Looks bland. Surely Audi can do better than that!! [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Possibly just an engine and drivetrain test. As it basically looks very much like an S4 they did not have to put in the effort of disguising it too much. But they needed the improved air intake they pasted on in front...
What do you guys think?

My thoughts entirely Phil, i thought all RSs are Avants with the exception of the RS6, this looks like a RS6 Saloon with a smaller engine [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Come on guys you gotta get it looking more aggressive! [img]images/graemlins/FIREdevil.gif[/img]

Just because they see an S4 with 9 spoke wheels and a different front air dam, does that make it a new RS4 test?
Sorry to be sceptical, but I wouldn't think it would be that bland. [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Well, first I have to say: Good that there are some news from a new RS4! [img]images/graemlins/rs4-button.jpg[/img] Of course Audi must change the front (don't know the back, yet) more agressifly! [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img] Oterwise the other cars won't let us overtake! [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

Do we know if Oliver from Quattro reads the thread? Maybe some kind soul could pass him the tip... some quite potent RS4 users here discussing their preferences.

The bottom line is the current slab-sided A4 shape will never make as good a looking car as the RS4 without some serious work on it. Avant only please. V6 please.
Standard RS4 (is it the only standard one left?)

Imagine if the new RS4 did look like that!

Well Oliver, or Audi for that matter, is/are welcome to come as see for themselves. Or we could discuss it over a track day/dinner. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
