That's one slick Audi. Is it coming to the States?

That'll be rediculous... just hope they can get the weight distribution somewhat acceptable... sure to be a rocket sled!

There's been a lot of discussion about these pics on the Audi forums recently, and personally I hope it does turn out to be the next RS4 and actually has a turbo motor. Not holding my breath, though... there were "RS4" spy pics last year that obviously never panned out (since the B6 platform is dead next year). I also have a bad feeling Audi will use some version of an FSI V8 in the RS4, if it does come out, and forgo the turbos.

Still, got my fingers crossed... would make a nice replacement for my Stage III B5 S4.

It would make sense to use a tried and tested engine which can easily attain 500 HP, so I don´t see why it wouldn´t be true.

Looks like a car for a 60 year old CPA, not impressive exterior look for a high hp car, looks like a normal body from the shot..

Hope the RS4 goes with the RS6 engine- currently MTM offers smooth, reliable engine upgrades of 575HP, massive torquefor the RS6. Thats 125HP over stock! Of course that's stage 4 and requires lot's labor and product cost but well worth the money.

Here's some more rumor....

Sounds more credible though - perhaps no turbos after all
