My S6 lease is up in a year. Curious if the timing will work out. If not, does Audi extend leases? I don't think there is anything else in the Audi lineup that would be of interest.

The reports I have seen seems to indicate B9 S4 in summer/fall of 2016, RS4 maybe summer/fall 2017 (MY18 model) in the US. I wish it was sooner.

You can buy your car once the lease is up too, you most likely will have some equity in it anyway. Then you can keep it as long as you want until the car comes out.

Nice to see an update and they suggest there is still a chance the Avant could come to the US.

Yes, looking good.

This car has been fitted with a roll-cage, and is outside the Audi AG facility in Rudolf-Diesel-Strasse in Meuspath. This is a cool street, because most of the buildings contain serious motor racing companies.

It is just up the road from the Nürburgring.

So looks like the new V6 TT is off the development dyno and heading for the track

Further to the above, looks like the RS4 was on its way back from the Ring:


They need to work on the exhaust - sounds pretty muted compared to the B8 RS4, and compared to the new TTRS that was just ahead of it on the track. Handling looks great though, sitting flatter through that sweeper than the TTRS.

Will the RS4 actually make it to the states? If so will it only be an RS4 Avant?

I have not heard anything that would suggest that they are developing a sedan version.

However, given Audi are developing an RS3 sedan specifically for the NA market, there is some chance that they may offer a B9 platform RS model beyond the RS5 coupe in NA. Whether that is a 4 sedan or a 5 Sportback, who knows?
