Audi RS4 (B8) Dons Exclusive Clothes


Like any good company, Audi knows how to create exclusivity and additional profits. Case and point, the automaker's "Audi Executive" customization program. Its newest creation is something we can (in theory) easily support-- a one-off RS4 Avant. Featuring Peridot metallic exterior paint, this RS4 is certainly hard to miss. While shades of green like British Racing Green or Army Olive Drab can do wonders for wagons, we're not so sold on this shade.

Did the owner ask for a mix between dog-grass-vomit and 1970s curtains? It appears so. To be fair, in the flesh this metallic shade might be far more attractive. And, its an RS4 Avant for God's sake, so any revulsion to the color only comes after a long period of ogling the Teutonic touring. 

The matte black wheels, mirror center caps, and standard-sexy interior are the highlights of this custom job. Of course, the RS4 still packs its venerable 450 bhp 4.2L V8 with its atmospheric redline and sonorous soundtrack. A 7-speed DSG remains the only transmission option, allowing the RS4 to reach sixty in just 4.7 seconds and max out at 174 mph. Not bad for a vomit comet.
