20XX Audi R4

Es precioso pero, se atreverán a hacerlo? Es rentable en los tiempos que corren hacer tanto deportivo estilo R8 si cada vez se mira más el tema de la contaminación y demas? A mi me parece que no y por eso creo que con el R8 se bastan y sobran.

Es precioso, pero solo espero que lo alguien más del TT, por que es descarao. El frontal es tremendo, simplemente genial.

No entendi esa parte.  :eing:

Supongo que quería decir «que lo diferencien algo más del TT», no?

Audi denies R4 plans

[i]Despite numerous reports claiming Audi’s new Cayman-rival is in development, senior officials have confirmed there is no ‘baby’ R8, or R4 as most sources have been calling it, currently in the works. However, before we rule the new model, remember that carmakers are well known for their tenacity in denying the existence of products until as late as possible.

Considering its closest competitors would have been the aforementioned TT and the Cayman/Boxster from Porsche, which of late has been having a much more influential role in the affairs of Audi and its parent company VW, it’s not surprising officials have decided against developing the car.[/i]

Que no habia algo que confirmaba el R4 y hasta un A7 Cabrio???…

Pero ahora es Porsche la que manda y donde manda patrón no lo hace el marinero.

ME horroriza!!! que susto me he llevado…

No estoy seguro de me gustar la forma como está hecho, pero me gusta mucho la idea! 🙂 Es diferente pero se reconoce imediatamente como un Audi!

  Me gusta ese frontal, pero a la vez lo veo raro, me causa una cierta confusión entre ser agradable y feo…

bonito frontal, y ya tocaba.
por cierto, seguro que ya lo habeis hablado cien veces; pero lo que no veo claro es si existe hueco para el entre el tt y el r8.
sospecho que si….

este último es horrible, no me gusta la idea.

Audi’s baby R8 ready to roll
German firm is readying a little brother to its world-beating supercar.

Sports car fans are in for a real treat! Audi is planning a striking new mid-engined machine – the R4. The newcomer will be based on an entirely new platform and sit above the TT in Audi’s range, offering buyers a driver-focused two-seater with a starting price of around £35,000.

It’s the result of a rumoured joint venture with Porsche – so the project will produce a new platform to underpin Coupé and Roadster versions of the R4, and also provide the basis for the next Boxster and Cayman. It’s these core sellers in the Porsche line-up that the R4 will target.

Our exclusive picture shows that the new Audi takes much of its visual inspiration from the R8 supercar, with LED lights, deep air intakes and a sweeping profile. But this similarity is no coincidence. The Porsche joint venture is all part of Audi’s plan to launch a range of R-badged sports cars, which will follow in the wake of the range-topper.

These will include an R6 to rival Jaguar’s new E-Type replacement and the Porsche 911, plus an R10 model based on the V12 TDI R8 diesel concept. Of course, it’s not only Audi which will benefit. Porsche will be able to share Audi’s engines and reduce the costs associated with developing a new platform.

The upmarket sports car firm is keen to ensure it maintains its healthy profitability – a factor that has enabled it to take a majority share in Volkswagen – particularly in the current financial climate. While the two firms will work together to produce the new platform, the R4 and the next-generation Boxster/Cayman will be very different models. Keen to retain the DNA that’s made the TT and R8 so successful, bosses will give the Audi a body made from aluminium panels. It also gets quattro four-wheel drive with torque split 40:60 in favour of the rear wheels.

In addition, the newcomer benefits from adaptive magnetic dampers and Audi’s Drive Select system. The latter allows the driver to switch between several modes which tweak steering and throttle response. Power will come from the firm’s range of TFSI engines, with the entry-level model most likely to get a highly tuned 2.0-litre turbo. The new 335bhp 2.5-litre five-cylinder super and turbocharged unit lined up for the flagship TT RS will be available, too. There’s even the possibility that the R4 will be offered with a high-performance diesel and a petrol V6.

As for gearboxes, a six-speed manual transmission will be standard, with a seven-ratio S tronic twin-clutch semi-auto as an option. The R4 is some way off reaching showrooms, though. There are still plenty of loose ends to tie up with the mooted joint venture, and it remains to be seen which company will launch the new platform first. Considering Porsche’s increasing control of the VW Group, it may be that it gets to call the shots. If that’s the case, the R4 could arrive in around 2011, shortly after the Boxster and Cayman.

R10 is go, too

* Diesel R8 was revealed earlier this year. It will be badged R10 and fitted with a V12 TDI unit offering around 500bhp.

* Returning 25mpg and meeting Euro VI emissions regulations, the 190mph R10 will be an amazing all-rounder.

* Styling cues such as the huge air intakes at the rear and the glass roof could be carried over to its R4 baby brother.
