Hello!!
Has the new RS4 a Turbo??? Otherwise they managed to get 100pk/liter out of an atmosferic engine!! Almost as good as an M engine!
///M3 forever!!!!

No turbo. It is a naturally aspirated V8 -- revs to 8250 rpm, same redline as M5!

[/quote]The problem is they'll be carrying 300 extra lbs because of the Quattro. Then there's that pesky engine out in front of the axle, giving you the standard Audi 60/40 weight distribution.
BUT, until the new M3 comes out, this will be the king of the compact sedans for sure!

My Ride: 545i - ordered in January delivered April 21st! Black Sapphire Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple.
Available as a sedan in the U.S. in mid-2006 - when does the new M3 come out?
RS4 Specs - pretty impessive - though they are talking $70k-$25k over an S4. maximum output of 420 bhp with its displacement of 4163 cc.
V8 revs up to a speed of 8250 rpm.
Maximum torque of 430 Nm comes at 5500
90 percent of the engine's torque available between 2250 and 7600 rpm.
100 km/h in 4.8 seconds
200 km/h in 16.6 seconds
power-to-weight ratio of just 3.93 kilos per bhp
Just read the main post....nevermind....
