Awesome conversion, shame he had to leave the diesel lump in it.

That's amazing. But why would he do that?

TaKeN · 22 Oct 2009 at 18:17

Awesome transformation, but I dread to think how much it cost to convert..

Also keeping the Diesel engine is a tad.. :confused:

How much does a 1.9TDi put out? I'm guessing 110-130 if you're lucky.

no engine conversion = fail. I assume it also has no RS4 drivetrain either.

It does look pretty sweet though, can't help but think it would make a sweet drift car with a V8 and RWD. Would look cool going sideways with a ton of smoke pouring out the rear, no?

Used RS4s in Norway cost circa £135,000. I believe its ommisions tax related

He gives an example of an Audi RS4 2007, 18000 km. costing kr. 1.339.000 - thats £136,519!!

I think that answers your question re the diesel.

spoonz points out the reason why. That work ain't cost him £100k+

quite. it's based on emissions and weight for some bizarre reason, among other things.
it would have cost me £12,000 to import by 7 year old Leon into Norway!

well, that and diesel costs £1.20 against £1.40

Ignore him. He's a smelly little troll.

it must be 4wd, check this picture out:

you see the drive shaft, hence 4wd?

daveydave · 22 Oct 2009 at 18:59

very good conversion - cant but help he gets a bit of a strange feeling as he walks to it in the morning though. Wish it had the engine too etc.

Westyfield2 · 22 Oct 2009 at 19:00

That looks seriously awesome :cool:

.

Though at the very least I'd have mapped the 1.9TDi, but preferably replace it with one of the Vee's if sticking with diseasel...

Leave it out!

Very clever stuff though pointless.

ganesh · 22 Oct 2009 at 19:20

Impressive, amazing attention to detail and looks great. But as everyone else has said, pointless and a waste of money.

I can see why he didn't want to buy an RS4, but is the whole point of the RS the way it goes - not the way it looks?

Pretty much the same as a stock RS4 on the rollers then.

Slime101 · 22 Oct 2009 at 19:35

Looks fantastic

peterattheboro · 22 Oct 2009 at 20:21

Don't RS4's put out 130bhp anyway?

I mean Audi lie about their 400bhp quotations

/runs....

For some. I love the way the RS4 looks but if there was a 300bhp option with half the running costs I'd have one.
