Audi RS4 GT2 ALMS Car

Came across this today. No idea of the spec, but considering it's (probably) factory and designed to compete against some Very Fast Porsches you can bet it's going to be fairly trick ...



Link to the Audi RS4 GT2 article.

Certainly looks the part too

for a gt racer that is sitting very high up? there's no front splitter or anything. Looks great but i wonder if that is anything other than some kind of promo car. See this BWM E46 in GT2 spec...http%3A//www.flickr.com/photos/cwoolman/293577440/

Quite, the wheels are too small for big brakes IMO and its stance is all wrong...

[s2driveruk]

yup, remember whn i worked with volvo, the 20inchers were right up in the wings at the front, thats definately a road car dressed in racing clothes

Blimey I see what you mean now ... comparing it to that GT2 E46 M3 it looks like nothing more than a road car with a cage, a wing, and some fancy wheels! The lack of race numbers is a bit of a hint too ...

Perhaps just a promotional car?

Pace car?

I used to loved the RS4 but ive gone right off it. For 1 no turbos is a big put off, and for 2 every tom **** and harry knows what it is. Its become too popular, and i probably see 3 of them per day. How many rs2's rs6's do you see per day?

@Ski, I know what you mean, the RS4s are everywhere at the moment. I saw a V10 S6 Avant the other day, now that's a darned interesting car... This particular one had 2 child seats in the back too!

i drove one last year, sounds great, well spec'd, great brakes but bone shaker ride - typical new audi. I reckon if you put 18's on it then it would ease up well

[Briggsy]

that looks more like an rs4 dressed in DTM guise. just my 2p.

in the era of supertouring cars, this one sounded awesome. Was awesome working for Ericsson with TWR for a seaon on the datalogging for Rydell & Radermaker's cars.

Here's a clip of the S40 testing, that 5cyl sounds swweeeeeet

the 5 pot volvos do sound nice....i used to work for nissan motorsport painting the primera race cars back in the day when they dominated the btcc for a fair while,the a4 quattros certainly shook things up...
