Would that be the auto hold?

+1
almost certainly

The B10 will be an ev abomination so really the next RS4 Avant will be on the A5 platform RS5Avant the S5 Avant looks good first impresions The current car does have a bit of lag when you try and nip across the lights and stuff like that. I think an EV could really help with the lag. On the other h...

Enthusiasm may be dampened by the fact that the B10's are out. No RS4 yet but the S4 was announced this week (now called S5) with a 24hp mild hybrid engine. That is 24hp extra from the electric motor (small 48V battery). So the RS5 (new name for RS4) will be getting at least a 24hp boost because the...

I know Carplay is wired only on 2018 cars but Wireless carplay came to Audi at a later year.

I find the best use is for Google Maps, I think the navigation is better than the inbuilt Audi navigation but I do miss a touch screen.

The exhaust pipes moving inboard feels a bit weird.

The car in the photo has 2 exhausts on the left and one on the right so I don't think it's the finished deisgn.

So you could say the next gen RS4 is full EV and the RS5 is get...

So another 100hp?

From the 2.9 and then whatever the electric motor produces on top.

Mine didn't (in 2018). I think that manufacturing is so good these days that none do.

It's normal. Most modern cars have a "smart alternator" so will not output a constant 14.6V. It is to meet emision standards. Anything with stop/start will have a smart alternator and the B9 certainly does. The spike to 15V is the alternator being smart and using the overrun to charge the battery an...

Check out Vag Technic on Youtube. They are dealing with all sorts of RS wowes

Bear in mind the channel called "VAG Technic Car Abuse" https://www.youtube.com/@vagtechniccarabuse4837
The TLDR is that VAG Technic might not be a reliable source.
