New RS4 possibly spotted
 
As you guys may remember, Recently Audi announced the release of a new Chasis/Body facelift for its A4 and S4 model range. Recently spotted by Autobild.de were some exclusive shots possibly of the new B7 RS4. This clearly wont be the production rather clearly a prototype (note rollcage, 4 point harness etc.) but it still looks very very good. (note: this is clearly at the Nurburgring Race track in Germany, where most european car manufacturers test their cars)

i like it.
the skinny headlights remind me a little bit of a few fiats and seats. and maybe a little bit of the opel calibra.

Wow, that looks excellent, I wonder what trannie it will have...

Skaala 10-14-2004 04:33 PM

Already kinda cute! Talk about fat muffler :D

kramerman 10-14-2004 04:44 PM

Like the rims and the mufflers.. but the front is a little odd. not as 'smooth' as i would like an audi to be.

skituner 10-14-2004 04:46 PM

looks mean 8)

dutchmasterflex 10-14-2004 05:09 PM

wow.. this is the first new audi i think looks nice... i really dont like what they are doin with their giant sized grills in their new models... but in black it doesnt look as bad because it blends in

SPEEDKILLAR 10-14-2004 05:43 PM

Its cool, except for the A6 rear lights :?

Just_me 10-14-2004 06:08 PM

sorry guys, this is not the new rs4, only an ABT version of A4

PeleProdigyGTO 10-14-2004 06:08 PM

I love the new fat grills, I like it on this one and even more on the new A6. This looks really good. And I'm pretty sure a new M3 is faster than an S4.

LOL it was bye bye M3 with the S model, with this the M`s will probably not even get a good view of the mufflers....... :twisted:

what do you mean? S4 with 344hp is slower than M3.

If that is 'just' the ABT, the RS4 is going to rock!

As for the M3 v S4 debate, the S4 has always been quicker in the twisties, some argue it has a better lap time on corner heavy trackes. However, in terms of driver 'feel' it lacks something. In a straight line, I believe the M3 would win, and (this is comming from an audi fan!) the M3 MAY be more fun to drive! I will let you know when I have driven both lol :wink:

Looks good with the all black grille although the headlights remind me of someone who has had a little too much plastic surgery around the eyes, lol. It's certainly aggressive though.
