Well, yes it's the new RS4 sedan with the N/A 4.2L V8 420 hp. I hope to see the RS4 Avant model soon. I like this new model, even if it's not turbocharged, but it would have been much more faithful to RS tradition if it had been biturbo. Maybe in the future...

I think that a NA engine is a shame to Audi.
Rumors of 15sec. 0-200km/h is not good enough for a car that can't be easy tuned. B5 RS4 with Stage I do better than this.

Not on icy roads, or on dirt.

No it isnt....

I'm pretty sure everywhere I've looked sais 0-60 for M3 is around 4.7, and for the S4 it's over 5. I know 0-60 isn't the end all indicator of performance, but still, it's faster. What are the S4 numbers then?

as for the S4 vs. M3 comparisons....on a track the S4 is the faster car.....acceleration wise, the M3 may be quicker. Both cars are VERY different, however i like the refinement S4 better than the raw aggression of an M3.

NO ITS NOT. Not according to rs6.com. there is a germanguy calling himself Nordschleife. I dont want to be mean but I think he knows better than you.

This is an Abt version of an A/S4. Look at the number plate, its from Kempten.
You can usually spot Abt, they have a taste problem, like most tuners.

Looks great...too bad the weight bias is so heavily towards the front...it'd be a really hot hot car if it was a little more evenly distributed F/R.

Idd it's an ABT, since the license plate starts with KE, or Kempten the homebase of ABT.

Rumours say that they have tested 7-speed tiptronic.
|
I heard this rumour also that they will fit it with a 7-speed automatic. But I also overheard the rumour that Audi/BorgWarner are developing a 7-speed DSG that can handle 700 Nm of torque.

I dont care about 0-100 numbers it doesnt mean shit really, yeah it says how fast it is in a straight line wich nobody here argue.......but on a track it is faster and thats what counts when comparing how fast two cars are.....
It doesnt matter if you are the first one to the turn in, when you cant get thru the turn......
|
you saying the M3 isnt a good handling car?
I'd take the M3 over the S4 anyday - more fun
i think we've been here before tho..... several times
