Default Possible RS4+ ????????

There is post started by RXBG stating that there will be a release of a RS4+ in a couple of months. I wonder if these upgrades/car will be available in the US. This will seriously hurt the resale of our cars if this is so. I think it is too soon to realease this model if it is true.<ul><li><a href="http://www2.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10032">RS6.com</a></li></ul>

We probably won't see one in the US, at least I hope not.

Default RS6 Plus wasn't all that special compared to the RS6...

and I would suspect that every upgrade will be bolt-on and available from Europe.

Cheers,

Default 30bhp more, better torque curve, it was done by ECU remapping...

and other little doo-dads were added. I would hate to see Audi yank 30-50 more bhp out of the RS4 motor, might be pushing it a bit, but who knows, maybe the motor can take it

Default Highly doubt it would ever come here...

From what I know the AoA budget for the RS4 is set in rapidly hardening plaster. There will be some changes in '08, but certifing an addtional model for resale is not one of them.

Default IMHO: at the end of the B7 production run, probably euro only, avant only

as the sedan body style is first to be redesigned.
