RS4-News!

[sitas3]

righto chaps, so there won't be an RS3 so what is taking its place? so they are not working on the new RS4 currently due to the 'High Performance A3 variant' project?? pray tell - you know it makes sense!

No RS3 [img]images/graemlins/cry.gif[/img] all hype and rumor`s started by Audi UK.... FOOL`S.

Right maybe time to defect to a BMW for my next car [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]

Riz, if the next S3 has 300hp Turbo with 4WD, that won't be enough ?
So you'd go for a 2WD Atmo car with ESP always kicking in instead, you're not serious are you ?

Ahhhhh forgot the trusty old S branding..... if and thats a big if they build a S3 and no RS3 then maybe i`d consider it.....

and i was kidding about the BMW thing.... good engines and cars etc but no quattro.... [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

hey Riz, you struggle with insurance now with your current S3 - hate to think about the costs of insuring the new S3/variant.. with that sort of grunt.

mines bad enough now and I'm over 10 years older than you. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

What's all this nudge, nudge, wink, wink business eh ? [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]

C'mon spill the beans [img]images/graemlins/033102talk_1_prv.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/033102talk_1_prv.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

hear, hear!

Need to know if it's worth putting any money down for the RS4. Can't believe that the details could be so woolly with the car only a year away..unless it's just rumours built on other rumours for the RS4 [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

[Riz_RS4]

Yes but in 2 years time i will be 25 and have a better chance of being insured... im always planning ahead [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yes my S3 does cost a arm and a leg but at the moment ive got nothing better to spend my peanuts on.... [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

N/A RS4.... poo! no RS3..... [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

A new model S3 looks like the only option....... time to wait for official news confirmed by Quattro GmbH / Audi GmbH and not the UK office!

I was speaking to a senior VW salesman today, and he was telling me that a 3.6 Golf V is on the cards to replace the R32 mkIV. Anyone else heard of this development to the V6 lump ? Seems 3.6 is a long way from it's original 2.8 capacity, but he was pretty sure... I'd imagine if a Golf is getting it, then it would be finding its way in to an A3 derivative

3.6 Golf V is on the cards to replace the R32 mkIV.

A fact that might be interestig is that Audi used V8-Biturbos [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img] for theit conecept cars: Avantissimo and Pikes Peak.
The engine is a.4.2 V8!

They could use the engine fr a new RS4 (it has 430hp [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img] in the Avantissimo and 500 [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] in the Pikes Peak!)
