Breaking News: Audi kills the RS4

Audi RS4When we saw this news on the web we said that it isn’t true and we contacted our source from Ingolstadt to tell us something that could dismiss those reports… Unfortunately there were true… Audi killed the plans for a RS4 successor due to poor sales. And this is not the only bad news: the German manufacturer also dropped the A4 and S4 convertible… It appears that these moves came because Audi wants to focus on hybrids and environmentally friendly vehicles. So, of you want a sports sedan, you will have to choose the 2010 Audi S4!

    The A4 and S4 cab being dropped isn’t a suprise because there is now an A5 and S5 cab. That was audi’s plan.

    Audi’s new S4 is only marginally slower than an M3 with a much cheaper price tag !
    Dont think this is official Audi news and wouldnt really think that the RS4 will be dead for ever.

    As regards to poor sales of the old model……….. “Who wrote this ???”……….. IT WAS ALWAYS A LIMITED production model as to protect its residual values and thats its core strength that it wasnt a run of the mill car that you could buy new at any time. It looses its exclusivity once you fall into this trap.

    Thats why we now have hoodies running round in bling bling M3′S…. NOT RS4’s.

    I rest my Case.
