Master of City Streets and Snow-Covered Highways

In my RS 4, the Audi Navigation Plus incorporated the Traffic Monitoring Control system. I was surprised to hear the navigation system warning me about traffic congestion near downtown Zurich. It directed me to an alternative, less crowded route. Downtown Zurich during rush hour was the perfect place to validate the handling of this 414 hp four-door sedan in stop-and-go traffic. The Audi engineers didn't want to build a raw muscle car that would only perform well in drag races, but instead, aimed at creating a confidence-inspiring automobile that can actually be driven on city streets but also provides total stability in corners and an insane straight-line speed. Thus, the RS4 has a muted exhaust note when it is operated in the "detuned" mode. At low speeds the car is whisper quit. Nonetheless, the stance of this car drew many onlookers in downtown Zurich who were not quite sure why this particular A4 looked so menacing.

While I was in Zurich I heard on the radio that a snow storm was expected later that night in the Black Forest area. This was the quattro weather that I was hoping to experience. Quickly I planned my route to go to Baden-Baden from Zurich via Freudenstadt. Since I wanted to have a winter driving experience, I made sure that my route would go through the meandering Black Forest roads. The roads all the way to Baden-Baden were covered with snow and sleet. The outside temperature fluctuated between -3 to +1.5 Celsius.
