:D same here! B5 A4 1.8T with ABT ECU Chip, a little bit over 200hp, production year 1999, mileage of 230.000 km. Haven't experienced a more bulletproof car than this one. Technically and visually its still in great shape! Drives VERY well. Incredible car this is. Just image how awesome the rs4 might be! cheers mate :)
I've had a B5 A4 1.8T for 12 years now, and I can honestly say that if I had a chance to own one of these, I'd probably never buy another car again. It's a shame they stop selling the S4 Avant in the U.S.
I have loved the look of that car since it came out. I'd have mine de-badged, in black or dark blue, with a few tweaks to 450bhp. Porsche 911 be afraid!!! Great Q car.
decent car even for me, who just plays on the track on the weekends.. road course that is. my wrx is mostly for gravel.even though it is no miata, you can still go quickly easily in one. which is the main draw im sure. my wrx in a autocross understeers, but it is still surprisngly quick in the turns. im sure the audi is too.
Not only in 1995, but to the late 1990's, but this review has to be 1999 or 2000 when the car came out. And yes this is orginal TOP GEAR. People born after 1995 please don't wrote shit down here.
In fact Tiff was faster in Top Gear than Jeremy Clarkson (1987-2001). And this was back when i watched those amazing reviews of Jaguar XJ220 and other cars that they were actually review. Jeremy Clarskon was year later from 1988-2002 in original form.
@HowdyYall537 what do you mean? It's the perfect car for everyone go shopping at IKEA on day and go to the track the next then go to work monday and go snowboarding next weekend all in the same car!!
The Audi rs4 and s4 based on the b5 are both top cars with their v6 biturbo engines with 5 valves by each cylinder, do a test drive and you will be very fast convinced by these fast transporter, the rs4 is only faster on highway with its plus of 110 hp and the later maxi. torque. I possess one, and still a wonderful car after eleven years, test it and you will loose every doubt, let the others tell their blablabla
OK Adam , splitting hairs slightly but without sitting through the vid again I will not argue with your observations. I do find a "sameness" about many of these testers who enjoy the r send of a car trying to overtake them in a corner. I have had that on a public road and did not enjoy it one iota ! One has to ask oneself , "what drive configuration does a rally car have" and most certainly a rally car drivers skill well and truly eclipses anything these testers have to offer. (My opinion)
"just buy an sti" sti's are like 40,000 now bro the statement that evo's and sti's are a cheaper solution is going out the window. rs4 will poop on your rex any day, anywhere, anytime
That's not what he said though, infact in the whole video he didn't say it wasn't fun. I think what you are refering to is when he said "You just feel like you want to have MORE fun, and you can't". No the same is it?
Gerson Gutierrez it is top gear. Tiff started on Top Gear and moved to fifth gear when they rebranded top gear. Channel five was launched in U.K. And they created fifth gear

watching this as my Imola Yellow S4 is in the shop FML
I always liked Audis, but this car made me love Audi!
Still in love with me RS4B5 ;-)
Even to this day, this remains my favorite car!
RS4 B5 fever!
tiff's the man behind the wheel
best estate car ever made
He has the most dramatic eyebrows in the business. 10/10
he is an amazing uk race driving legend
Shame Top Gear isn't like this any more. This is true journalism, none of the dramatised, scripted and set-up shit we have today...
That car is STILL a beast to this fucking DAY.
gran turismo 5. ps3. i have a audi rs4 wagon. tuned to be low and stiff. original diffs, tuned awd setup. wonderful car handles beautifully
This is real life though lmao
even in 2012 great looking car
Tiff really knows how to have fun, he should give free "fun" lessons!
When was this top gear aired? Were really all 400 sold?
It came out in 2000, when did production start/finish (month/year)
He's just a hell of a driver!
I've had a B5 A4 1.8T for 12 years now, and I can honestly say that if I had a chance to own one of these, I'd probably never buy another car again.

