Whenever magazines take true exotica to oval tracks (which admittedly scrub a bit of speed) there aren't many that top even 180mph... they all seem to get to 160mph quite quickly and then amazingly die between there and 180mph. I would guess 420bhp or around that would be good for 175-180 without a limiter but given the shape and drag I can't imagine it seeing more than this - but hey, we don't know the final specs yet so who knows!

If you look at recent postings on the RS6 section of the forum, you'll see an RS6 reaching 196 mph on the autobahn. The next RS4 will be much lighter than RS6 but with less bhp., but the overall power-to-weight ratio should tip in favour of the RS4. I've also heard tmuch alk of prototypes achieving a sub-8 minute lap tie around the Ring.
