will there be a new RS4?
i think they are starting to change this trend with the tt-rs as it is out the same time as the rs5. Quattro GMBh seems to have a lot on its plate and up i sleeve with r8 variants and such as well. Im sure we will see an rs4 will it be europe only, maybe an avant who knows. there is also whispers of a 3l turbo 6 that was developed at the same time as the supercharged one. then you look at the v8 that is going into the new a8 and there is an all new turbo v8 at 4.0l as well. the options seem endless but whatever they do im sure it will be great.
also the supercharged 6 has a lot more potential, mtm sees around 430hp with a piggyback that is in no way an ideal way to make power out of the motor and once you start talking new superchargers(as the pulley is rumored to be about as small as usable on the s4) we could see close to 500hp without a lot of work or drama.....
lots of choices for them so who knows

There was a 3.0L twin turbo that Audi developed back before they introduced the 4.2L powered S4. It was the engine that was rumored to go into the S4 until Audi surprised everyone with the V8. Audi has tried to be pretty convincing that they're making the move to supercharged engines as opposed to turbocharged for efficiency, but then again, who knows...

there was a new single turbo 3L v6 designed along side the new supercharged one. the supercharged one won out for its low down grunt for the a6 ( read this on audiworld a bit back) and can serve other duty in the s4 and im sure the q5 as well as just announced in the q7. I cannot see audi moving all the way away from turbos as the newest v8 is a 4l single turbo set to out later in the new a8. either way im so glad to see FI coming back to the s cars and hopefully the rs cars as well. audi for sure needs to spread more of the inline 5 turbo costs out so i would be interested to see where that motor pops up next rs3? who knows. now if people would just hurry up with the chips for the s4 mines here end of june and i would like 400+ hp asap when it shows up

I wouldn't argue this point except that the RS5 IS already in production...I've seen several pics of them roaming the streets of Europe.

I have an answer to this.....the TTrs is not made at quattro its made by Audi at a factory in Győr, Hungary where the rest of the tt's are made leaving the quattro factory open to make the rs5. this makes sense as they are now bringing the TTrs to canada (250) of them and maybe the US.

What light weight cars... Audi's are porkers for their size.