i have the car tuned to not understeer or oversteer at all. it just grips and turns.vrey chuckable.point and shoot type car. very fun
The most impressive thing is the price, if he said it was 46.000 pounds. The prices now really are insulting for a new car.
I have loved the look of that car since it came out. I'd have mine de-badged, in black or dark blue, with a few tweaks to 450bhp. Porsche 911 be afraid!!!
Great Q car.
You DO realize the staff of fifth gear were apart of top gear once upon a time, right?
This is great, but the B7 RS4 is the real beast though!
decent car even for me, who just plays on the track on the weekends.. road course that is. my wrx is mostly for gravel.even though it is no miata, you can still go quickly easily in one. which is the main draw im sure. my wrx in a autocross understeers, but it is still surprisngly quick in the turns. im sure the audi is too.
well then gongratulations you made an amazing deal, where I live b5 rs4's start from 25 000 euros (about 20 000 pounds)
Damn Tiff is a sick driver. I wonder if he's actually the Stig. (Although I've heard its Ben Collins.)
this is actually top gear Australia
@leonas seferis - Yes it is. He was a presenter in the mid-90s
Not only in 1995, but to the late 1990's, but this review has to be 1999 or 2000 when the car came out. And yes this is orginal TOP GEAR. People born after 1995 please don't wrote shit down here.
SuperSedans Yep, Certainly agree with that. People can’t believe Tiff did anything before 5th Gear.
In fact Tiff was faster in Top Gear than Jeremy Clarkson (1987-2001). And this was back when i watched those amazing reviews of Jaguar XJ220 and other cars that they were actually review. Jeremy Clarskon was year later from 1988-2002 in original form.
He still presents now
Venger25 But not Top Gear.
@HowdyYall537 what do you mean? It's the perfect car for everyone go shopping at IKEA on day and go to the track the next then go to work monday and go snowboarding next weekend all in the same car!!
yeah, runs fine? :)
i can only dream that this car becomes a bit easier to import into America... want one sooooo bad

WoW .... i'm really impressed
£47,000 for that beast back in the day, i bought my one the other day for £1,200 time flys eh?!
Pretty sad that there were no Rs4 sedan version on B5 platform. I really think I'm gonna cry cuz I'm not a big fan of avants :(
Shortly after filming this, this red Audi was either scrapped or written off. It hasn’t had tax since Dec 2001.
bob lazar Shame if that’s true
i love this car!!!!!!!!
Indeed, well didn't realise that cause I don't have top gear here other than the internet :P
Tiff the best
it's not really a sleeper. because of the changed bumpers. even a little diffirence will make people think twice.
@fentonjd and it is a station wagon!!! who will ever guess it's a monster!!!
i thought but then i realized that it was fifth gear LOL

awesome soundtrack oasis-fuckin´ in the bushes
What??? This guy used to be on Top Gear?! What the hell???
"just buy an sti" sti's are like 40,000 now bro the statement that evo's and sti's are a cheaper solution is going out the window. rs4 will poop on your rex any day, anywhere, anytime
1.53: Driving control by T. Needell. my god.
been in one today for a test drive after a repare and fuck this thing goes in 3 gear we were at 100km/h!
How do you handbrake a Quattro??
salah haji like any other car.
I have b7 quattro
Use the handbrake to uppset the car a little bit
ilir swe but isn't that messing with your shafts ?? I wouldn't risk it, lol do u have Instagram ?
No
Yes you'll mess up the drivetrain since it's a locked quattro system, no electronics nothing.
i want a old audi quattro sport
S means Speed, RS means Real Speed!
@kenthebass no its not. its top gear
its a v6 and with single tail te sound concentrated on da fucking tail and its awesome XDDD
yeah, why?
wow tsw was around ever since then
@fentonjd hmm its not really a sleaper, everyone in europe knows what an rs4 is lol
yeah this aint top gear allright, topgear had that clarkson dude!
That's not what he said though, infact in the whole video he didn't say it wasn't fun. I think what you are refering to is when he said "You just feel like you want to have MORE fun, and you can't". No the same is it?
I want one.
Really, I got one with a slipped timing chain for 3500 GBP.
@fibolek This is Top Gear
did he say aerodicks???
ten seconds in
my dream!!!
My rs4 has 470 Bhp and 670 nm of torque and spit flames and does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds
Bullshit. That means your 470hp rs4 is as fast as my stage3 s4 lmao.. Nice joke
+RAWstylerz well you obviously have to do alot more to your s4 to make it quicker than his rs4
Lol @ the "Stage" system. How many wizardspower is that?
no Jeremy no Top Gear
bi turbo, not twin turbo.
4 minutes 20 seconds my dude
@HowdyYall537 what car do you have ? drive your corolla and please think before posting stupid comments ! ;)

Hmmm get an S4 chip it for £360 330 bhp lol
that's not Top Gear, it is 5th gear
Gerson Gutierrez it is top gear. Tiff started on Top Gear and moved to fifth gear when they rebranded top gear. Channel five was launched in U.K. And they created fifth gear
Cam d so interesting, I didn't know that, thanks mate
No,,,top gear....long before fifth gear
pathetic car. would take the m3 or c55 any day. only points i can give it are for the looks
buy an s4. upgrade turbos, injectors, exhaust, and brakes. tada
Durrake ....not the same, even if you do to s4 whatever you said
this is not top gear
Fact: Top Gear had been around since 1979.
he worked for top gear years before fifth gear existed
Yes it is 🙄
what a pointless car
