Audi RS4 Avant (Spy)

[h=2]Will feature a turbocharged six-cylinder engine[/h]Audi just took the wraps off the 2016 A4 but that hasn't stopped Quattro GmbH boss Heinz Hollerweger from revealing new details about the upcoming RS4 Avant.

Speaking to Car & Driver, Hollerweger confirmed the model will be "launched relatively early in the production cycle" and it will feature a turbocharged six-cylinder engine that develops more than 420 bhp (313 kW).

While Americans were denied the last RS4 Avant, Hollerweger said "The U.S. is changing and there is more demand there [for wagons], so maybe that will change." Even if the RS4 Avant doesn't make it stateside, the executive hinted the next-generation RS5 Sportback could eventually come to America.

A 2016 launch means that the RS4 joins the range much sooner than previous generations of the performance-focused A4. The fourth generation of Audi A4 didn’t get the RS4 version until 2012, despite the standard car going on sale in 2008.However, Horst Glaser, Audi’s head of chassis development, said demand has brought the next generation of RS4 forwards. “Our customers want the RS version earlier in the product lifecycle while the car is still new,” he said.

There are no confirmed details on the new RS4’s engine but, in a departure from the outgoing version, which uses a 4.2-litre, 444bhp naturally aspirated V8, it is expected to be an all-new turbocharged V6 petrol unit. The next-generation engine is set to improve significantly on the power offered by the current V8, despite being a 3.0-litre unit. The new engine is likely to produce in the region of 500bhp, which would put it significantly ahead of its rivals at Mercedes and BMW. The C63 AMG S currently makes 503bhp, while the current BMW M3 has 425bhp.

The outgoing RS4 is offered only in Avant estate form, but this is set to change for the next generation. The decision to offer the performance model in a saloon version has been driven by markets such as China and the US, where there is more demand for the four-door model. The Avant will continue to be sold, and it is likely that both will be offered in the UK when the car goes on sale here.

Stando ad Autocar, la prossima RS 4 sarà anche sedan.

Se lo dice Autocar.... . In progettazione é solo Avant, ma si pensa di lanciare una piú sportiva Sedan, ma non direttamente da NSU. Anche perché ci sono altri due progetti che stanno per essere valutati molto attentamente (altri marchi), che potenzialmente si sovrapongono. Quindi cauti con i crauti. Ilsei cilindir ha due sorperesini, ma non arriva - al momento - al piacere del 8 e alle prestazioni delle potenziali concorenti. Basta pensare che la piattaforma non é ancore pronta per quelle potenze.

T!

"Interessante" che Autocar non citi la Giulia fra i competitors..o una Jag..

A questo è poco ma sicuro...mi limitavo ad osservare che nella fantasiosa ricostruzione sono riusciti ad essere pure incompleti
