Sorry Fab I cannot confirm when Top Gear episode will be on air for Switzerland. I base myself on the UK diffusion of Top Gear which is on BBC2 every Sunday night at 8.00pm.

For those who will not be able to see on BBC2, don't worry it will surely exist full of links to download this RS4 video.

Oh and apparently the Stig took it round the track earlier in the day (not filmed) and got a time of 1.25. The new Porsche Cayman was also on the show and only managed 1.26.

Here's some others for comparison.

Koenigsegg - 1.23.9
Noble - 1.25.0
Gallardo - 1.25.8
Lotus Exige - 1.26.4
Chevrolet Corvette - 1.26.8
Mercedes CLS 55 AMG - 1.26.9
Porsche 911 GT3 - 1.27.2




is this possible ?

It's not very up to date though and it doesn't tell if it was a wet lap or not.

Report on Top Gear feature on new RS4

Jeremy Clarkson praised the new RS4 highly. He said it wasn't just better than the M3 but in a completely different league.

key points:

1. Great steering
2. Feel issues associated with engine being mounted so far forward eliminated
3. Suspension the best he had ever encountered on an Audi
4. He thinks the engine is one of 20 best engines ever made
5. Highly responsive and agile
6. Build quality as usual excellent
7. Faster round the leatively short Top Gear track than the new Porsche Cayman by more than a second, (i.e. assuming that the Ring is eight times longer, I supspect that RS4 would beat it by around 10 seconds)

All in all this is a stunning car and all the more impressive given that it is a saloon car.

My two pennies worth of additional comments are this:

- RS4 clearly has development issues, but these shouldn't worry anyone: the final production car will undoubtedly be perfect

- Sure the new B8 A4 will have a fundamentally better chassis, but it is at least 2 years away and performance versions are 4 years away.

- However good the new B8 A4 the latest RS4 is likely to be a classic car with an appeal that goes way beyond its replacement date.

Indeed! The new RS4 is gonna own everything in it's path :D
why worry about a high reving audi engine? Le Mans ring any bells? common it's audi guys! No BMW is going to stand up against this one :D
Gonna download this top gear episode right now!

Right now is season 7 ep 2
So, this one (http://www.mininova.org/tor/158603), this one (http://www.mininova.org/tor/158592) and this one (http://www.mininova.org/tor/158521). You should look wich is the healthiest one (most seeders compared to leechers. And also the size. They're all the same ep, but recorded by someone else. The ones by VUK (not released yet, you can see it in the title when it's his) are the best.

@hrs6: it's not available in the US (not the original version anyway), since it's on BBC.

I saw it yesterday evening, it was the best B7 RS4 review I see so far, the scenery in this region of France is simply awesome. :thumb: :rs4addict

Clarkson who loves the new RS4 said:


You may a thought the BMW M3 was a quick car....This (RS4) is just in a different league !

This is better than an M3 ?...I think it is !

Upcoming Sunday

This week, the boys wanted to celebrate the single greatest supercar of today, but couldn't agree what that was. Eventually, they decided to take one each on a massive road test to find out.

The result? A Ferrari F430, Ford GT and Pagani Zonda flat-out through France. Prepare for one of the most stunning items Top Gear has ever made. And the shock of James May driving like his brogues are on fire. See our series preview feature for more details.
