Love the wheels, but where are the flares arches to go with them?!

Flared-ish, if you look carefully. Not exactly as brutish as the last RS4 is it?

I'd still have an C63 AMG estate.

And why on earth BMW didn't get in on the game with an M3 Touring is beyond me. I bet one exists somewhere, and I bet it's epic.

Is it just me or is that 4.2 V8 long overdue a replacment of the twin forced induction kind :stupid: :evilgrin:

I was just about to say exactly that! Particularly as the engine has been slated in the RS5.

Let's face it, this is going to be nowhere near as good as the last RS4.

Look at its main competitors, pretty much all the M powered BMW's are bi-turbos with massive power and the new M3 has been pretty much confirmed as been turbod aswell and all are suppost be more efficient than their last respective engines.

They should have put that 4.0 bi turbo V8 engine in from the Bentley Continental, basically a V8 block with 2x fsi heads and we all know the capabilities of the 2.0tsfi, imagine 2 side by side in an RS4 :drool: :evilgrin:

Or even the s4 3.0t block untill the next gen b9 Audi.

APR have got their s4 at stage 2+ at 500hp. That power level is more fitting for a rs4.

Looks the nuts but not exactly going to be the fastest thing going. Think I'd have a c63 AMG over this also.

Looks bland for an rs4 to me, then again the rs cars are bland these days, ocy vrs and a 135i? Yes please.

Post by: andrewparker on February 15, 2012, 10:43:11 am
There's been a few suggestions (based on the cost of an S4) that this car will cost over £60K. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Bland.com  :sad1:

Looks like a mini RS6 from the side and rear and why oh why have they stuck with the V8?!?!?! 450PS - So about 390bhp then if the old old RS4 and RS5 are anything to go by.. Rumours were that it was getting a twin blown V6 like Rob says..

Epic fail Audi, sorry..   :sick:
