The new model comes with RS Sports Suspension Pro, which is a manually adjustable coilover suspension setup which gives a 10mm lower ride height. In addition, customers will be able to lower the ride height by another 10mm to allow for an overall 20mm lower overall stance.

Carbon ceramic brakes come as standard to help improve stopping power through increase in performance as well.

Three exterior paint colours finishes are on offer including an Audi exclusive colour called Imola Yellow. Other colours available are Nardo grey and Mythos black metallic.

Further design cues on the exterior of the 25 Years edition include gloss black window trims, black inlays in the rear taillights and the deletion of the roof rails.

There is also an RS4 edition 25 years lettering engraved in the windows between the C and D pillars as well as the carbon appearance package which features a front spoiler lip, front air intake inserts, side skirts, rear diffuser insert and matt carbon door mirror caps.
