Audi R4's future 'undecided'

The future of the Audi R4, a Boxster-sized mid-engined sports car, currently hangs in the balance as Audi and Volkswagen decide whether steel or alloy body construction is the way forward for the all-new model.




The final stamp of approval for the R4 rests with parent company Volkswagen, according to high-ranking Audi insiders in Ingolstadt.



They say production feasibility studies are yet to determine whether a pressed steel or alloy spaceframe chassis is the better option. The e-tron concept car was based, like the R8, around an alloy spaceframe.



Engineers involved in the studies have told Autocar that lines have been drawn between the cheap-to-produce yet relatively heavy monocoque or the more expensive but lightweight aluminium structure.



One source told us: “The reaction to the e-tron concept has been overwhelming.



"We’re weighing up all of the options and possibilities. There’s no real time pressure because we’re not replacing an existing model but establishing a new one.”



Volkswagen’s involvement in the R4 programme stems from its own plans to use the same platform to create an even more affordable mid-engined coupĂ©/roadster along the lines of its BlueSport concept, which was unveiled at the 2009 Detroit motor show.



In a production strategy similar to that of the Volkswagen Polo/Audi A1 and Volkswagen Golf/Audi A3, the two car makers plan to create two distinctly different cars using a common mid-engine/rear-wheel drive structure.



A final green light for the new platform also hinges on a decision from Porsche, which is studying proposals to create a new entry-level model positioned underneath the Boxster and using the same underpinnings.



"Scale is important to a project like this,” an Audi source told Autocar. “But with three different car makers working to a common goal, the chances [of it getting the go-ahead] look good.”



Although the Audi e-tron concept car was revealed with an all-electric driveline, the production version of the R4 is planned to come with the choice of turbocharged 1.4–litre and 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engines as well as a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine.

Audi R15 wins race debut

E88729WZ7KUT The new improved Audi R15 TDI won its race debut at the Le Castellet in France last week with the pairing of Dindo Capella and Allan McNish. The improved diesel racing sports car ran the entire distance without the smallest problem during the test race.




During the opening lap of the eight-hour race, Allan McNish overtook the Peugeot, which had started from pole position in the hands of Frenchman Stephane Sarrazin and on the third lap the Lola-Aston Martin of Stefan Mucke. From then on Allan McNish and teammate Dindo Capello did not relinquish the lead.



After 266 laps, the two Audi drivers held a five-lap lead from the Lola-Aston Martin of defending champion Stefan Mucke, Harold Primat and Adrian Fernandez.



The Oreca team Peugeot finished fourth after succumbing to a technical problem during the opening stages of the race.



The only unscheduled pit stop was made just seven minutes before the end of the race, when Audi Sport Team Joest switched to rain tires for safety reasons as rain began to fall.

New Audi RS4

Might this be the look of the all new Audi RS4?or just a concept modell?
Only time will tell,but not to be stressed as Audi has always produced and in the past few years have moved up to THE top off the line cars on the market,setting the benchmark for all other car companies out there.
All we now about the new RS4 is it will still be the same old monster.
Not sure yet but it will probably keep the V8 engine but may have a few extras,either way Audi will not fail to make this the no1 sports saloon in its class
