S and RS models, along with Audi R8 are assembled by Quattro GMBH in Germany. They are going to remain exclusive, almost hand-built, even if the garden variety Audis are manufactured in China.
At least I hope so. Otherwise I'll have to switch to Hyundai.
Nope. The writing is on the wall. The S line is not slated to be done GMBH, as it is now competing with the likes of the 335i instead of the M3.. As such, I read china all over this… though a supercharger+turbo combo would pose an interesting combo…Oh what am I talking about, it's a VAG product. It will break the minute you drive it off the lot.
Bearing the 3.0T or TFSI badge, the 2010 S4 could benefit from "twin-charging" with the possible inclusion of a turbo in addition to the supercharger.The S4 is also expected to be developed outside Quattro GmbH, while the RS4 would be created by the Audi performance division, giving the former a more restrained look compared to the all-out bulging bodywork of the latter. The forced-induction V6 is also tipped to replace the 3.2-liter V6 in the base Audi A6 Quattro.
Got Hyundai? Seriously though. Hyundai's looking pretty good these days.
