Overview
2013 Audi RS 4 Avant appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a A Class (sharp performance) entry in the base roster. This page covers how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside the Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which roster entries it naturally compares against.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The B8 RS 4 Avant returned with a high-revving 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, generating 444 hp and a 8,250 rpm redline at a time when most rivals had already turbocharged. Quattro and a sport differential gave the wagon devastating cross-country pace, and it would later be celebrated as the last naturally aspirated RS estate Audi built. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2013 Audi entry sits in the A Class (sharp performance) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same A Class (sharp performance) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C, which is the A Class (sharp performance) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
The B8 RS 4 returns to a naturally aspirated 4.2 V8 in a wagon body — the last RS 4 to use natural aspiration. In A-class events the high-revving V8 takes a while to wake up; once above 5,000rpm it pulls hard and the rear-biased quattro setup allows mild lift-off rotation on damp surfaces.
Where it shines
A class is the sweet-spot bracket for many Horizon road events, especially mid-length point-to-points and Street race playlists.
Tuning starting point
A class rewards smarter aero and gearing. Test whether a top-speed gear or a corner-exit gear suits the events you actually run.
How to get 2013 Audi RS 4 Avant
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
