Well, I am personally a big fan of both AWD (just look at my sig) and RWD with diff. However, whilst some mags clearly have their biases in one direction or another, the perceived "RWD-bias" and "BMW...

Stunning perfomer, as the std Turbo is already great given its size and weight - but sadly it is too expensive and still looks sort of fugly.
Nothing is impossible, but it seems highly unlikely that the RS4 (a low volume model) would not get the same engine as the RS5 from economic point of view. However, what Audi should focus on is the...

Dunno - I like the idea of more factory power from the M3 V8 and the...
Thx for the scans - the RS3 seems like an accessible interpretation of the RS car in the spirit of the original RS2 and RS4 MkI with updated ability, eye candy and feelgood factor :thumb:
Uhum, second that.
Great displacement engine, probably the same nice snarly soundtrack as in the sedan and I am sure it is also a great drive overall with the power pack's extra ponies and the...
Dunno, some may and some may not. I guess the mounting evidence confirms the objective truth, which is that these two cars are very close indeed as was meant to be all along - although very different...
Congrats, Youry - the car looks very sharp. Enjoy!
Nice overall!
Initial reactions:
+ That engine, the optional buckets with the red stiching and fb-steering wheel look gorgeous , decent std equipment by the looks of it, Sportback, turbo &...
Well, based on my test drive of the RS5 and long ownership of the B7 RS4, I would not go as far to say that the RS4 is the better car - it simply is not. The RS5 definately understeers less and the...
Very nice and interesting overall. But I have two related worries:
1) Any reasonable production version will be nowhere close to 1300 kg when the smaller TT RS with the same engine and lots of...
Yes, this is a good value swan song model before the all new gen 991 next year. However, based what I have seen so far, I will seriously consider getting one with PDK and Sports Chrono. It looks...
I hope Audi does the following when creating RS cars:
1) Carefully analyses what kind of character at a reasonable price can best be achieved from the basic A/S version and develops the package...
I have to agree that Porsche is overall 1-2 notches ahead of Audi (and also BMW & Merc) in terms of both performance and prestige and VW has so far not diluted this fact. Hopefully things stay this...
Guys, as much as I loved my test drive in the new RS5, this Sport Auto comp is sadly not a good showing for the RS5 on objective grounds. The RS5 does not perform badly as such in this test either,...
I was told by the sales guy who had also driven the car that this is the case, but during the test drive I myself always upshifted just before the limiter so I cannot verify this. Sorry.
Hi there Fab,
Hmm, re performance, engine characteristics and elasticity - there is both good and bad news. Still, I drove the car for only one hour so all impressions may not bear out fully when...
Very true, but this cannot seriously be a surprise to anybody - factory claims 0-200 are M3 DKG 14.9s and RS5 15.5s. The TTRS with S-tronic will probably be faster as well. So what?
No, the main...
Gents, finally had the pleasure to drive the new RS5 for an hour - small twisty roads, fast roads with bad pavement and motorway. Bottom-line: the car is good, in fact very good. The demo car was...
WOW - it looks really fantastic/the ultimate R8 then. A salute to Audi that they offer this - it will surely be sold out in no time nevermind the economic turmoil. Still, with my own money, it would...
I very much doubt that anyone of us can answer this with any real insight at this stage - my thing with the RS5 is on and off/from real interest to lukewarm feelings even before I have driven it....
This is interesting - only an ECU tweak? Why not the full-on RS5 version adapted?
If the R8 V8 will be properly FL:ed and the power upped, I am considering it as my next ride after the M3 - based...
Thx - however, having been delighted at the Autocar verdict a few posts ago, this comes as a disappointment since as a very long-standing subscriber to both Autocar and EVO I have come to highly...
Very promising - it seems that the RS5 is moving forward the game started by the RS4
Nice config - the only thing which I personally would not care for that much is the sunroof since on the A5 range it does not open properly. The door armrest in leather is a standard A5 extra, which...
