RS 4 Avant Spied in Germany

It’s no secret that Audi AG planned to build an Avant version of the RS 4. The sedan bowed almost a year ago at the March 2004 Geneva Auto Show, but other than a leaked Minichamps 1:43 scale model for sale a few months back on Ebay’s Chinese site, there’s been no mention of the RS 4 Avant.

This morning, a German RS-car enthusiast hit the jackpot while in traffic in the German town of Chemnitz. A red RS 4 Avant appeared in traffic. Fortunately for those other RS-fanatics who will have to live vicariously through him, he had his camera and was able to snap off a few shots of it before it disappeared.

ドイツで New RS4 Avant が捕捉された模様。セダンは発表済ですがAvantがまだだったので。しかし RSシリーズといえばAvantの専売特許だったのになぁ。(ぼそ)
ま、ご多分に漏れず ぶっといタイヤと張り出したフェンダー、アルミドアミラー、でかでか楕円マフラー左右２本だしは健在です。写真では見えないですがセダンにあったようにサメエラもあるはずです。

ほう、３台同時ですか。この安全性だけでは売れなのが難しいところですね。
今度はもう少し頑張って頂き、同じ安全性でも軽く、安くできませんかね。(^^ゞ
