FULL RS6 conversion. Without the arches, brakes, drivetrain, engine, suspension, interior, sound etc.

It's an A6 with a cheap respray. And a gentle tiny little ding on the wing that wrote it off... Seems COMPLETELY legit to me.

What a fucktard.

Still sounds like an asthmatic hamster!!

I'm not enjoying rolling around in a B9 diesel avant right now either.

It really doesn't sound of much does it.

Am I imagining it or does the rear indicator have a sweep to it at 1:54?

Anyone heard any good rumours on the B9 RS4 recently ?
My car's coming up to the time where I'd like to change it, but my dealer, who's normally quite clued up on RS cars, say's he's had nothing in terms of info yet, but would normally have expected something by now

Spoke to my dealer about it last month. He's the one who gave me all the info on the SQ7 before it was public knowledge so I trust him. He said that he's been told the RS4 is 'on hold' until further notice. The S4 has significant delays, but more importantly the TTRS is also delayed, and they always leave time between RS launches. He said that in his experience he thinks we'll probbaly be lucky to see the 4 for the start of next Summer.

I am the same situation as Graeme and scour the web for rumors 2 or 3 times a week, and there have been none for a while since the spy picks from the N ring.
I have noticed the S4 has been "TBC" on the web site for about 6 months which seems too long and does not bode well to me.

On another issue, I know someone in marketing at Audi and she tells me Audi have had a lot of complaints about the DSG gearboxes, especially in the US where they are more moany than we are and they are able to return their cars. The problem is they don't think the change is smooth enough. This might be why the RS4 is likely to go back to a slush box.

Nah, it's going back to slush as it's cheaper. The additional torque in the turbo engine meant parts bin required something new. Easier to lob in ZF8.
