yea actually i read somewhere that they mite revert back the the 3.0L v6 engine and do the TT setup. the pic on the Nurburgring test track was a black rs4 opposed to the blue one thats posted everywhere. i hope this rumour is true

Actually i just checked it out and it is still the n/a V8 w/ 420bhp... looks like audi is trying to be the new generation muscle cars.

Haha speaking of twin turbos, MB is putting out the AMG S65 in '06, which will have a twin-turbocharged 6.0L V12!! but its also $$$. Anyone think audi will do this eventually? I kinda think this is the direction of the RS6...possibly, but hopefully not.

The S65 must down gas like mad, and thats not good with todays gas prices.[sm=boosign.gif]

personally, i completely agree with and remained impressed with the direction that Audi has taken with the S-cars. believe me, the B5 remains my favorite thus far, but the B6 and B7, to me are still better than anything BMW or Mercedes have to offer in the same class. also, with them using the V8 in so many applications, i think we benefit from a more thorughly developed and progressive engine PLUS they sidestep the limitations of having a high-strung engine just waiting to tear itself apart, like the M3. just an opinion ...

my 2 revs
