Because of my love for the RS6, I've historically never been a big fan of the RS4. But this one, I think could grow on me!

Have you seen the news about a new variant of the C7 RS? Sounds exciting...

Looks more S4 than RS4 to me.

They look like plastic arch extensions, new B9 Allroad?

Its a B9 RS4 test mule wrapped in a B8 Allroad. This allows for arch extensions to caver the wide track without giving away clues about the body design. This picture is of a powertrain test mule.

If it was a final design test mule it would be heavily camouflaged.

Can only get one image to display (will look properly later)...

Difficult to get any design clues off of that, front end and back end are well covered.

I like my B8 just now so will only really be looking at this post 2019...who knows what'll be around by then?

Looks to me like Audi have reverted back to the rolled arches rather than the boxed, which I like.
Other than that, its really what I expected,
A bit like the B8 but with the new A4 headlights and tail lights.
Will just have to see what engine is put in.
