B5 4.2 V8

[rasA4]

as i do not want to highjack Siena's great threat on his project RS4 sedan. i was interested in the 4.2 V8 pic he had on his thread, i have managed to find the other pictures here they are

Hmm thats looks like an interesting hybrid of a B5 also liking the fact in the top pic it looks RWD.... Now that is high on my wish list of B5 mods

Is it not using quattro? the badge is on the grill

You'd need to be able to go fast if your car looked that ugly. Talk about a bad plastic surgery job; that front end looks terrible.

 

[Siena]

Yes, that front end is rough.

 

[PaulJC84]

Nice find, that grille does not suit at all!!

Makes it look like a Chinese replica.

 

[AndyMac]

Looks like a Lexus with an Audi grille

 

[macca]

you'd think after all that work cosworth engineering would atleast put the tail pipes on straight.

I must say, i do like the new RS4 in white.

There's an RS4 avant near me with black wheels and it looks the nuts.

Why spends so much and let it all down with a nasty grill and wonky exhaust. Bet it goes well though.

 

[Road Razor]

The front grill reminded me of a photoshops preview I saw a while ago on what the new B6's front might look like (before it was launched). The only difference being I reckon the photoshopped version looked better.

I wonder what performance figures she gives.

 

[Siena]

I guess it wasn't meant to look pretty - the car must have been dismantled after they'd run their tests.

Just purely for R&D.

 

[Siena]

These are the DVLA details held for that car are:

The details for S4 CTL are:

Date of Liability: 01:03:2001
Date of First registration: 23:03:2000
Year of Manufacture: 1998
Cylinder Capacity (cc): 2,671cc
CO2 Emissions: Not Available
Fuel Type: Petrol
Export Marker: Not Aplicable
Vehicle Status: Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour: White​

 

[Siena]

So, it was on the road for just a year. Didn't sell till 2 years after manufacture either.

 

[Blue_Thunder]

And it was registered with the wrong engine size... Bad Audi!

 

[Siena]

It was probably registered way before the conversion. Bear in mind, a new car is usually supplied with a year's road tax.

Though, if the car was tested in a private facility, and dismantled shortly after, it wouldn't have needed to have the new engine details ammended.

I seem to remember seeing those pictures or similar in Auto Express years ago with a strapline along the lines of "S4 to get V8 power to beat M3"...

...maybe

looks like they needed the nose job to get the engine to fit?

pretty ugly, but i bet it can shift!
