The RS4 engine is a true DTM derivative, 4 valve 4.2 power, compared to the old 5 valve 4.2. But if you look around Europe the RS4 B5 still sells for 28-40kk USD adjusted.

Now if the S4/S5 got 400+hp and the S6/S8 got 500+hp then it would make them more competitive and the utlra-limited nature of the RS cars would be more justifiable.

It helps with exclusivity of the model and brings more to the marque. Audi usually does production runs of the RS cars for 2-3 yrs.

After all, the S5 announcement came at the same time as the A5 did. Maybe they are planning a new engine for the S4? Could they will give the S4 and S5 a 380hp-420hp version of the 4.2L FSI V8 next year, once the all versions of the current RS4 have ceased production. I bet a move like that would really get the S4/S5 noticed by some potential M3 and C63 buyers. One could also argue that it would really upset current RS4 and especially S5 owners. It might, but then progress is progress, and the S4 (and S5) could really use a power bump from its current 350hp. I wonder why Audi is holding off on the S4?

It seems to me that when Audi released the current RS4 equivalent cars from MB and BMW were looking pretty dated by comparison. So Audi had a decent window in which they were manufacturing what was arguably the best car in this class. Now, having had their fun, Audi doesn't even bother going head-to-head with the new M3 and C63. I think they probably could've done OK, even well, but I can see some logic in participating in the market but not necessarily competing in it.
