Debuts in Geneva

The first pictures of the Audi RS4 Avant have been leaked, ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Looking tastefully restrained, the wagon has a new front fascia with a honeycomb grille and larger air intakes. Out back, there's a tailgate-mounted spoiler, a redesigned rear bumper and two massive exhaust tips. We can also see LED-infused headlights, high-performance brakes, matte aluminum accents and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin features sport seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, carbon fiber trim and alloy pedals.

Power will reportedly be provided by a 4.2-liter V8 engine with 450 PS (331 kW / 444 hp) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque. It will be connected to an S tronic transmission which is backed up by a quattro all-wheel drive system. This could enable the model to rocket from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, before hitting a top speed of up to 280 km/h (174 mph).

i must admit it looks better than i thought. i like the edges of the front spoiler and the square wheel-arches. they did good to wait until the facelift headlights with the rs-model..

Not sure about the front bumper, but the piece above the center consol and the instrument cluster looks cheap.

I think, it will hits 0-100km/h better than 4.7 seconds. B7 RS4 Avant factory claim was 4.9 seconds, and best time what carmag has get to result 0-100km/h, is 4.8 seconds. http://fastestlaps.com/cars/audi_rs4_avant.html .. http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2005/248570/audi_rs4_avant.html I really hope so, sedan will coming too to marketing.

Also, take a look at the 0 to 62 time from 650xi GC (4,5 sec) which also have 450 hp. It's faster (and havier?) And this is an RS model...

You mean 4.6 seconds. Its stupid to compare a coupe and Wagon between. So typical for BMW fan ;)

It looks pretty cool. I like the teeth on the front bumper, even if it is a little bit BMW. 444bhp? I'm definitely a fan of that. My first choice if I ever run the Dakar (I know, I'm exaggerating).

Although I'm a big fan of the looks, in my opinion the new All Road is THE wagon to get if you're going that route.

Looks great, like the squared arches, but the B7 RS4 wagon looked meaner. Also the longer rear overhang doesn't help, but still a nice bit of work. Hate the wheels though.

It doesn't look aggressive enough on the outside deserving of an RS model. Then the HP is not really anymore than the 'competitors' (C63 AMG). Therefore, it had better be a brilliant handling vehicle. I hope the exhaust note is not like the new M5 stereo created sound!

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this car very long! The perormance sounds really impressive but I'd wait till it's offcially confirmed by the producer. Just this front bumper :/ I can't get my eyes used to this. The ones in e.g. RS5 or RS3 looks more agressive than this one. -1 for bumper, +1 for all the rest.

The wagon kings give us a no-brainer. It ticks most of the right boxes but I think it makes the B7 RS4 sedan more desirable. Maybe if they do a limited edition sedan I'd be swayed from the B7.

I love it. It's a sports sedan, hatchback and SUV. All in one car.
