Audi to release R4
 

Audi R4

Audi meets Porsche for the all new R4? To debut when? I'm first in line!!!!

The R4 will get a boxer engine while the Boxster will get quattro....what a twist!

First Audi pairs with Lambo, now Porsche!

Hope you enjoy....I did!

RE: Audi to release R4
 

Actually it says just the opposite. The Audi won't use a boxer engine, but rather I4 and I5's. And there is no way inhell you're gonna see an AWD Boxster....

first, audi didnt "pair" with lambo, they own lambo.

RE: Audi to release R4
 

Yeah, and Audi and Porsche had a partnership way befor Lambo was part of VAG... (See Audi RS2):eek:

Plus, Porsche owns about 30% (or more by now) of VAG anyway

RE: Audi to release R4
 

So basically porsche feels a bit threatened so they're buying out audi to keep their bottom line safe. As a result audi gets some of porsche's performance engineering and maybe some engines later down the line. Well even if it is a total buy out I wouldn't be mad. Last time porsche and audi hooked up the RS2 was the result. I see a bright future for the quattro brand.

But wait. If the R4 is gonna be mid engine coupe, whats gonna happen to the nose heavy TT?

RE: Audi to release R4
 

You couldn't be more wrong. Porsche has had an interest in VAG way before they days of the RS2. They've owned at least a third of VAG for the last 15 year now. They feel about as 'threatened' by Audi as Ford does by Boeing.

If you want to go back farther, Ferdinand Porsche started Volkswagen. Thats why the first Volkswagen air cooled flat 4 is very similar to the older Porsche air cooled flat 6.

so does this mean they will throw yellow porsche brakes on audis, so guys can quit getting them off ebay and salvage cars, and for the real guys with money, just going in and buying them?

lol[8D]

RE: Audi to release R4
 

hey hey, dont be making fun of the porsche brake guys, i own some, haha

RE: Audi to release R4
 

porsche didn't start VW... they partnered for awhile back when UAG started racing the Audi Silver Bullet. The guy that started UAG and Audi (forgot his name) worked for porsche and parted ways to start his own

and Audi doesn't own Lambo... VW owns Audi and Lambo...
