Its not a TT, and the SLK is and won't be 4 wheel drive.

Clue no.4. It comes with 344 horses as std but mine will have 420:D :D

Edo

just to clarify, 4 wheel drive, convertible, not a TT, not an SLK (obvioulsy), not a porsche...

hmm. give me 5 mins....

18ME

Tic, toc, tic, toc, tic, toc

Edo

Ok smart ****! No bleedin idea. Is this a new car on sale now? More clues please.

Edo

Hang on! New S4 Convertible?

18ME

I'll open the bottle of champagne now then:D

Edo

We'll just call you VAG Boy from now on!
Have they set a price for that yet?

RobDickinson

Nooo, realy? An S4 convertable? Vag tat , albeit a V8 Vag.

Sure it'll be quick, but weigh a ton, I bet it isnt anywhere near as fun to drive as the RX-8. Nevermind, its "the most practical all year round convertable" because of its 4WD

Contigo

Hrm S4 convertible, i'm gonna order one of them too!!!

Must be like £40k?

Contigo

Oh and 18me have you seen the RX8 convertible? That surely is a contender?

18ME

Vag boy, Vag tat!! you're all mad:p

I'm only ordering the cab because I was going to change my tdi avant to S4 avant after I drove my local dealers 420bhp AmD'd S4 avant last week but then thought I still want a fairly regular everyday car, so I've decided to keep the tdi and have the cab instead of the RX8 ready for next summer. I'm just hoping that cab will stand the 420 conversion that I'm having.

The price hasn't been set yet but the dealers reckon it to be around £40k + conversion + extras.

Will be a safe bet for residuals though. Better than the saloon or avant which is what really swayed it for me. Lets hope I don't lose too much on the RX8 then.:D

Edo

At the risk of this thread having lost the plot completely - I like the A4 cab - think it is a nice looking car. What does make me laugh though is the Quattro version with only 150bhp - how pointless!

18ME

They don't do a 150bhp quattro cab, but they do, do the saloon and avant with that but it has now been upped to 190bhp I believe. The new 150 TT has 2 wheel drive as what you guite rightly said doesn't need the 4 wheel drive.

If that makes you laugh, my A4 quattro is a 130bhp diesel but now gladly putting out 190bhp with nearly 300ft lbs of torque, not got a clue what that is in Nm's.

18ME - Face it - you are going to fall in love with the RX8 and cancel the Audi!!! Well - we have to all believe that at this stage

How about an Owners Club deal on you rather nice kitchen knives (then I promise not to make any rude remarks about Audis ever again)

Contigo

What did you do to up the horses? Chip?

AnilS

18ME, too tease. As you have just rid yourself of the lovely R32, could it be the new R36 convertible ?

I would love to think that I'll fall in love with the RX8 (I'll find out tomorrow) but I have driven the 420bhp S4, and it's niiiice.

I don't like to force sales on people, thats why I have'nt mentioned it before, but I would be willing to offer some sort of deal to RX8 owners on the products that we sell......Any suggestions?

I could offer a set discount off our internet sales but we have featured quite a few deals on their that is cut to the bone like "Global Knives" so a set discount wouldn't work but if anyone wanted to have a look around the site "Kitchenalia" and then ask if we could do anything off the product that interested them, then I would be more than happy to do something.

18ME

This is the quote from AmD's site.

Stage 3 Over 400+bhp from our custom remap, Milltek Sports cats, Milltek cat back exhaust system.

18ME

I've heard that VW may push the size to 3.6 on the next hot MkV platform. Would be interesting if they did do a contertible but I doubt it because of the Audi S4 Cab, due my may sometime before next summer.

BTW did you get the PM I sent you yesterday or the day before?

Cheers

Edo

The 1.8T quattro A4 is 162bhp - I stand corrected..... awsome - how will the haldex cope!

18ME

Not anymore, they are 190bhp now, but only 177ft lbs of torque.
