Audi RS4: S is for sieri-aas

Hmm, maybe only South Africans will understand that title...

When you press the "S" button on the steering wheel the sides of your seat squeeze inwards to grip you tighter, as if to say, "Hold on, Buster, things are gonna get all G-forcey."

At the same instant the throttle response quickens and the engine note turns from plain rock to a hardcore heavy metal blare as a pair of butterfly flaps open in the exhaust.

Ear candy never sounded cooler; nothing can match the hedonistic, spine-tingling holler of a V8 in full cry.

Audi's made a lot of fast and desirable cars in its time, but none has pushed my buttons quite like the new RS4. This is Audi letting its hair down.
