local Audi dealer said it was 120K sticker

It doesn't have to be black. Of the 4 paint options, It can be (close to) body color, or carbon if you choose.

Definitely one of the best looking cars IMO.

Am I missing something here? Doesn't the RS4 already pump out 420hp?

I have been a die hard Audi fan for as long as I can remember, but one thing about them is that they are always a day too late for brunch.
When they announced they were building this car they labeled it as a "911 beater" and then they come up with this 420hp V8 thing, WTF, where is the V10 oh yeah typical Audi form wait about a year and maybe we can finish it in time. "Never follow" BS, it should be "Hey wait up".

Bajo


Edited: Oh Crap, just seen the official pics and I like the freaking thing, doesnt matter I am still mad at them.

looks good but does anyone else think that the shifter looks like a tumorous growth? A bit big compared to the rest of the interior.

saw the car testing at two days ago and snapped a few shots.

it looks very striking from the rear, but its quite awkward from other angles, with that cab forward look to it. kinda reminds me of a really mean looking frog also, the front looks too much like the new audi TT, or maybe that's just me...

i guess it remains to be seen how good it handles, since anything less than HP in the high 400's doesn't quite make it a "supercar" anymore, at least on paper...

it sounded nice enough taking off though.

Well I just hope its very light and if its going to compete it has to be.
Got to love the interior though.

The sideblade item is a bit too much, that will be axed or at least offered in matching paint in no time once the complaints pour in.

I suppose we will see a V10 shortly, that will be worth the wait perhaps.
