Future models - Audi - A4 - RS4 sedanRS4 and S8 make Oz debutAudi gives its bahstorming 313kW RS4 and 331kW S8 their Oz debuts in Melbourne17 Feb 2006 By CHRIS HARRIS AUDI’S main acts at last week's Melbourne motor show came in the form of the S8 and RS4 high-performance sports cars. To be priced from a cool $250,000 when it arrives here in November, the S8 features a 5.2-litre FSI V10 engine derived from the Lamborghini Gallardo. It can output 331kW at 7000rpm and 540Nm from 35000rpm, and combined with the standard six-speed Tiptronic automatic can propel the AWD aluminium-chassis sedan to 100 km/h in a claimed 5.1 seconds. The RS4 quattro is no slouch either. On sale in April priced from around $170,000, the hot A4 uses a 4.2-litre V8 engine that develops 313kW and 430Nm – and can send the car to 100 clicks in 4.8 seconds. Assisting the cause are additional air intakes up front, massive twin-exhausts and 30mm-lower sports suspension with 18-inch high-performance brakes. The seven-seat Q7 4WD was again shown ahead of its September launch.
