Audi RS4 Video Comparison Against Lexus Video
Germancarblog.com spotted a great video comparing the RS4 head to head with the Lexus IS-F. For those of you not willing to deal with the overly dramatic cinematics, I will summarize the shoot out. The race begins on the slalom. The IS-F was thought to have the advantage being lighter, and it was proven true being 2/10 faster. The next test was the 0-80 and 80-0 mph test. The Lexus won this round as well. The Audi did decelerate faster, however the IS-F acceleration made up for its slack. The final challenge is at the Horse Thief Mile track. The video goes on for minutes with the driver's description of both car's handling. The driver chose the Lexus IS-F for its fun factor. It simply was a more exciting drive. This puts the nail in the coffin for the Audi RS4. It simply is no match to the IS-F. I do give the car respect for holding the title for a long time.
Audi is not completely out of the picture. they have developed a new lineup with the S4, and the S5. Both are beautiful automobiles capable of achieving more where the RS4 left off. The RS4 simply was not considered fair competition due to its aged engineering, which is probably why, coupled with poor sales, the model was discontinued. Audi has also released their super car, the R8, which has proven to be a fierce competitor on the track, and also a pleasant site to see. Other videos circulating have put the RS4 ahead of the IS-F, but the consensus is that the RS4 has seen its days and newer models are simply outperforming. The C63 AMG, the M3, the IS-F, and the CTS-V are all sending Audi engineers back to the drawing board.
