B9 RS4 ?

[RossDagley]

Well that would scupper my plans for ordering a new 4 at the end of this year for march 17 delivery (which is what I'd always planned)

Might have to get a bloody 7... Need to test one on DRC really.

A German website is claiming to have obtained a scoop picture of the revised Audi MY (model year, not actual year/month of release) product road-map, and the B9 RS4 is nowhere in to be seen. That is unless it's further along than anybody thought and it's due to be released this year. From what I've been told the B9 schedule (including the S4 has been severely delayed), so perhaps a B9 RS4 been canned?!?

The S/RS4 is not on there because there are no A4 designations on that roadmap!
Even the Q6 e-Tron gets a sniff in, this 'roadmap' means nothing.

That roadmap was for the US releases.

yay

Maybe it's earlier, and this is presentation or public release dates.
Interesting to see there's going to be an SQ7. I've been surprised there's not been one before to be honest.

Urghhh. R8 V6

That roadmap was for the US releases.

With the RS3 Sedan/Saloon markets still unknown, this is a possibility, however, the B9 A4 is a US model, so if it were US only then I would have expected to see the A4 Avant and S4 etc on it?

Another model that's been severely delayed. I know of some dealers who've been invited to AG to drive it, but they have no idea when its arriving.

Reports dating back to last year showing the Nurburgring spy-shots say it's going to be using e-turbo technology on a V8 derv.

R8 Diesel next.

Maybe they are to the left of the photo March 2017 ish?

The R8 V6 will use the same engine as the B9 RS 4

Expect c.480PS

As much as I'm sure that'll be a great engine, R8 is all about noise, and I'm not sure that will cut it
We'll have to wait and see, but I'm still waiting on news on next RS4 first. Mine will be 2 years old in Sept, so I'm unsure whether to hang on until the next RS4 or get something else in the interim

Ross, there is no way in hell the next RS4 will be on sale and deliveries arriving to the UK public 12 months from now!

I can't imagine it's coming too soon, as there's been none of the normal disguised mules etc that we normally get inundated with in the year before release (other than the all road arched mule, but that's been circulating for ages)
I've been pestering the guy I know in Audi UK, and he said that he's not heard of anything coming this year, but again, he could be wrong or just not willing to say.
We could all be proven wrong though, but we'll have to wait and see.

Don't sh1t in my sandwich you lot!
