from the July 2005 Evo Magazine "Audi gets serious. Audi is hell-bent on shaking up the sports car establishment, and that means tackling the BMW M3 and Porsche 911 head-on. Its weapons for the job are the new RS4 with its astonishingly rev-hungry, 414bhp V8 and re-configured quattro drivetrain, and the stunning mid-engined R9. We drive the rampant RS4 to the limit (and beyond) and grill the boss of quattro GmbH about Audi's most ambitious sports car to date, the 911-rivalling, four-wheel-drive R9"
This car looks ridiculously fast and i hope theyre correct about that "911 killer" nickname

The R9's a little too futuristic for my tastes, and I'd have to replace those ugly rear veiw's, other than that, looks pretty solid.
