With Audi doing a face lift in the RS7 & RS6, what are the chances the B8 might get one too? Any thoughts??

I'm guessing not as the B8 has already had one, but it does surprise me that they have done this to the 7 & 6, especially when they're at the top end of the RS market.

Like you said, its already had one.

An all new A4 is coming

B9

New A4 B9 out soon.

I'm thinking the RS4 & RS5 might have some subtle facelift or bonus. With the discounts Audi are giving away.. also with the Nogaro Edition 50.

I'm sure the B9 RS4 if it does come out will definitely be quite special.. perhaps the Macan Turbo's 3.6 engine or 4.0 RS6 with close to 500bhp.. would most definitely be special

I suspect we'll be a few years without an RS-variant B9 A4. It'll be the repmobile diesel saloons first, then the Avants, quattros, petrols and "S" model.
Most likely a new RS5 will be the first indication of what the B9 RS4 will look like.

Having said that, Audi seem to have defenestrated most of their old rules concerning the RS models over the last few years, so who knows?

Refenestrated.

Wow. Had to google that one

We'll be seeing a new RS3 come 2015. TT-RS, 2016 ?

Quite likely diesel RS models as well.

Hopefully we won't be seeing a new RS4 until 2018 onwards...

An RS4+ would be nice.....


Like I say, I doubt it is likely. But I don't get their mentality when it come to facelifting the 6&7's. How have Audi announced the RS+ variants that have appeared? Was is discrete or just a standard announcement & first come first served?

Which RS+ variants are there?

Only one I can think of was the TTRS+. To go up against the re-vamped Boxster/Cayman S.

At this moment, RS4 is ahead in terms of BHP against the M3..?

I suppose they might do a revamp against the Merc C-AMG..

Would be better if they can get the emissions sorted.. pretty damn high taxes

An RS 4 B8 Plus would ONLY be trim to get rid of stock, like the RS 6 C6 Plus.

Maybe a 'Competition Edition'

Ceramics, Buckets, Custom Paint colours etc.

Btw, competition edition A6 TDI with 340PS!

We already have the MY15 changes, which are the <beep> looking coloured edge rotor wheels and a couple of other small program changes

If we get B9 core variants early 16, then we won't see a B9 RS4 until at least 2018. A hole I was hoping to fill with an AWD C63, but instead they're only bringing 2WD to uk

New B9s suppose to be out next year... they will be revealing some of the models in the Paris autoshow.

Re: to the rotors.. I do like the black ones.. but I find pricing a mystery.. £1500 with sports pack? What a rip off!

Anyone here not considered the new M3 saloon...?

I'm with Tee Bee, thought the B9 was coming in 2015, which would suggest the next RS will be 2017. I also like the matt black rotors, but the price is crazy.

There was a C5 RS6+ and a C6 RS6+ too.
