OMG new Audi RS4 420hp naturally aspirated V-8!

Highlights:
high engine speed concept now being introduced for the first time in a production Audi, innovative FSI technology, as well as the latest generation of quattro drive with asymmetric/dynamic distribution of torque. Developing a maximum output of 420 bhp, the V8 revs up to a speed of 8250 rpm. With its displacement of 4163 cc, this outstanding engine exceeds the magical barrier of 100 bhp per litre truly outstanding in a production saloon. Maximum torque of 430 Nm comes at 5500 rpm in this very compact engine, with 90 per cent of the engine’s torque consistently available between 2250 and 7600 rpm.
0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.8 seconds and reaching 200 km/h in 16.6 seconds!
(Audi's figures are always conservative)
optimised the car’s power-to-weight ratio... resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of just 3.93 kilos per bhp
the latest generation of Audi’s permanent four-wheel drive featured for the first time in the RS 4 offers asymmetric/dynamic torque distribution (Look for 40/60 rear-wheel biased distribution) and a self-locking Torsen centre differential, making a significant contribution in enabling the RS 4 with its sports suspension to enter new dimensions in driving dynamics. Indeed, Audi quattro technology still provides traction when other drive concepts have long reached their limits. And in this case quattro drive is further enhanced by Audi’s DRC Dynamic Ride Control, significantly reducing both body roll and dive.

That thing kicks some serious ___, but the new grill design that Audi is using across their line up is absolutely hideous!
Every line on the car is good except the grill. Yikes and double yikes.
But that thign is the physical representation of the heat. No doubt.

..... I wish I could afford something like that.....

With the NA V8, I don't even know how it can still be in the S4 family.
My friend here has a 2000 S4 with the TC V6. At 250 HP, it kept up with the Lexus IS300 pretty well. This monster is something TOTALLY different. I guess that "R" means something in the language of Audi.

Hawt! I almost bought an Audi A4 3.0 from a friend instead of my box, but chose not to due to maintenance and reliability issues.
Unfortunately, I doubt that thing will his the U.S., not with those kind of numbers at least. Everything's gotta be toned-down in order to get over here

Obviously you haven't heard the offerings from Germany, from the 500hp M5 to the mercedes SL65/S65/CL65 with over 700 lbs of torque!
