While the automotive world is busy with the Frankfurt Motorshow, Audi’s engineers have been busy testing what we think to be the new Audi RS4 around the Nürburgring.

With its big air intakes at the front, the wider fenders and the massive oval exhaust pipes, this beauty really stands out (even in the camouflage).

Although unconfirmed for now, we expect the engine to be the same 4.2-liter V8 found in the RS5 (331kW @ 8250rpm and 430Nm @ 4000rpm), unless Audi plays the downsizing game and gives the RS4 a twin-turbo V6?

This prototype also shows the lights and grille from the upcoming facelift that will come all over the Audi A4/S4 range.
