HQ photos and video: The new B9 Audi RS4-R Avant by ABT Sportsline

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.

And the weight of them makes the car understeer.

I am not certain, as my car hasn't arrived yet, but I'm not expecting that aspect to change in the B9, (or in my case F5 as it's an RS5). I still expect the chassis balance to be understeer.

I read that the lighter engine has reduced the understeer. I've not actually driven one though.

I haven't noticed any understeer although I do drive like my Nan.

Did you notice any understeer in your old RS3 whilst driving like your nan?

[Terminator_X]

I didn't Mike. Imho the understeer issue that some journo's complained about was just them piling in to corners on a track way too quickly.

You will only notice any understeer when on the limit, and, ultimately I want understeer because oversteer gets you backwards into a ditch.
Understeer is easier to handle, which suits me
