Audi RS4 returning in 2016

2016 Audi RS4 to return as a saloon | Autocar

The latest version of the Audi RS4 will go on sale as early as next year and will be available in saloon format once more.

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.

Hmm. A V6 petrol unit in saloon format.
I wonder if it has a big boot too?

Glad to see the RS4 will be coming back, and that they're getting rid of the 4.2. A turbo 3.0 will be a nod back to the original RS4 and hopefully have similar potential. Wish they would bring the wagon to the US though, instead of just the sedan.

Another car added to the wish list......

No wagon, no care.

The Avant is a thing of beauty……. Either way it will be amazing! @ TURK

I'm not gonna hold my breath. The RS4 has underperformed compared to the M3 for a long time, I don't expect any different this time around.

so say it does underperform, i would still take over a M. Lately i see M3's all over, much rather have the RS4 cause of its rarity and IMO it looks a hell of a lot better.
