Other than that, its really what I expected,
A bit like the B8 but with the new A4 headlights and tail lights.
Will just have to see what engine is put in.
Those arches are still very likely to be the allroad arches not the final RS4 arches. I doubt they'll move back to rolled style arches given the angular nature of the rest of the car - headlights, aggressive grille and bumper etc.

That picture shows a quite clear highlighted edge to the back of the front arch just behind the wheel, which would confirm that it is still the mule with the Allroad arches. A finished bubble arch would be smoothed in to the bodywork. So I guess no confirmation yet for either bubble or box arches for the production version.

Sounds (barely) like a turbo V6, the TT noise was far better though.

I hope it does, to me the box arches makes the b8, would look great on the next model, just looks more modern imo

I wish it would, but I suspect Mike is right. The C7 is back to round/curved arches so I strongly suspect the B9 will go the same way too.

You gotta love how the manufacturers do this eh?

Right let's get people in the know that it's coming by sending one around the most photographed track in the world with a check me out I'm the new RS4 (or car) wrap.

That is the new car, and that is the new shape. Exhausts aren't opened I don't think, but it can drive around the nurburgring.....

Sounded well boring, but hey now I'm part of the marketing machine!!!! Bugger!!!!!! damn.
Zero Drama
