2008 Audi RS4 B7 Avant | 4.2L V8 | 6-Speed Manual | Rare Spec
If you’re looking at this, you already know.
This is Audi’s last naturally aspirated V8, manual RS car — and arguably one of the greatest all-round driver’s wagons ever made.
8200rpm redline. Quattro AWD with rear bias. Hydraulic steering. No filters, no fluff — just one of the last truly analogue performance cars in a practical Avant body.

THE CAR
2008 Audi RS4 B7 Avant
4.2L FSI V8
6-speed manual
Quattro AWD (40/60 rear bias)
Finished in Light Silver Metallic (LY7W) — a rare and understated colour — over black ‘soul’ Nappa leather with heated Recaro wingback seats and carbon fibre trim.
Factory sunroof delete (no sagging liners, no leaks — lighter, rarer, and enthusiast-spec).
⸻
MODERN CLASSIC STATUS
Cars like this simply won’t exist again.
A high-revving naturally aspirated V8, paired to a manual gearbox, in a practical wagon — from an era before everything became turbocharged, automated and digital.
The B7 RS4 is now firmly in modern classic territory, and the market is starting to reflect it. Values of earlier RS models — particularly the B5 RS4 — have already climbed significantly, and the B7 is widely seen as the next to follow as clean, well-maintained examples become harder to find.
This isn’t just a great car to drive — it’s one you can own and enjoy knowing it represents a high point in Audi’s history.
⸻
KILOMETRES / OWNERSHIP
~280,000 km
Yes — higher than some — but this is exactly why this car makes sense.
These engines are known to go the distance when maintained properly, and this example reflects that. The kms are predominantly highway, and importantly it means the big-ticket items have already been addressed.
You’re not buying a low km unknown with looming costs — you’re buying a sorted, proven car that’s been properly maintained and driven as intended.
In many ways, this is the sweet spot: all the right work done, without the premium attached to garage queens that still need it.
⸻
MAINTENANCE & HISTORY
* Audi serviced until 2018
* Maintained by previous owner (Audi master technician) to 2022
* Serviced by Easons Ballarat since May 2023
Key work completed:
* DRC suspension replaced (all 4 shocks with genuine parts)
* Carbon clean to be completed before sale
* Deflapped intake
* New intake manifold & throttle body gaskets
* Braided oil hoses fitted
* R8 coil packs upgrade
* CV boot replaced (~10,000km ago)
⸻
MODS (TASTEFUL & REVERSIBLE)
* APR Stage 1 tune
* K&N air filter
* Genuine Audi RNS510 head unit upgrade (original included)
* Genuine RS4 Alcantara flat-bottom steering wheel
Otherwise largely stock — exactly how you want it.
⸻
CONDITION
* Interior is excellent — seats, trim and wheel present very well
* Paint is strong for age — a few expected stone chips on the front
* Always garaged
* Rarely driven (WFH) — mostly highway kms
* Always run on 98 octane fuel
⸻
THE EXPERIENCE
This is what Audi was at its peak — a proper halo car.
Same engine DNA as the R8, but in one of the most usable performance wagons ever made. Subtle when you want it to be — and completely alive past 6,000rpm.
Cars like this aren’t being made anymore — and that’s exactly why they’re starting to matter more.
