Audi RS4: Sedan project revisited

AudiWorld has a "revisited" report about their Audi RS4 project car and their also took some really cool pictures of it.

From the moment I took this story on, it was very clear that Nikolaos Seizis is a no-nonsense kind of guy. Initially, it started with a multi-page briefing which listed the many modifications he had performed on his 2000 B5 S4 (better known as the "RS4 Sedan Project") including his planned future modifications. He also had my trip to Prague, Czech Republic meticulously planned. I was asked if I preferred to shoot photos at a race track (which he would rent for the afternoon), airport, forest, or a local historical castle. He assured me that any type of backdrop and any kind of test drive could be arranged. It was obvious he took this car very seriously.

I, along with many, initially rolled my eyes at the idea of putting nearly $200,000 into an Audi S4 conversion project. After seeing and driving the result, I must admit my feelings have changed. Everything became clearer. Budget constraints simply were not a priority when undertaking this project which allowed Nick to weigh his options and order up the "best" parts he felt were available. This really is the ultimate one-off S4, which can excel on the track without sacrificing the luxury normally associated with Audi's S and RS cars.

The Audi and Quattro GmbH engineers who have been involved with this project love the car and admit it demonstrates how they would design the car given unlimited budget constraints. Audi's involvement with the project is a testament to the quality of the transformation. To this date, it is the only non-RS car officially recognized by Quattro GmbH to compete in the RS Driver's Challenge held at Germany's Hockenheim Ring.
