New RS4 next year ...

[HKS786]

That's more than just a facelift. The whole front end has been redesigned with a TT-S style bumper and new grille!

It certainly looks more aggressive but I'm not sure yet if I like it. I like the S4 the way it is. Remember it "only" competes with the 335i M-sport so it doesn't have to look anything extreme. Actually a more understated look might be better. Anyway, will need to see official pics to make up my mind.

It seems this new grille design is making it's way across the range. I just hope they don't look too similar. I like the new A6 and I just hope the A4 facelift doesnt look too similar.

well they just change the frontgrill adn front bumper on the front end so its not that much changes.

The fenders, the lights, and the engine bonnet are the same.

what I do think is that the holes of the bumpers will actually be filled with some grill so it will look smarter....when that is finished. as is it sucks, but it won't stay as is.

Don't forget that's just a mule, so incomplete... And that's no S4 but RS4 (look at those rotors and calipers!)! New front treatments will include new full-LED headlights (outer shape stays the same!) and back will get new rear-lights graphics, similar to what's shown on recent A5/S5 FL spy shots...

I haven't seen the pic of the rotors, do you have one.

Anyhow back to the car itself, I don't agree that this is necessarily an RS4 mule instead of an S4, the nose treatment would be more in line with what is expected for the S4 and we have already seen the RS4 mule with it's increased wheel tracking on another estate which needed extentions on the rear arches to accommodate, on this example these are missing which leds me to think this mightn't be an RS4 after all.

As for the LED lights, as far as I am aware the new ones will look more aggressive in the style of the new A6/7, the same is true for the style of grille.

i expect an even 350 hp from the updated motor. but what i really hope to see is an update to the 211 hp 2.0T to maybe 230.
