S4plus and RS4. . . . What the heck?!?!
Did I read that right? Did the writeup on the S4 and M3 state that there
were planned versions to be termed S4plus and RS4. What the heck will be
going on with those cars. Here's my theory.
S4 plus - to combat the new M3 (rumored to have a V8). I bet in heritage of
the original plus, they shoehorn a V8 into the car, and upgrade the brakes
etc to handle it. Sounds like a screamer.
RS4 - How do you top a V8 S4plus? Rumor is the next S6 will have a biturbo
V8, so if they can shoehorn the V8, maybe they can shoehorn the V8 biturbo.
Still, big literage and no differences from an Audi spec engine would not
an RS (Porsche tuned) Audi make, so I bet it will be more similar to the
existing S4. Let Porsche engineers play around with the 2.7 biturbo and
increase hp. Next throw on some Boxsteresque front and rear fascias, and
some Porsche 5-spoke rims, and it sounds like it can carry the crown.
Still, all this S4 talk has me depressed that the car is not yet available
in the US? Later-George
