...well, probably not the proper test - to name it, the "Supertest" - but in the article they say that this´ll follow soon, so what did Jo Übler - the man behind HvS - say, he liked the new 40/60 distribution because now with ESP off little drifts are possible - business as usual the Quattro is good for outstanding longitudinal performance, on the other hand understeering is again, but this time a minor, issue with over 1000kg on the front axle of the overall 1725kg - which is unfortunately again quite heavy...
of course he enjoyed the engine although some might miss that beautiful boost of the V6 BiTurbo, gearbox is definitely an improvement of the already very good working one from the last edition, acceleration with 4.9sec is on 911S level, up to 200 the new one is 2 sec faster than the old RS4 - engine sound is very good - only major issue is the 250kmh limit...

HHR: due to it´s layout the RS4 is not that good for a narrow track like HHR it has simply too much weight on the front axle so understeering is quite an issue, nevertheless the RS4 is good for a 1:15.8, nearly as good as a Porsche 911 and better than a BMW M3, also because of the outstanding braking performance in combination with the Pirelli Corsa tires...
