I've just read the news from autoexpress that the new RS4 will be launched a year after the new A4 and S4 sedans and will develop at least 450HP and could have more than the C63 AMG and muchhhh more than the new M3 who has been kicked off again in another test by RS4:)Sweet...

Well Autoexpress is a UK magazine and over here the A/S4 won't be launched here until Spring'08 so don't expect the RS4 this side of 2009 but I reckon we will see the RS5 first and I doubt it will be here before End'08~Start'09 at the earliest.

for answering some questions...first i am from europe and here is a year of market presence until US launch of any car on this planet (european cars usually) and then the new RS4 will be B8 RS4 with more than 450HP...so that's it!Great news...2008 is the year of RS5 in spring and in the autuumn will be launched the new B8 RS4...but until then let's wait with patient the new C6 RS6...hmmm...nice:)

a 30hp bumb isnt much, i will see 480hp or 470hp. the bump from the b5 rs4 to the b7 rs4 was 40hp. and now 10hps lower. that sucks, i hope they get the weight down!!!

at least 450HP or more will have and should i say the magic word to you?:bi-turbo...hmmmm...TORQUE...hmmm...sounds nice now? and should i say that new RS4 will beat the crap cars with more than 500HP because of the newy shassy and the weight distribution and maybe the new torque vectoring system...now sounds nice?i thought so...:)

yeah thats good, but the only thing i hate a little bit on audi is, with same hp or more than bmw, audi is always slower on higher speeds 140kmh + or something. bmw is ever faster on higher speeds than audi. i think cause the rwd and lower wait. the quattro eats to much power. also fwd isnt to good. audi should be rwd too. i hope audi can change it in future an can make compitable cars to bmw in higher speed acceleration. what do you think?

Unless you live in Germany it doesn't matter.

Exactly! How fast will you drive normally, especially on regular roads? And, RWD isn't Audi - Audi will stick to quattro, which is important when you need to put such a hugh power down.

sorry, but there will be no RS5 next spring ;) 100%
the B8 RS4 will probably be launched in 2009
and the C6 RS6 will be launched this year the Avant version and the sedan version next year in spring or summer ...

Dear Friends,

the very next RS Model will be the RS6 Sedan, going in production in the last week this year. In early 2008 the RS6 Avant will follow. As for now, no other RS car in 2008. The Q7 V12 TDI is coming up in the 3rd quarter 2008.

WRONG.

I bet with you on a RS6 (a real one) that the next RS model will be the RS6 Avant. The Sedan will be launched in 2008 ;)

I think you will find that Qisha is very seldom wrong on matters concerning RS Audis. :D

And just to re-enforce Qisha's statement here's one from Erik

after releasing the new RS6 in this autuumn will be released the new RS5 in 2008 and at the end of the 2008 in europe not in US, i don't care that's a year off from the US market, i am refering to the presentation of the new RS4 will be in end of the 2008 as i said! And mate where the hack in the world BMW is killing Audi in high speeds?where?RS4 eat in 5 reviews the new M3 and also S5 beat the crap 335i in every drag acceleration at any speeds!Where do you came with those ideas?

I don't remember.
But tell me one thing ... why the first spy shots of the RS6 were with an Avant ? Next month at the IAA in Frankfut, we will see wich version of the new RS6 will come first :jlol: and this time this will be official and not only rumours ;)

Sorry for you but there will be no RS5 next year. It's not even confirmed by Audi that a RS5 will ever exist ...

Actually the first spy shoots of the RS6 were in fact of a Saloon. The car was if memory serves be right it was Red and the comment in Autocar was the new RS6, this was roughly Oct/Nov '05, then there was a Blue one seen in the middle of '06 and again near the end of '06, it's comment was with regards to magneticride suspension and being a high-powered N/A engine to be offered with the RS6. After this we saw an Avant, then Saloon winter weather tested and finally more saloons being tested on the ring as well as all over Europe. With the exception of one time when we seen the Black Avant lapping the ring it has always been the saloon that has been spied.

Trust me, the saloon will be the one on sale first.

NOT REALLY!!! compare some audis to the bmws here on this site http://www.einszweidrei.de , with less hp bmw are always faster than audis on higher speed above 140 or 160km/h. look at the 320i E46 150ps is alot faster after 160km/h than the audi a3 1.8t with 150 ps. that sucks. audi are lot slower after 200km/h.

Wich one would be the fastest if the rumour is tru..
Opcoming Rs5, New Rs4, or the New Rs6 it will be very close.
I think the Rs5 will do 0-100 at least 4.2 sec not slower than that i hope.

AudiSuperDriver
August 4th, 2007, 21:51
RS5 will be like 4.1-4.2, new RS6 3.9-4s(not official you know audi is writing on paper only usual driver figure) and new RS4 will do in 4.2-4.3 officialy!

This may sound trivial, but I honestly hope that they shape the fenders more aggressively than so far seen in the photos. I hope (and I love the S6 as I own one) the RS6 doesn't just have changes to its front facia and rear exhausts to denote an RS6 visually.

It`s interesting if there is some tuning company who can instal v10 biturbo from new RS6 to RS5 in future (Like Hartge do with 3d series BMW and M5 engine). It would be realy angry car

The only things my dealer(US) would tell me as "gospel" was that the RS6 will debut at Frankfurt and that the '08 RS4 would stay at 420 hp. One would assume he was talking about the RS4 cabio coming to the States as an '08 RS4.

There is rumours that the RS5 will be using a version of the V8FSI with Bi-turbos, so would there really be any need for the expense of trying fitting the RS6 engine.
