SORRY FOR THE DELAY - seized on the fact, with a abundant camuffatura that
however suggests the forms: the debut of the new Audi A4 is provided for the end
of 2015, after which the technical director Ulrich Hackenberg has held (so at
least it says) the initial project too conservative at various points and
ordered a series of changes that have delayed the debut of a year. The new Audi
A4 will have to clearly distinguish between the A3 Sedan, not so much on the
European market, as in those where the younger sister was called "to do
numbers", China and North America on all. The platform on which the A4 will be
developed and the MLB with Evo longitudinal engines, which promises a weight
savings of about 100 kg less than the current MLB, also thanks to the use of
lighter materials.
ENGINES FOR ALL TASTES - in terms of engines, according to the rumors, would be
confirmed, the 2.0 turbo petrol (that probably will receive some horse in more
than the current 224) and the 3.0 V6 S4; the musclecar RS4 with bodywork family
should give up the V8 in favor of a V6 with dual turbo, while the diesel, at
least initially, should be current Audi, recently renovated. There will be
versions "clean", hybrid and electric, as well as those four-wheel-drive
Quattro.

other hand, there is to mention a recall of 850,000 vehicles on a worldwide
basis due to the possible malfunction of the airbags: according to Audi, it is
not a question of components manufactured by Japanese Takata who brought to
recall (here the news) of almost 8 million cars in the United States. In the
case of A4, and provided an update to the operating logic of the software: on
