New Audi RS4
New AUDI RS4 will ditch V8 in favor of TT V6. Thoughts?

Seems like all the car companies got together for a meeting and decided that the new standard is 6cyl FI.
I swear the last time this happened was before my time (70's) during the American Muscle days. Kinda sucks because I feel like nothing is "special" anymore. Meh....*sigh* |

They need to put that 4.0l V8tt from the S6 in the new RS4/RS5!!
But I'm sure whatever boosted engine they put in, it's gonna be easily tunable! But that V8 from the S6 makes 560hp/600lb-ft with just a tune, that would be a insane for an M3/M4 rival!! |

Still, the S65 is, subjectively, a more enjoyable motor.

i feel that most companies are making a push for more efficient engines. i get the need for Forced induction. but i hate the fact that they are down sizing the motors and cutting cylinders. but still from a business stand point it makes sense. where you have American companies who are keeping true to big powerful v8s. but doing so with modern technology to make the just fuel efficient as a little 3.0l turbo I6 BMW engine. i bet that new 6.2L s/c GM V8 600HP+ (Z06) will match a M4 in MPG. |

I know this is off topic.. but I still think BMW should have made a lighter and more efficient version of the current E9x engine for the M3/4. Maybe a 3.8L NA V8 with a small power and torque bump and then shed some bodyweight and call it a day!
Or even just detune the V8 in the M5/6.. I love me some 8 cylinders |

those ford 5.0L GT mustangs get better MPG than a BMW 4.0L V8. hell a Z06 7L gets better than both engines. the S65 being small and a high strung motor is actually what hurts MPG. the S65 is a small motor that works hard for its power. a Z06 is a big motor car that works very little for its power. if that makes sense i bet that new Z06 with a 6.2L S/C V8 600Hp+ will match a M4`s MPG. |
