Providing they can keep the weight down thats all it should need.

Was rather hoping it to be a N/A as that would make our cars the last in the line of the turbos and probably worth more in the long run, oh well.

[TimJMS]

40hp gain then. Whoop - dee - doo.

BMW must have just announced that their new M4 will have 419hp then [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

You can also have the restrictor removed if you have got a racing licence [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]

pressume this is v8 4.2,sounds like audi have been de-tuning.
and thats 80bhp on the s4,last rs had 115bhp over s4.and rs2 95 bhp on s2.
oh well more to play with. [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

[rs4imola]

V8 engine is good, but the V6 would be better and lighter! [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
absolutely correct Bi-turbo this! [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
but only 420hp [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]
[img]images/graemlins/grrr.gif[/img]

[Thorney]

I thought the V8 was actually lighter than the V6?

420bhp is OK, but most modded RS4's are running 460bhp (or more) already in a chassis which I am sure will be lighter than the new one.

Its gonna need to look damn good to get my money.

[Conti]

We are sure we'll buy one! [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
We want to go to a 500+ tuning. [img]images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
What about the date? When will it arrive?

Cheers [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

I heard that the V8 and V6 are extremely similar in terms of weight. And IMHO 420 bhp as standard isn't a bad starting point. Yes, you get 460 bhp on a modded current RS4 but that's from a standard 380. Anyway, IF the rumours are proved to be true, then I suspect we'll all be more interested in the torque available, which will have to be pretty special to compensate for the additional weight of the newer chassis.

Whatever the outcome, it's always fun to chew the fat. [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

[rs4imola]

The V6 engine would be the ideal is V6 3,0 of aluminum BI TURBO! [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Because the new RS4 more will be weighed than the current one, for the proper chassis of current the A4 line that more is weighed than the previous one!
Contrary case the performance evolution will be small in relation the ORIGINAL current RS4! in function of WEIGHT x POWER [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
and the Tradition of line RS!
RS2 315hp [img]images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] RS4 380hp [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] RS6 450 [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] new RS4 480 or 500hp [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

420BHP

That all? [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Mmm my thoughts too. Got to be an easy upgrade to get nearer to 500 bhp though [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

Will need to look damn hot and also be priced right against the e60 M5 V10 and the next M3/4 with 4.0V8 [img]images/graemlins/FIREdevil.gif[/img]
