The all-new Audi RS4 Avant is not much of a secret anymore as the first official pictures along with some initial details leaked onto the web today.
As we reported in our scoop story on Monday, the 2013 Audi RS4 adopts the RS5's improved 4.2-liter V8 engine rated at 450PS (444bhp) and 430Nm (317.15 lb-ft), channeled to the road through a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system.
We also learn today that the new RS4 Avant allegedly completes the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 4.7 seconds, a tenth of a second slower than the lighter but also far less practical and roomy RS5 Coupe.
Audi's engineers also made changes to the suspension setup and fitted the RS4 with a more potent braking system and 19-inch wheels shod in low profile, high-performance tires.
On the outside, the RS4 Avant gets the usual styling treatment with blistered wheel arches, a bespoke design for the grille and bumpers, along with a rear diffuser. Similarly, the interior boasts new body-hugging sports seats trimmed in leather, a flat bottom steering wheel and RS-specific trim.
The new RS4 Avant will make its world debut at next month's Geneva Auto Show and go on sale in Europe later in the year. Don’t expect to see it any time soon in the States.

I would choose the B7 over the new one any day!!!
What are the fuel mileage figures?
Depends on how you drive.
Thanks, glad you told me.
Maybe if they tried making the cars look a little different they wouldn't have so much trouble stopping the photos of the next A4/3/whatever clone leak out.
I drive conservatively so let's hear 'em Hugh?
Was that ironic?
Factory 29 mpg , actual probably less because this is S4 figures.

Not paying attention, sorry about bad figures.....new post has your answer
I wonder why this anonymous commentor relies on Edmunds.com and the Steinlauf family for their information, a company whose independence and credibility seems questionable, I wonder what's in it for him? I wonder who he works for?
Since he doesn't have the guts to put a name and a face behind his words, I know how much weight they should be given… none.
