A4/S4/RS4 Official Audi A4 (B8) Thread (Spy pics & info)

[Mr. M]

I know what he's talking about.

In short - this won't be an A5 sedan. This will be more like the Huck impressions we've seen.

That's great. I believe the short body of an A4 won't bode well with the wavy-like shoulder line.

Take a look at some of the spyshot which have been posted here. You can see that the A4 will have the same front as the A5. As for the rear, based on what we have seen it does seem that there will be som differences there.

On spyshots we can only see top line of the front lights. The shape could be different than the one in A5.

If they are shooting a comercial in S Africa, why isn't there any photos?

Well, my guess is that they are shooting the commercial on a mountain road by the sea and the road is being closed for the shooting.

The front lights will be different and similar to Huck's impression but overall i expect he A4 to be less rounded.

i expect he A4 to be less rounded.

So you expect it to be more square? That would be a huge step backwards if current tranportation design trends are anything to go by. From the looks of the spy pics of the camo'd cars just a copule of pages back it looks as if the new A4 will have a sloping nose and roof, which makes me think "curves".

 

[Yperion]

I 'm just saying that Hick's impression is almost there but not quite. Like the A5 he seems to have the basic lines correct but overall the A4 won't be so rounded in some of the details.

 

[Deutsch]

I'm going to make an assumption here; Since the B8 A4 is going to debut at the IAA this Sept. I'm going to guess and say that it's North American debut will be here in L.A. 3 months later. Makes sense to me.

 

[BigBoss]

Nothing new yet?

Audi have stated that they want people to be able to diversify between the Audi models. Presently the Audi range is similar in appearence from the front. Hopefully the new A4 will therefore be different to the A5. New A4 will have rear LED lights, two red squares on each side like the TT but squares will not be level.

Indeed, looks very attractive. With that exterior it will be a hit.

This is very very nice:

Re: Preview: 2009 Audi A4

Audi is already preparing the next RS4 which will have 450 horsepower?

That's the information that MotorTrend Magazine has gathered. If we believe the magazine , the all new RS4 will hit the streets at least a year after the new A4 , fall 2008 at the earliest....

Good! I have always thought of Audi's RS strategy as ilogical. I just don't see the point in launching a high performance version at the end of a car's life circle. But a new RS4 in two years time from now sounds like a good idea to me, maybe then I will be able to pick up a nice used B7 RS4 for just under 40 000 euro.

Actually you can pick it NOW with a price close to that. Low millage ofcourse. I dunno but the price of the new RS4 depreciates here so fast

 

[Merc1]

I'm a little confused on these RS cars. I thought I read where Audi will only have one RS car in production at once? If so then isn't the RS6 going to tie up RS production for the next few years? Wouldn't that put the RS5 and RS4 off some years respectively?
