APR,Unitronic,Neuspeed, GIAC will probably release something sooner or later

if tuners can squeez out mad juice with the new B8 S4/S5 engine, it will be a very good competition for our N54.. looks like it will be real fun real soon with the tuning crowd for both cars.

if they had make the S5 smaller, lighter, and not handle like a boat, i would seriously consider an S5 with th eB8 engine.

Now Audi needs to redo the A3 as the B8 became a boat and slap the 3.0T(s4 version not the a6) engine in it and call it the RS3.
Oh yeah and I forgot they should put a torsen differential and get rid of the Haldex-FWD biased BS.

I can't even believe those gains!!!

MTM is always super expensive... There is no doubt in my mind that GIAC and APR will be able to replicate any numbers that MTM produces.

And to think that the S5 will get this engine. Sacrificing V8 sound for this performance sounds fine with me!

All the reports from the German mags have the new S4 faster than the 335 in both acceleration and track times. I hear they are putting that new SC V6 in the S5 also. If they do that, and these cars easily trap 112 or so modded, I'm sold.

The SCV6 goes into the S5 cabriolet first this fall and then a year later into the S5 coupe. Not sure why the delay though.

This is interesting and it'll be good to see what APR and GIAC create at a much lower price.

I hope that they lower the price and sell it for about 55K (B8 S4 53K cdn)
The S5 is not special (it's no Quattro Gmbh car)
I'd save 14K and have an extra 2 door

Honestly it's a downgrade from the 4.2 Version(aural pleasure)
I hope that it will look something like this in terms of pricing:
55K S5
80k RS5
