Not bad.

To say that is a 335 SE (more of a cruiser than anything) tops it off.

wouldn't it have made more sense to compare the S5 with the M3?

no coz the RS4 = M3
technically the RS5 (when it comes out) should = M6
RS6 = M5
and so on ...

The RS4 is a saloon and the M3 is a coupe.So they are different but almost in the same class

 

[Rob.H]

They are releasing an M3 Saloon though this time round, and an estate. So its pretty much the main rival.

RS4 avant VS M3 Touring
RS4 VS M3 Saloon
RS4 Cab VS M3 Cab

You get the idea!

audi, anytime anywhere

dad has had rs audis for ages and has just ordered the r8. was taken out in it last week. OMG. pants. . . new. . . needed.
































the old bmw m3 and m5 are the best looking cars bmw ever produced and i love them

 

[wozzaa]

Would take the Audi personally. Think its prettier. The New BMW's just do nothing for me.

Although if I was spending that kind of cash neither would be on my list of cars I would look at. £40k would get me a Saleen Mustang and well I would rather have something a little more attention grabbing and rarer. Thats also quicker. And in my opinion prettier.

 

[Rob.H]

Wonder if they will do a RS8??? Some kind of lambo chaser...now that will be the sex!

the audi r8 is a machine, i know a lad who has one and he took me for a spin.On normal roads it kept with our mates 997 turbo and so much easier to drive.The v10 will be a monster

Porka Turbo owners I've spoken to all say they don't come much easier to drive.

The R8 is a V10 isn't it...... Gallardo engine minus 50bhp (different exhaust/intake??)

 

[philmots]

R8 is a V8, RS4 engine... Lambo V10 is coming though

Ah.

Was it originally going for the Gallardo engine or am I just imagining things?

 

[Ian_182]

Maybe the future RS8 will be the lambo engine ,but for now the porsche has to be beaten by this 4.2 V8.Bit of a kick in the nuts for them tbh

Doubt it, Porka has more power, more torque and is the same weight.

 

[Ian_182]

But the audi does more with less.It outhandled the porsche hands down.And on the bedford track was only a couple of tenths behind an enzo ferrari

 

[Ross M]

the R8 is faster round a track but ...

 

[R20 CWH]

335i is quality but getting a wee bit too common sadly

 

[Ian_182]

Great.it means us peasants can afford one soon
