power = torque + gearing (rotational speeds)

Power does not change with gearing as it is a product of torque and rpms, which are inversely proportional variables.

Acceleration interia and...

Top speed is about torque and aerodynamics. Quattro is only an issue with straight line acceleration. If the RS6 is going to be a torque monster, then its acceleration will probably benefit from...

Mass production has smaller profit margins, and it would kill the bugatti name. They need to ride the Veyron wave with cars of the same decadance.

That looks awesome ... too bad it looks familiar too.
I doubt KTM/Audi are going to build to photoshop of an Opel.

The original reports said it was going to be like a Super 7.

It does have the strip, and it is an S-line. The two pictures are of the same car, in the same location, in the same position. Only the angle of the photograph makes the strip disappear. But as I...

You're probably right. They're going by the wheelbase, but the B8 platform moves the front wheels forward.

The front seats seem low and moved back. The headrests are at full extension to reach a...

The caractere photo is a photoshop of an official Audi press photo, as is customairy practice with all body kit manufacturers. Professional photos are not cheap, so they photoshop their kit on press...

Yes, and there is a clear difference. The side intakes of the OEM Audis are rectangular, while the Caractere side intakes have a Lamborghini style shape with 5 sides.



*The S3 and the S-line...

The TT-S seen in German mags also features a Caractere-style bumper.

The red A3 I posted above is the S-line. Completely different kit from what we see in the spy pics.

If the rear bumper...

The front bumper looks like a modified Caractere A4 bodykit, and the sideskirts too look like an aftermarket bit. The sideskirts have two levels to them. Looks like a modified version of the...

I think Audi will continue to be the underdog for a long time to come. The BMW badge has a strong effect on some people.

I think the RS models compare better to the CSL. Performance comparison...

The first quote says it has a fixed intake manifold, instead of a variable one. It's a straight through intake. That means you only have one setup for the whole rpm range. It makes the intake faster,...

The technology is compatible with turbos. In fact, next to a 2.8l V6 330Nm/300hp V6, a 1.8l TFSI will be one of the 2 engines that Audi will feature at a technology event in octobre. source ...

It would indeed resemble a diesel engine, with the exception that it's not self combusting. The similar feature is controling the engine directly with the amount of fuel injected. So not being left...

Even the uncovered RS4 prototypes had RS6 wheels on them. Perhaps they want to keep as much of the features as possible a secret, even though they are running uncamouflaged models (you can't test...

Probably not. Unless you have economy of scale working for you, there's not much profit in cheap products. And in Porsche's case, economy of scale could kill the brand.

the specs say this:



Does this means you have to push or pull something to change the ratio, or is it a 1.5 way differential (different lock when accelerating or decelerating)?
