And then boom!:


So just wait a while. The new B8 has really a lot of potential!

I've never seen a B6 looking like the blue car you posted. What is that, some SE version?

No. The engine sits in B8 engine bay, 3.2 FSI Valvelift with 330Nm. Yet with only 265HP, and not 300HP like in Roadjet concept.

Meaning: this engine is capable of 300HP (or even more) yet Audi decided to offer it in de-tuned variant.

Why? Will they offer 300HP version later?

I doubt they developed engine capable of 300+HP but not offering it with this output.

Is it possible 3.2 TFSI will be installed in a new S4 instead of V8?

Snatched this info from Road and Track!

A new feature on the A4 is the "drive select" option that remaps accelerator pedal response, automatic transmission shift points, power steering boost, steering ratio and the stiffness of the electronically controlled shocks. The three settings provide for comfort, automatic or dynamic modes, while a fourth selection called "individual" allows the driver to program up to 24 different parameters through the MMI system.

Looks like the A4 might be quit the drivers car....

Nice touch.

Eg. BMW offers same "individual performance settings" feature in some M cars only (via MDrive feature).

While some other models have presets only (eg. 7er, X5, Z4 via Sport button etc). And not for all systems (steering, throttle, dampers etc) in most cases.

In some cases BMW are such penny pinchers - offering some goodies in M cars only (eg. this individual settings, LSD, etc).


Good for Audi customers.
Audi's slogan is "Vorsprung durch Technik" after all. They are almost obligated to offer some features, tech, solutions the competition do not offer (or is offered only in top-end models).
