Official Audi A4 (B8) Thread (Spy pics & info)

Do Audi test their cars in northern Alaska, around Area 57 and in Chernobyl where no body would bother going? They are sneaky as hell with new models.

The already known engines will be used:

1.8 TFSI -> 130 hp
1.8 TFSI -> 160 hp
2.0 TFSI -> 200 hp
2.8 FSI -> 220 hp
3.2 FSI -> 255 hp
4.2 FSI -> 354 hp (S4)

2.0 TDI > 140 hp
2.0 TDI -> 170 hp
2.7 TDI -> 180 hp
3.0 TDI -> 233 hp

Audi is rumored to be preparing a 3.0 lt TFSI with 300+ hp as an aswer to BMW's 3.0 biturbo.

that PS is not good enough..

The PS looks good but the car is missing character lines which are common for all new cars annó 2007.

When I seen the car in South Africa ( In which they were imitating BMW driving shots) There were both standard and S4 versions being photographed. The Audi team were very cagey shooting at one location and then covering it , wheeling it back into an enclosed trailer and only moving a few yards down the road. (We just drive it down a few yards)

But Mercedes-Benz were also filming the C63 T-modell which left the Audi for dead I wonder if ithat will make the final edit?

The look is actually evolutionary current A4 mixed with A5 cues.

What were BMW filming there?

M3 cabrio? M3 sedan? 1er cabrio? X6?

I wonder if the design of the new A4 will impress everyone as much as the A5/S5.
I keep hearing from journalist reviews that it beats BMW E92 and CLK hands down.

Yannis, do you know what the torque difference between those two engines is?

We know that it will have the same front end as the A5, but it's the rear end I'm curious about and the whole profile of the car. I hope that the interior is top notch because some magazines have complained about the A5 interior, that it is not 100% up to Audi standards.
