I love the look of that, even meaner than an RS6 C7

Looks like it is trying too hard to me - bit like the latest Honda.

I like it - except the quad pipes, they should have kept the RS4 style, now it could be mistaken for a S4.

Wheels and exhaust look naff and very “Barry”. Other than that it’s ok.

It's not my 'thing' but it looks pretty good to me and I'm sure it would be a proper head turner, which I guess is the motivation for people who shell out on this stuff. I have no idea why anyone would think the exhausts risk confusing it with an S4, maybe David Blunkett would struggle but come on!

Now I've watched the video, I do like the look of of it inside and out. But the V6 does not light my fire. It may be fast but sounds sh1t compared to a V8 RS4.

Those pipes are massive.. if that thing gets confused with an s4...they must be blind, looks good apart from the wheels

Might look better once they paint it. I don't hate the wheels, probably the best seen bolted to a B9 thus far. The 'zoorst just makes everything look too busy, that was a poo idea.
Not sure why the V6T is hated on so much, it was at the heart of the Ur-RS4 and is still being used to extract some silly numbers. The NA V8s are slower than a week in jail... "but they sound better" is the warcry of the B7/B8 Bois. "So what, we can't hear your car while it's disappearing in our rear-view mirror" say the B9ers.

I think I'd still rather a TTSB7RS4, thanks.

Yes it is hard, the ABT and S4 are night and day from any angle, regardless of the number of pipes.

Not normally a fan of ABT kits but the latest RS4 and RS5 ABT kits are massive improvement over the standard car's looks. The wheels are not great but they are much better than any factory options.

And the weight of them makes the car understeer.
