Riz Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I`m looking at a BMW as my next car, lost faith in my Audi and VW dealerships! Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 yeah, think i am leaning towards the M4. Over 400bhp and rear wheel drive. Lets just hope the price is right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 [ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Good old Autocar. I made that mistake with a V6 Ferrari concept I was doodling a while back. 6 cylinders into 4 exhausts!? I still think the RS3 is an Autocar special edition. Time will tell...

RobK Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 What's wrong with that? The M3 has 6 cylinders and 4 exhausts. It's probably just a dual system with twin tailpipes each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Why bother, RS3 just needs a big juicy pipe for each bank. Surely that would be smoother and more efficient than dividing into two pipes per bank?

Adam Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 one question - thought the RS3 rumours were based on the sportsback 5 door A3 so why is everyone photochopping the 3 door as unfortunately it won't look as good as this? as I had heard the RS3 is expected in 5 door format only I am not interested - hope they are wrong and you budding designers are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 U know when the new RS4 is coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Welcome to the Forum. I would say mid 2005 onwards will see announcements and more news. 4.2 V8 with around 420bhp possible? Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I have UK RS4 "x" plate - be interested to see the price, any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Well i would imagine that the new RS4 would cost around the £50k mark maybe abit less. The current RS4 is a wicked car..... Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I agree - had it a year done 25k miles and want something different, test drove the new A8 6.0l on Friday - dealer would not let me go... Wanted £69k for ex demo 7k miles May 04 car.... Felt more at home in my RS4 when I got back in it - A8 was a little "old" at 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
