No. The RS line from Audi's subsidiary has always bumped the power on their existing products. The S4 is comparable to the the M3's and the RS line is further higher up the corporate chain.

Not a turboed 8, just a plain 8, which i think is a mistake because the great thing about the s4 is that one can modify it so much! I would like audi would increase the displacement of the engine to like 3.2L or 3.0L and keep the turbos

it would pass with a little tweaking but there isn't a market here in the U.S. Besides the hardcore fanatics like us most people are all caught up in the "turbo!" ewwwww. People are dumb. Europe/Japan/Austrialia gets all the cool shit man!
