I am fully expecting a turbo V8 but to be honest I don't care about the engine (so long as it has more than 400 bhp) - but please, please, please a minimum 80 litre fuel tank - the S4 I drove a couple of weeks ago was more thirsty than than my RS, so bolt a couple of turbo's on and I would expect a tank range that couple easily fall below 200 miles

Well, the fuel tank doesn't have to be bigger, it's the consume that has to get less! [img]images/graemlins/24430-audibash.gif[/img] And the weight of course! [img]images/graemlins/24430-audibash.gif[/img]

I always hear it gets lighter! Where do you think Audi will reduce weight? [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Maybe Seats, okay, but what else? [img]images/graemlins/suicide.gif[/img]
What do you think a new RS4 would cost and what consume will it have? [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Questions over questions... [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]

What about the gearbox? it should be manual right?

Automatic is for the yanks [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] unless it's the DSG-box [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

There's a discussion going on on RS6.com, someone says he saw a part of Audi's developement tech spec of the new RS4.
It would be a V8 biturbo, with DSG gearbox [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
i don't know if this source is reliable of course [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

*still hoping for 3.2V6 Biturbo*

It would also seem that the picture of the car with the dodgy front air dam taped up was also caught on video here [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Still no definates though [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

I thought the DSG box was only for transversely mounted applications....
