😂😂
That’s a joke aswell
Give or take an additional 10k is type 4s r8 money (not 2024 brand new) but older models brand new. 🤯🤯
No Nogaro Blue 😢
You’d have to be INSANE to spend £120k on that
No doubt the performance is awesome but looks a bit like an Octavia VRS from a distance, 470bhp is quite modest for a £120k car
Imagine paying 120k for a fast Audi estate Hahaha. Thats R8...maybe even used Ferrari 458 territory. Madness.
I’ll take the b5 rs4 instead
Does it have the same engine as previous rs4? If so will it have the same rocker arm issues? If so, big joke
Issues probably been sorted by now know? Since the engines been upgraded.
On upshifts, this sounds better than the M3
That platform is a decade old now…
It still works :) next it’s electric…
Must be sold out already to Audi collectors.
I have no idea who else would buy it. It has zero justification for it's creation. The Stupidly Rich only.
yes, this looks much better than M3 touring, and its a 6 years old design...
Hard to put a value on something which is possibly a speculative purchase for many folk. Is it worth 2 RS3s ..? ..possibly… Is it worth 5 Hyundai i20Ns…? Clearly not.
120k and no pan roof
The rims actually look comically large.
Porsche accountants now organising Audi prices.
ill take the B5 Rs4 all day long
I'm a huge Audi RS4 fan, but it's definitely not worth the £120,000 price tag! 💸💰 #Audi #RS4 #DreamCar
lol my rs3 is faster
That colour is lovely (yellow) and the black wheels a nice .
But why wouldn’t you by the rs6 for a big fast wagon
I'm in agreement with you Joe 👍🫂
Great car , not sure about the colour.
And the price is getting silly .
B5 looks better than the new car IMHO
£115K OTR ! LOL, should be a bargain in a years time.
Thats custard yellow, no need for that fancy name
These are collector cars for sure. They're probably already sold.
Nice video but extortionate price tag
If the carbon ceramic brakes, spare set of wheels/tyres and carbon seats are forced upon you then its easy to see how it's priced so high. Take those away and its slightly more reasonable ? 😂
Car manufacturers are robbing people with these prices £120k for this is madness.
