B7 (Typ 8E/8H, 2005–2008)
For the late 2005 model year, the A4 received its third redesign, named the B7 and has been drawn by Italian Walter Maria Da Silva. Major changes included a larger and sportier midrange engine, the 2.0 Turbo and 200 PS (197 hp/147 kW), while the V6 was enlarged to 3.2 L with power topping 255 PS (252 hp/188 kW), both of which featured FSI technology. The more powerful 1.9 TDI was replaced by a 16-valve 2.0 L engine with power increased to 140 PS (138 hp/103 kW), while the 3.0 TDI from the A6 was introduced as the new range topper, but slightly less powerful. Other changes included a new, controversial front grille based on that of the Audi Nuvolari prototype, a redesigned rear end, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, larger front and rear brakes, a new 6-speed Tiptronic transmission, suspension tweaks and minor interior modifications.

More impressive was the all-new RS4, which debuted in Europe in 2005. The RS4 was able to achieve a high power output of 420 PS (414 hp/309 kW) without need for supercharging, joining the small group of atmospheric engines with a specific output over 100 PS/litre. Unfortunately for Audi fans, the German brand did not remove the speed limiter, otherwise it was speculated the Audi RS4 could actually overtake the 300 km/h (186 mph) mark.
