Normally aspirated, sure... but where's the turbo? When?
I understand Audi's plan to make the "S" models normally aspirated, then add turbo power to the "RS" engines. I am in the market for an avant. I would like the car to be reliable, reasonably fuel efficient... most of all, rediculously fast. My question is, should I wait and see if they bring the RS to the states this time, or go ahead and rock the S4? Has anyone heard any rumors about the release of an RS version yet? Am I a too greedy to talk RS4 this early?

New RS4 due out one year after new S4
Engine will either be a twin turbo 3L V6 or a twin turbo 3.2L VR6 due to the fact that a twin turbo V8 will not fit in the engine bay. The associated hardware, plumbing, etc. required for the twin turbos to operate and run reliably make a twin turbo version of the new S4's 4.2L V8 too large and space inefficient for the engine bay of the new RS4.
