I was chatting to a bloke on the tube today. His mates sisters friend is married to a guy who knows someone that works for Stoke Audi (I think he washes the used cars on the forecourt). Anyway, someone went there last week for a new wiper blade for his A80 (offside I think) and he said that he was chatting to someone who knows this guy who works in the R&D team in Skoda that was in Milton Keynes last week for VAG meeting. His sister, well she's married to a chap at Audi in Germany who was clearing up in the factory canteen the other. He overheard someone saying that the B9 is definitely going to go a bit faster than the B8 RS4.

So it must be true.

Did he say what tyres it would come on though?

90% positive they would be rubber ones.

It was clear you were making it up from the first sentence!

Psh. Talk to someone on the tube? You must be mad.

I quite frequently talk to people on the tube......

Issue is people rarely talk back.

I still think the rear wheel arches are just too flat for my taste (like the previous model).
I think it's safe to say that here as it's the RS4 section of the forum.

I don't think they're the finished arches. To me they don't look that different to the black S5 body shown later on in the photo's. But then I do need to get my eyes tested. Also, remember these are test cars, there's still time to get wider arches out in public.....

Not seen or heard a thing for months, and now something in this weeks Auto Express saying "after years as an estate, the Audi RS4 will return imminently as a saloon".
"Imminently" and they give usual figures 500bhp (Panamera 2.9 V6), 3.9 secs, £60k. Maybe they're just trying to fill the pages.

Well new S4 is superb boring to say the least. But to downsize from 4,2 to 2,9??? OMG. What a downgrade

RS5 shown at Geneva. It's 450HP, wouldn't this mean the RS4 will be 450 too?
The new RS5 looks like a stretched TT, I hate it... also, it's running a slushbox, the affects of dieselgate are starting to show. I'm off to buy a VXR8.
