From the snippets I can find it seems to be the same engine as mine with a revised induction system taking it up to 450bhp, but then we know the issues that are associated with the RS4 engine. I am also disappointed to read it will only be available as an automatic, which will dilute it's entire experience and is quite heavy too. I have also seen some very high pricing for the car taking it into M6 territory which means it will have to utterly epic or it will sink like a lead balloon price wise and saddly Audi rarely make epic cars. I feel the fail could be strong in this one, but I would be more than happy to eat my words.
