I always fancied a b5 when I had my c32
My friend had an imola yellow one with the high tech interior,Kim Collins looked after that, it was a quick motor
Noticed you said you had one boff, what did you think of it?

I fully intend to put another one back in the garage one day.

Definite q car, lots of weaknesses!! But quite special

Can't be long before you get the new one, maybe give it a run out to the next boxhill meet
I want to check that interior out!

Latest reports now speculating "no sooner than 2017" after a B9 S4 was spied heavily camouflaged...

A fully camouflaged prototype of the 2016 Audi S4 Avant has been spotted by an Instagram user.

Practical and powerful, the S4 Avant is getting ready to receive a new generation which is expected to bring an increase in size even though the model is bound to lose around 100 kg (220 lbs) thanks to the MLB Evo platform. The outgoing mode offers 490 liters of trunk space with the rear seats up and 1,430 liters once you fold them down so expect these numbers to grow a little bit as a result of the increased proportions.

Underneath the hood will likely reside an uprated version of the TFSI V6 3.0-liter from the outgoing model where it generates 333 PS (245 kW) and 400 Nm (324 lb-ft). We won’t be too surprised if Audi’s engineers will squeeze up to 360 PS (265 kW) from this engine and coupled to the weight loss it should greatly improve performances. As a reminder, the current S4 Avant sprints to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.1 seconds and tops out at an electronically-capped 155 mph (100 km/h).

In terms of design, the heavy amount of camouflage on the prototype doesn't show any of the body details, but previous spy photos of the sedan have shown Audi will play it safe and go for an evolutionary design which will be a bit sharper compared to today's styling.

Audi will show the regular A4 B9 this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show so expect the S4 / S4 Avant to come out probably in the second half of next year while the range-topping RS4 won't be out sooner than 2017.

Looks like an A4 Avant to me - fairly small wheels, exhaust only on one side, fairly 'SE' looking steering wheel, looks like a round-topped manual gear stick (cannot tell for sure from pic)

Certainly bodes well though for the B9 as a whole - looks like evolution not revolution which is a good thing (just like new A3, new R8 etc)

And it has to be faster than the new RS3 so I'd be expecting a 0-62 of around 3.9 to 4.1. I know it's about more than 0-62 but they know that's what a lot of people look at to gauge performance. Any slower and it would be disappointing for me.

I agree, they'll need to make it faster than the Rs3 to justify the extra £20k or so

But not faster than RS6. Doesn't leave much room.

By the time it comes out the current RS6 will probably be no longer available so no reason why it can't be faster than the outgoing model.
Otherwise the new RS3 wouldn't be allowed to be quicker than the B8.

Only 0-62 times though? The range is about 0-170 times. As long as the rs6 gets there first, it's the range topper.
