Breaking news: The Audi RS5 brochure!

[MPT]

I didn't know that.. Why i posted it was really because i read something about the intake. There has been a lot of arguing about the intake going on, so i thought i perhaps could enlighten. I have a hard time thinking Audi would make a mistake with something as simple as the intake, when they already know about the issue with the RS4. Does the R8 V8/V10 also have this problem? Does DRC problems occur on the new models (such as RS6 ?).

Anyways, i will be ordering an RS5 Coupé as a replacement for my 2008 Audi S5 Coupé. Looking very much forward to june, when it's supposed to hit Denmark. Does anybody know when delivery starts? I would love it if i could take it on summer holidays in july..

A good post. A true RS fan, he is ordering the RS5 but raises questions a lot of people have.

Is that video dull, or super dull?

SUPER dull, the car looks downright ponderous in the turns.

Well, feel free to post a more 'interesting' one then. Unless I'm mistaken, that's the first video showing moving footage of an actual production RS5. It's been posted on a rival forum, and as this is supposed to be THE forum for RS enthusiasts I thought I'd share it for the benefit of everyone here. OK so it's not being driven spiritedly, but there's no tacky music or daft commentary detracting from the noise of the car.

Eh? It's a PR video! What do you expect to see - the car sliding sideways round a corner in a cloud of squealing tyre smoke?! There is absolutely no way you can determine anything about this car's dynamics or handling abilities from watching this video, but hey - don't let that fact get in the way of your incessant negativity.

Thank you for posting the video, really appreciate that.

But hope you don't mind I have an opinion on the video itself. If BMW were making a video of the RS5, they could not have done a better job - that's my opinion. I am an RS fan.

Please keep the comments to the car, the Audi RS5 unless you want your posts deleted.

Thanks!

I agree. What happened?

But the weather in Rhonda was the same when I was there. What happened to the sunshine in southern Spain?

I have seen other non official clips that really impressed me. So cannot understand this. And mark my comment was on the video, not on the car. I am expecting this RS to be the best.

Thanks for the video.

Though the video itself was nothing special, it was nice to listen to the RS5's engine sound and also to see the Quattro in there.

The RS5 video is only dull. Super Dull is the A1 e-tron concept. I guess Audi has decided to pander to the lowest common denominator. Audi declared itself the sporty, performance brand yet even Mercedes has gained the upper hand with an ever evolving AMG line-up.
