Luxury automaker Audi has just introduced its beautiful new RS4 Avant to rival similar high-end vehicles like the Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon.

Audi debuted its first RS car back in the 1990s, but the newest design is completely modernized with plenty of power under the hood to show for it. Unveiled in Frankfurt, Germany, the impressive new RS honors its past with a bright blue hue similar to the first RS car.

The RS4 Avant boasts a 2.9 TFSI V6 biturbo engine that makes 450 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. All that power translates in a zero-to-62 mph leap of just 4.1 seconds with a limited top speed of 155 mph.

Drivers looking to harness the vehicle’s unlimited power can opt for the RS Dynamic package which boosts the top speed to 174 mph. Part of what makes all this speed possible is the ultra-light build: this RS is 176 pounds lighter than the outgoing model.

The new Audi is available for $95,000, and comes equipped with a number of other advanced features, including an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and stock Quattro all-wheel-drive.
