Plop !

Pardon my Teuton aber... "Scheise ! Was ist das ?!?"

The why is easy - it's a 100k plus car that happens to be sold for a massive price cut. http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/GTR_Servicing_parts_and_costs.pdf Reputable independent - figure +25% at least for Nissan high performance dealer. Hello Adsgreen, Thank you for your quick reply. Two immediate...

Greetings fellow RS246 keepers, It´s been a long time since I posted in your community -and FON PhilT :assflash: - I heard and read here and there that "the GTR is an expensive toy to run". Could owners here confirm and detail if/why that's true with specifics ? And also some granularity analysis -i...

Hehe...

Just figured out the FON thingie.
Looks like I can "demand" the recognition of being the early #25 joining RS246.com.

Seems also like I had to update my signature.

I guess I better look at the Nissan according to PhilT's signature.

/salute all !

Cheers PhilT ! It´s great to be back, just noticed I joined RS246.com two days before you "wink wink". I'm in the market for a new fun car, hesitating between an RS6 580 -to be tuned by a belgian guy with unresonated Milltek catbacks- a BMW M550d -you know my fondness for Diesel since I asked for an...

Greetings, I post as Taipan, a former owner of an RS4 2.7T customed tuned by MTM to 460cv. I used to be a member of RS246.com back in the 2003-2005 area and before that to RS4.org. Also joined a bunch of "Driving on the wrong side of the road and eating boiled beef and jelly" from that RS246.com to ...

Greetings,

I was looking at the new RS6 but this Nissan GTR deffo caught my attention, checking with dealers for the availability of Nismo version in France now.

An Audi R series with a TDI engine ? MUAHAHAHAHA !! *Starts the "I told you so for ages" dance* Sorry but that was a truly easy joke. That being said, this looks nice but a bit disappointing. Audi should really learn about respecting uber-cars ranking again. You can't claim the V8 RS4 420hp is an ub...

Grettings all ! As an old fart from rs4.org and early days from rs246.com (RS4 Imola B5 MTM 460hp custom map + full Milltek exhaust + 380mm MovIt brake set), I must say that this news brought a huge smile to my face. After the (in)famous run of RS246.com crew to Hockenheim Quattro Challenge 2004, an...

I think this is brilliant (no no, I won't sing the "I told you so... lai lai lai" part 8) ) and deffo an historic milestone in endurance racing. Perfect timing with the US new legislation forcing gas stations to offer low-sulfur diesel (ie. the one sold in Europe) as opposed to their high-sulfur ver...

And Porsche launching Diesel engines for the sake of post-2010 sales growth ?



Eric

Well, Audi's current trend into the S/RS line is Atmo (RS4 B7, S6 V10 "Gallardo") so any turbo junkie, imho, should be ready to face the fact that the next "turbo" S/RS will be a TDI indeed. Basic 98 gas is close to 1.5 Euro/litre in France but drivers should not discount the possibility that it wil...

People driving on the wrong side of the road laughed at me back in 2001 on rs4.org (peace...) when I said that Audi will run a Diesel car at Le Mans 24 Hours soon.

Want to bet (and lose) again ?

Make my day

Hello Justin, Great write up, very nice read. I own a RS4 B5 460hp MTM modified by their chief motorist (Peter Linke) on their 4WD bench, with a custom-made Milltek full cat exhaust, Movit full brakes and Quattro GmbH suspensions. I had the chance to test drive the RS4 B7 on the Le Mans track back i...
