Isn't that what the Le Mans was going to do? Maybe it's just the official name ?
B8 A4 Avant quattro
Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird
Suzuki GSXR1000 (Track bike)
B6 S4 (AMD Stage 3) - GONE
8N TT (APR/AMD/MTM) - GONE

Looks like they can't call it Le Mans for legal reasons....It will have the 4.2 V8 out of the RS4 and be even more rear biased on the 4WD system (30/70). There is going to be another version with the V10 twin turbo from the new RS6 at around £70K
