Audi RS4 將不會使用渦輪增壓系統！ - BMW

from http://0rz.tw/364wW

We were very happy with the Audi RS4, weren't we? Aggro styling, those
menacing side gills, Quattro, flat-bottomed steering wheel, those Recaro
seats. And plenty more. Oh yeah, that high-revving naturally aspirated
4.2-litre V8 whose sound makes you think of a heavy metal band fronted by
Thor himself. But what next? Already a lot is being said about the next RS4,
a car we are to officially see for the first time in 2010, with European
sales beginning in 2011. The main topic is obviously the powertrain. New
7-speed double-clutch gearbox will be on offer, alongside a 6-speed manual,
in addition to a rear-wheel-biased Quattro system.

想必大家都很期待 RS4 的到來，看看現行 RS4，充滿張力的空力套件、Audi 引以為傲
的 Quattro、底部削平的三幅式方向盤、Recaro 賽車椅、當然還有更多，喔～對了，
還有引擎室裡那顆 4.2 升 V8 自然進氣引擎，咆嘯的聲浪根本就是雷神索爾親自調教
出來的，那…下一代 RS4 呢？

很多傳言指出，new RS4 將在 2010 年發表，並在 2011 年於歐洲開始販售，大家最關
心的不是售價或折扣之類的，重點還是引擎！不用多想，七速雙離合器變速箱一定有的
選配，原廠也沒忘記手排族群，還是會提供六速手排，除此之外，偏向後輪驅動的
Quattro 也會是標準配備！

Because the new S4 uses a 3.0-litre supercharged engine for its power, some
have speculated similar offerings for the RS4 as well as earlier-coming RS5.
Now Fourtitude says they are quite certain, after dinner with an Audi
executive, that RS4 will retain its current 4.2-litre but bump up power from
current 309kW levels up to even 350kW. Very possible. Yet we can’t shake off
the feeling that more is on offer, especially considering the power space
Audi has put between itself in the RS6 and the rest (M5 and E63 AMG). Why
would they only put a mere 20kW or so between themselves and the current
power-champ, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG?

由於 S4 已經用上 3.0 升機械增壓引擎，因此 RS4 和 RS5 可能共用同一顆引擎！

Fourtitude（不屬於 Audi 的獨立出版商）在和 Audi 某位執行官用完晚餐後表示，
RS4 將會沿用現行 4.2 升 V8 自然進氣引擎，馬力輸出將從 420 匹提升至大約至
475 匹（這......），為什麼不提升至 C63 AMG 那樣的動力就好呢？

One of the main drivers for the entire Audi organisation is the beating of
BMW at every level. Assuming this still holds true, we just cannot see Audi
turbo-charging an RS4 again before M turbocharges an M3.

如果傳言成真，就看不到掛上渦輪的 Audi RS4 和 BMW M3 對打了。
