First no, then yes. A few months ago, the news that the current generation Audi A4 not count on an extreme version RS, ran like wildfire with the existence of RS versions on the bodies of three gates of the family as a justification-releases A5 Cabrio and A5- . However, the latest spy photos from the Nurburgring circuit show a test drive to dismantle the former approach, being a mule RS4 future. Without being confirmed, it is assumed that under the hood of this unit test is the same engine that encourages RS5 versions, a naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine in V and 4,200 cubic centimeters, capable of a maximum power of 450CV. For his part, as a vehicle gearbox, the S Tronic dual-clutch seven-speed is the great candidate for the future RS4.
Although the photographs show test unit with a familiar body Avant, the RS4 is also expected to be available in sedan body, as had happened with the previous generation. When you reach the market, expected over the next year 2012, the main rival of the vehicle is the Mercedes C63 AMG. For its part, BMW and does not currently have an M3 4-door sedan body, so if nothing changes with the arrival of the new generation 3 Series later this year, BMW will have no rival for the above models RS4 Audi and Mercedes C63 AMG. Alongside this high-performance variant, Audi is also preparing the new S6, S7 and S8, whose landing would occur together in the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show to be held in the month of September. However, there are chances that any of them be delayed until early 2012.
