425ps or 318 KW which is a bit, but is it enough up on the reef, given the Audi's don't breath as well as the Bm's we may be under threat from the new M3

If so, on the assumption of 16% losses, you're looking at 267 kW. Might be enough to challenge an E46 M3, which looses only 7 or 8% up here, but not the next, 2006 3 series M3.
On the other hand the (AB2) S3 with 242 kW looks very interesting!!! Even if it is normally aspirated, at our altitude with 16% losses that's 203 KW, 38 KW more than the current (AB) S3, plus the vastly superior chassis.... It's going to be fun

Yes I'm afraid the new RS4 will be NA, sad...
Having said that, interestingly they are getting a fair amount of extra power fromt the V8 so there might be hope, although I think the new V8 for the RS4 will be FSI, can someone confirm?

The next RS4 will normally aspirated and so will the next RS6, this is from Rudi Venter (ex Topcar) who now works for Audi SA and who was at Auto Africa today and I spoke to him about this, in fact he said the RS4 for SA will be 309Kw. I think The RS3 will be a 3.2 turbo, but the S3 will be a uprated 3.2 FSI. Could be wrong based on the power output mentioned above.
He confirmed that Audi are moving away from turbo charging.
