Ermmm well as good as the B5 RS was it was far from perfect.. just look at how many have modified their cars.......

It was a very good first effort by Quattro GmbH which wasnt really beaten by the RS6.

We`ll just have to wait and see.

It would be difficult to name any type car/bike/whatever that hasn't been modified.

Ermmm very true, should have been more clear..... but lets take the M3 for example.... ok it may be a bling but its pretty much sorted when it leaves the factory?

Or am i missing the point?

Riz - Your missing the point - when talking about getting it right I was talking about the LOOKS of the car!

PS the M3 gets modded quite a bit too - look at the CSL - supposedly pants brakes...and if it had a turbo, how many of them would be chipped? Lots and lots of them I bet..

Yep, even M3 CSL's have to get a brake upgrade.

In any case, people mod their cars to be different. I can't think of any other reason to have a personal plate. So why not chips, brakes, suspension etc.

The RS4 is everything one could ever want from a road car. Speed, handling, space, grip, looks etc/ etc. But if you want more than a road car, then mods are necessary.

Anyone cares to comment Conti's link?
That looks more like the real thing, although I'm not sure I like it.

Conti: you're first up again. Thanks!

These have been discussed on a few forums for the last week. It's another test mule but the wraps do seem to be coming off more and more.

RS4 @ Nürburgring

Post by feelou » Mon Nov 22, 2004 2:01 pm

That's very interesting now. Most of the links to the pictures we discussed earlier are down. :sekret: :sekret:

Anyway, here are a few pictures. Looks like a hoax to me: Audi could hardly find a more in-your-face colour for a highly confidential project, the drivers don't seem bothered by the photograph, and the whole nose seems... fake.

I'd bet on a home-made RS4 or a bad joke by Audi.
