is it or like its not as exciting seeing an audi hidden as much as u would be saying about a BMW ...for tis even if it said RS4 i would be like ehh i know what its gona look ..but when an some BMW M is spied i am like i am dying to see what its gona look like!! ...anyone feel that way?

i see what you're saying but because many people already know what the new a4 looks like there isn't really much to hide except for the front and rear bodykits and even then it's not much of a surprise
the car looks great nonetheless

Nobody expected the Audi TT-S to have a new radical sporty bumper, no body expected Audi to release the R8 either. Audi never releases a finished model during testing, I think you can only determine it when they release the studio promo shots.

What is that extra hole to the bottom left of the front grille?
It is the adaptive cruise controll radar!

Desiathate: I definitely agree with you but it's probably just because I'm a BMW nut and generally prefer their cars. ;-) This will be a great car though, I can't wait to see it. Then there's always the RS...

I actually love seeing Audi spyshots because unlike all other car makers they tend to do their testing in deep secret. When BMW is testing, they test out in the open with bizare camo on, thats what makes them so interesting. I must say when its an "S" Audi then I am not so exiting to see them, but if its an "RS" Audi, then I pee my pants dying to see what it ends up like. I guess its all about what you like more, Audi or BMW. Both companies will have their fans, and I just prefer Audi over any BMW. Especially when it comes to RS vs ///M

That hole could possibly be for infrared/night vision camera?

i'm hopeful the hole in the front grill is a rocket launcher for people who won't get out of the fast lane.
good looking car though, i even like the lights on the roof.

That hole is Adaptive Cruise Control radar system.
The engine is already confirmend by Audi dealers: 3.0 TFSI with 333bhp (3.0 V6 FSI Valve-Lift with Twin Screw Four-Lobe (Twin Vortices Series) TVS Eaton Compressor

What's with the randomly angled, shapeless taillight design? BMW started it on the 3 sedan, and it's horrible, now Audi. Does any designer know what ugly means anymore? It used to be fun driving behind a new BMW or Audi, but not with rears this ugly... oh crap!
February 23, 2008 12:17 pm
Yea needs to get used to, but I reckon its better than the current 3 series rear...yuk!

And how were you able to obtain this sort of information on the engine FP23?
February 23, 2008 2:05 pm
It's a done deal, but still Audi internal and not officially confirmend or published. Wether you believe it or not ... that's another story (anyway all your speculations will be wrong).
The 3.0 TFSI is the Audi answer to the BMW x35i biturbo engine, all who wait for V8 power: RS4 is coming...
btw: Audi S4 Avant 3.0 TFSI spy:

I'm not saying they won't release that kind of engine in the short term (the 1.4TFSi proved to be sensational in the Golf), but to me it'd make more sense to name it A4 3.0 TFSi, not S4. If that were the case, why did they relase the V8 S5 then?
February 24, 2008 8:53 pm
He's right about the supercharged 3.0L, and the S5 is more of a GT car hence the V8. The S4 is in between a 335i and an M3. It will also supposedly have torque vectoring.

I promise you i can draw an RS4, S4, S6, RS6, S8 RS8 if any with my eyes closed. The flippin things look the same as Henry Fords Chitty chitty bang bangs looked the same. Come to think of it that grill is really a Chitty chitty bang bang grill. How can you honestly anticipate to see a car that is designed in one way and wrong way only. You see one you've seen them all. Only pipo with amnesia will like the design coz they forget easily. Merc changed their design, BMW changed their design even Hyundai and Honda change their design.

Very funny, mate, every BMW has nostril grills, and talk about in-consistency. Only you and 50 year old mums who dont know anything about cars dont notice the difference between the models. You can drive your classless cars elsewhere.

Oh, Topgear and a few other motoring journalists have already compared the new A4 to the new Merc C class. Both sports spec packed and it's not surprising that the Merc turns heads whereever it goes, has better dynamics, better design and is miles ahead in name and fan base compared to car that has come out with the loud statement "spot the difference". Yawn. The comparison by the motoring specialist was that Audi has once again drawn the short straw. Keep on Galloping on front wheels or 4 wheels. Two legs good, 4 legs bad.

it's hard to make out, but the audi got bangled! the line on the lower third of the silhouette!!!

Extract from Topgear "Lexus ISf: ...And yet, right now, we have several extraordinary cars that manage it to varying degrees of success. The Merc C63 is properly mental. The RS4 (I know it's out of production), is a brilliant, brilliant thing. The BMW M3 brings together so much tech and knowledge that the sheer speed it can amass is almost inconceivable... Of the 3 which one do you think from these statements recieved the highest praise?
February 26, 2008 3:50 am
Yet more Lexus ISF report by Topgear... It (lexus) isn't particularly hardcore, really. Not when faced with the M3 or the C63. It's actually more like the RS4 - a better all-rounder that loses perhaps the last five per cent of speed in pursuit of the real world. The steering has an awfully dead feel to it, and there's a dearth of seat-of-the-pants information. But there's an ease to the eight-speed auto and creamy-smooth V8 that means you could live with this car... Someone not too long ago said that AMerc is for old pipo... wrong again. Merc AMG is a car for boys with ...you know what i mean.

C63 is faster and more hardocre than the M3 yet. You turn the power on and it feels like a Corvette in boxes @ Le Mans.

Fiat 500 voted car of the year 2008. Last time i checked, the Fiat did not mutate into an Audi. By the way 2006 world car of the year, which one was it?
February 26, 2008 4:18 am
Wisp u dont even know what ur saying le mans is all audi and plus the reason u are saying all this stuff is because u know absolutly nothing about audi's.
