Sounds like the S4 will feature a torque vectoring diff, and in turn will open the door for DSG. This should be a very cool car with some very interesting technologies.
No manual trans for the Quattro in either sedan or wagon?!

That's not going to go over very well.
Autoblog misspoke by calling it a 1/4 time. It's just the 0-200kph time as stated in both links.
I think you put to much stock in the term "tech expert". A tech expert is like a linguistics expert. You may know enough to warrant the label, but it in no way does that imply you could possibly know everything.

Sure, you end up singling out one guy, but come on, show some professionalism.

Besides, didn't anyone ever teach you about throwing stones from a glass house? I bet if I looked, I would surely find some inaccuracies here on HDBeat.

Seems like a pretty amateurish post from a site that would like to be taken seriously.
I think the "six produced" maybe somewhat of a red herring. I'm certainly no Ferrari expert, but I can't find anything with a run of six that looks like this.

I blew up a screen capture of the photo the gentleman is holding, and to me it looks like a 60's P racer. Maybe a 330 p4 or a 412p.

From what I can tell from the picture, the car has low, enclosed headlights. It also has a very low, relatively small, elongated oval front grill, with a vertical splitter right down the center. It seems to have winglets at the ends of the front splitter too.

It also doesn't appear to have a road car like cockpit. More like a bubble like enclosure..

These things all point to those fantastic Ferrari sportcars from the late 60's. Of course there is no numbering on this car, but I assume prospective buyers would get their choice. ;-)

Just a quick guess, after looking into it for a few minutes.
What time is it?
Time to unpimp za auto.
Oh, snap!
German engineering no longer in haus, da.

The wing is a mandate from Sir Isaac Newton.
380Nm is 280 lb/ft, not 184 lb/ft as mentioned.
You should go Pre-N, with Belkin's lineup, for example.
Whoops, $50,990 is what I meant to write.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
