Here we go! The fastest 4 door saloon car to take on the Ring. 4WD AND not particularly fast in a straight line, it must have great handling despite that considerable front weight bias. Audi obviously did their homework. Now I can only imagine what the RS6 will do.

We discussed this earlier and the car used R-tires and its no an officiell time from Audi. Sportauto has driven the new RS4, expect a fullrapport within 4 weeks.

The RS4 is a great car but Jut_me has a point here. R-tires do make a huge signifigance. Take the AMV8 which was tested with and without R-tires around the ring and the difference between the times was 10 seconds. Also take a look at the M3 CSL which is more or less on top of the list and since it comes stock with R-tires it has a huge advantage over other cars.

I can take it cause I know next M3 will make up for it but maybe I should use BMWs factory times as well and we know they are better than Sportautos. Bum-man dont be a wimp, you know sportauto is the best source out-there.
I dont want another fight about this but I know deep down inside you, you agree with me.

Horst von Saurma dont doubt that the new Rs4 will manage it below 8 minutes with R-tires but he couldnt get the new Rs4 at the same time when F430 and Zonda where tested but he has now driven the new RS4 as well but it hasnt been officiell yet. First Sportauto will present the times for M6 in 1 week.
