While coupes and roadsters have long since been seen as cool kids on the block, station wagons have taken the more functional and practical route with ample storage space and sophisticated all-wheel-drive systems. Audi has and will continue to prove that statement wrong through its performance-focused Avant series. And while many of the coveted Audi RS Avants have been kept from the U.S. market, with the exception of the RS6 Avant in 2020, they remain dream cars amongst euro collectors and enthusiasts. Here to hand deliver a five-door dream to one discerning driver, the team at Blue Chip is proud to showcase this fully federalized 2001 Audi RS4 Avant as part of its extensive inventory of collector-grade cars for sale on duPont REGISTRY.
This 2001 Audi RS4 Avant, a rare sight on U.S. soil, sports a sleek Avus silver finish that catches the eye. Imported to the U.S. in 2003 and federalized for American roads, it’s not just its color that stands out. The car has been maintained meticulously, including full front Xpel paint protection film and a complete ceramic coating to ensure that it looks as fresh as the day it was painted in Germany. The RS4 Avant ditched the factory 18″ alloys for 19” BBS CH wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
Inside, the cabin features black leather upholstery adorned with carbon fiber trim that sets a sophisticated tone, sweetened by cream Alcantara inserts on the seats and doors. The driving experience is centered around an Audi Sport steering wheel and shifter, both wrapped in factory Alcantara. The original Bose stereo has been upgraded to an Alpine Bluetooth head unit, which connects to a custom audio system featuring an 8-channel amplifier, speakers, and an integrated subwoofer enclosure, providing an immersive listening experience.
Under the hood, the RS4 Avant packs a serious punch with its twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine, tuned by Cosworth, to deliver power smoothly to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Performance upgrades include RS6 turbochargers and intercoolers, Methanol Injection, and a custom ECU tune, boosting overall horsepower and torque. The exhaust note is refined by a Miltek system, and handling is sharpened with Bilstein coilovers. Braking has been improved thanks to upgraded MOVIT 6 Piston front calipers and 4 Piston rear calipers. Recent service at Blue Chip ensure that this Audi RS4 Avant is finely tuned and ready for the road. As part of the sale, the car will come with all DOT paperwork and service records on file. With only 37k miles on the odometer, this 2001 Audi RS4 Avant from Blue Chip is now available on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
