Pics from Audi Driver International

Post by Nickyboy » Sat Oct 13, 2012 6:23 pm

Great day. Thought I would add pics I took on the phone. Not the best.

First view of the B8 RS4 and I was very disappointed. However, before I left I parked my B8 S4 next to it and was suddenly seriously impressed. My S4 looked seriously dwarfed. I went from not really wanting one to really wanting one in the space of a few hours.

If anyone wants their car pic taken down please let me know. I have blanked the plates so I hope you don't mind.

Photos don't do the RS4 justice.

Thanks for posting Nick, good to meet you both. Good comparison on the S4/RS4. I'm still not convinced on the B8 RS4 though.

Your car looks great Nick, I really like the B8 S4 and the RS4. Can't believe the RS4 wasn't at the Audi dealership on the night though.
I will try and post some of the very few pics I took later as my head is still a little fuzzy. :beerchug: :biggrin2: :drink:

Thanks Nick.

I think the stand we had was in a good location. Gutted I did not manage to meet all on the stand, should have got there early really, but had to wait for the hangover to wear off..

My car doesn't look that dirty in that last photo. I turned up about1ish as I had things to do in the morning so never got to say hello to anyone. Maybe next time. Some nice looking cars on the stand, Amar's plus looks alot different in the flesh compared to the photo's. Only managed to stay around for a couple of hours as my boy was being a pain in the arse.

Did anyone else notice the odd shaped discs on the rear of the B8 RS4? I wonder what they are all about.

They are the new wave design to help get rid of heat and by lighter.

If that is the car that I have seen doing the rounds at the dealers then it had ceramic front brakes? Std brakes are also of this wave design

Good pics Nige, glad someone got a good pic of the Ugly Duckling.

I liked the new RS 4 alloys, I was a hater when I saw them in the release pics.
