Better for sure, but another photochop. Parking sensors in black bit of front bumper quite prominent, but not in the rest of it.

Found out some info from my Audi guy today.
USA will see both Sedan and Avant. 500-800 units.
420 HP
460 nm torque. (what is that in ft/lbs for us US folk?)
0-60 in 4.4
0-200 km/h in 16 sec.
A newley designed 19" wheel for the RS4, kind of BMWesque, I was told.
Special mirrors
Special spoiler for Sedan
Newly, redisigned RS6 sport exhaust that " sounds MEAN as hell !! "

Fall/Winter of 2005 for US to see em.

So, can't wait for the official word in March.
I'm excited, that's for sure......

Somehow I don't think so, unless it only weighs 1200kg!!

thanks for the ft/lbs conversion.

so is it 1.35 nm : 1 ft/lb ?

If they use lightwieght materials and drop a few hundred lbs, would 4.4-4.6 not be possible ?
A manual S4, stock can pull it in 5.0 at 340.
I know that's not Audi's number, but both Motor Trend and C+D got it there in 5.0......

Either way, it'll be a great car...

Didn't some US mag get it down to 4.99? I'd love to believe it but I'm sceptical. I'd be more than happy to do that with my Stage 3 S4.

I think both majors in the US got it to 5.0.....
I haven't seen one that got it to 4.9....

oh well not long to go - I reckon this site is going to be buzzing when the car is shown.

I hope someone will be there with a digital camera and internet access so RS246 can get some early shots!
