What? no new RS4

Post by JJRS4 » Wed Oct 08, 2003 11:57 am

Latest Autocar talks about a new RS6 (V10), S3 and RS3(!! - can't imagine why) but no mention of a new RS4.

Are we doomed to stay with what we have or buy a Yaris.

Don't panic. It's probably just because there's so many rumours going on about the RS4 that nothing can really be finally confirmed. I still think the RS6 engine'll be sat in the front of the new RS4, and the RS6 V10 will be the daddy. I know you guys want a 3.2 litre V6 with twins, but I have to say, the V8 would go down VERY well with me!

But the RS6 engine won't fit. It would have to be the S4 engine with turbos etc.

Don't rule out another V6 biturbo. I have no doubt that Audi are considering all options from V8 biturbo thru V8 NA and V6 biturbo to No RS4.

Yo guys,remember that the w12 takes up the same amount of space as the 4.2 v8 in the s4 so there's another possibility. [img]images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/rs4-button.jpg[/img] [img]images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

3.2 V6 twin turbo - the ONLY choice.
