德国的Sport Auto在纽博格林北环赛道上进行其所谓的超级测试。现在，奥迪RS4 Avant Competition Plus有机会与资深的“赛车手克里斯蒂安·格布哈特”一起在著名的赛道上行驶。

RS4 Avant Competition Plus 设法在 7 分 39.35 秒内完成赛道。为了正确看待这段时间，Sport Auto在2012年用7分40秒将梅赛德斯 - 奔驰SLS AMG绕着“环”行驶。那辆带有鸥翼门的高性能豪华旅行车比新的肌肉旅行车慢了几分之一。

奥迪在视频中看起来很平静和控制。这可能是由于全轮驱动系统提供了大量的牵引力和驾驶员的赛道知识。

奥迪于 2022 年4月为 RS4 Avant 推出了雷霆版 Competition和更多硬核Competition+升级版套件。雷霆版 Competition结合了 RS 运动排气系统 Plus 系统（RS Sports Exhaust System Plus system）、消声17. 64（8公斤）、用于更快换档的软件、驾驶模式之间更显著的差异以及每小时一百八十英里的最高限速器。该选件还在后视镜盖、前叶片、侧襟翼、门槛延伸件和后扩散器装饰上添加了带有哑光碳纤维的黑色外饰包。机舱配有RS运动座椅，混合了Dinamica人造绒面革和Pearl Nappa真皮内饰。

雷霆版 Competition升级包包含其他版本的所有内容以及更多东西。它增加了RS Sport Suspension Pro手动调节的阻尼器，在出厂设置中将行驶高度降低了0.39英寸，如果车主愿意，他们可以将汽车再降低0.39英寸。悬架还获得了更高的弹簧刚度和更硬的稳定器。固定的 1：13.1 转向比取代了原有的动态转向辅助系统。Quattro Sport T差速器强调向后部传递更多动力。重新调整的 ABS 软件和陶瓷制动盘将百公里制动距离缩短为 6.56 英尺（2 米）。

奥迪不在美国销售RS4 Avant，也不打算在美国销售。但是，雷霆版 Competition套餐适用于美国的 RS5 Coupe 和 RS5 Sportback，该选项的价格增加了 16，100 美元。

Germany's Sport Auto conducts what it brands as Supertests around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, the Audi RS4 Avant Competition Plus gets an opportunity to lap the famous track with veteran 'Ring racer Christian Gebhardt behind the wheel.

The RS4 Avant Competition Plus manages to lap the course in 7 minutes 39.35 seconds. To put this time in perspective, Sport Auto lapped a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG around the 'Ring in 7 minutes 40 seconds in 2012. That high-performance grand tourer with gullwing doors was a fraction slower than the new muscle wagon.

The Audi looks calm and controlled in the video. This is likely due to the all-wheel-drive system providing lots of traction and the driver's track knowledge. 

Audi debuted the Competition and more hardcore Competition Plus packages for the RS4 Avant in October 2022. The Competition combines the RS Sports Exhaust System Plus system, 17.64 (8 kilograms) less sound deadening, software for quicker gear shifts, a more significant difference between drive modes, and an increased top speed limiter of 180 miles per hour. The option also adds the black exterior trim pack with matte-finish carbon fiber on the mirror caps, front blade, side flaps, sill extensions, and rear diffuser trim. The cabin has RS sports seats with a mix of Dinamica faux suede and Pearl Nappa leather upholstery.

The Competition Plus package has everything from the other version and more. It adds RS Sport Suspension Pro manually adjustable dampers that reduce the ride height by 0.39 inches in the factory setup, and owners can drop the car by an additional 0.39 inches if they choose to. The suspension also gets higher spring rates and stiffer stabilizers. A fixed 1:13.1 steering ratio replaces the stock dynamic steering assist system. The Quattro Sport Differential emphasizes sending more power to the rear. Re-tuned ABS software and ceramic brake discs reduce the stopping distance by 6.56 feet (2 meters) from 62 miles per hour.

Audi doesn't sell the RS4 Avant in the United States and has no intention to sell it in the country. However, the Competition Package is available for the RS5 Coupe and RS5 Sportback in the US, and the option adds $16,100 to their price.
