Default Audi Unveil 2005 RS6 (Doh it's an RS4, idiot!)

Audi has unveiled their new RS4 sports car. It has a 4.2 litre V8 with 420hp (100hp per litre, not bad!) and has a rev limit of 8250rpm. Peak torque is 430@5500rpm and has 90% of it's torque between 2250 and 7600rpm. 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds. I personally love the car except for the front which is very flat and not tough in any way, but the rest is great.









Here's a vid of the launch of the car and Audi really know how to put it to good use. AWD V8 + Snow + Large Area = Donuts :

The 4.2 is simply in a class of its own.

It's a nice looking vehicle but that grille doesn't do it for me.

Wow, that is beautiful.

I actually like the front. The rear looks a bit Subaruish to me.

Love it. Shame I can't afford one.

Looks like a earlier version of the liberty at the back. Would look heaps better if they seperated the front grill into two and make the damn mirrors the same colour as the rest of the car as well.
Other than that it looks pretty sweet.
So how much for one of these baby's??

/me dreams.

Ahhh how lovely that is. Although personally I prefer the front over the rear....the rear looks too Saab-esque.
