looking very hot. can't wait to see the specs. somehow i don't believe it'l be the exact same engine as the RS4.

help me mamy help me...RS5 and RS6 in the same place...dammn both looks hot and the engines...wow, very very impressive stuff indeed!RS5 i think will have more power than the RS4 (as i heard 450-480HP) and RS6 will have 580HP and there will be even a higher RS6 Plus 630HP (aproximately)...that means the power range between those 2 versions it will be bigger than RS6 C5 and RS6 Plus C5 (50HP plus for the new RS6 Plus)...that's mean...and i found out another thing...that the new R8 V10 will have the normal aspirated engine from the new RS6 without the turbo's...that's super hot...100HP/L, 0-62 in 4s (factory) ....it will be also a monster:)

That S5 type car looks so good, but what makes us so sure its a prototype RS5 ? Couldnt it just be an S5 at the ring ? I cant read German so dont understand the article that goes with it, so i dont know what their saying is different between this spy car and the standard S5. Its a very nice colour though, not one you see on Audi's much.
The rims look good to !

If SuperDriver is correct and the RS5 is due for launch Mid '08 then I would have thought the development would be a lot more advanced than what these photos show. Think about it, here's a RS5 it's still using the S5 exhaust system, heck the RS6 from months ago was using the correct exhaust.

I personally reckon this is a S5 testing the new MagneticRide suspension system for the A5 range.

i realise that something is strange in those pics from RS5 but definitively it's an RS5 not an S5 and guys don't you know about that the head of exausts from S and RS versions slightly have the same diameter in exausting the carbon dioxid off the car?!It only looks diferrent 4 pipes against 2 gigger pipes, but the air pushed in those evacuation is the same!For me my ideea is that Audi is testing and RS5 with the head of evacutiaon from the S5 to not speculate more and more before the introduction and presentation to the market and are hidding the differences between S5 and RS5 with the exaust, is simple to believe that and i think it's an RS5!

I think that it is not RS4, more over it is strange version of S4

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2348/a5compareem3.th.jpg (http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=a5compareem3.jpg)

Look at thet picture, some strange things that there is no headlight washers on the bumper, mirrors are painted - not aluminium, can't see the LEDs, foglight grill is different. Backside is 100% the same

ZeroCool
June 23rd, 2007, 04:40
No Headlight washers --> could be an A5 without Xenon
no LED's --> also i think when you don't have Xenon you won't have LED's?!
mirrors are painted --> you can order that also for an A5
foglight grill --> i can't see the foglight grill really good on the red one

i think that's exactly the same car...just without xenon and in another color ;)

the foglight grill had the 'RS' motive!

+44 Dave
June 23rd, 2007, 19:12
Looking at these images again i now realise that the orange model here has a honey comb grill surrounding the lower fog lights and air intakes and this is a feature of the RS models, so this could well be the RS5. Its only the top sports models from the VAG group that get that grill, such as GTI Golf RS4 ect, so it could well be the RS5.

Arslanoff
June 23rd, 2007, 21:23
It is true about the grill, but everything else looks strange. By the way, do you recognize this?

Thats right, so the same idea.

Leadfoot

If you check out the standard A5 you will see the honeycomb design which isn't present in the S5. Maybe what we are seeing here is a S-Line A5 front end with a S5 rear end.

What does this all mean. F#ck knows.:brag:

ok, i apologise for my mistake ;) but this proves that we can be quite sure that the S5 we're seeing is nog a 'normal' S5
(stupid question, but isn't it like that that de Golf GTI with DSG has a 'closed' honey cumb grill, like this one, and the manual version has a 'open' honey cumb grill, like on the RS4?)

MPT
June 24th, 2007, 17:45
All GTI's have an open air intake, hence they have an intercooler.

I think this is just an S5 testing something like suspension, brakes etc. for an upcoming model (not necessarily the RS5).

The "missing" head light washers and LEDS comes with the xenon option btw.

I could be wrong on this but to the best of my knowledge the S5 has LED daylights and also has Xenon headlights as standard. Can someone check if I am correct on this. :0:

Anyway back to topic, has anyone heard this S5 lookalike running back anyone with a bit of knowledge will be able to tell the difference between the exhaust note of a S4 and the RS4, so one can only assume that the same will be true of the S5 and RS5, don't you think. ;)

Like I said, my guts says it testing some option that is currently not available to order on the A5 range, be it suspension, brakes or possibly transmission.

In some countries S5 comes with xenon stock, in some countries it doesn't. Anyways, this is not the point. Hence this is only a test car of some sort, it could be fitted with some stock parts, and some parts that are not stock.

By the way, agree with you about what your guts say :p

i've just read in my local (from german translated magazine) audi magazine that the new RS5 Coupe will have AT LEAST 500HP...so be aware...the difference between RS5 and RS6 will be about 79-80HP so will be correct (and V8 for the RS5 but with bi-turbo)...great news?I THINK SO!And the other thing is that I AM SO SO HAPPY THAT BMW M3 IS A CRAP AND HIS REVIEWS ARE LOW...YES GOD THAT'S THE WAY I WANTED, THANK YOU:D RS4 remains the best in it's class and definitively will be beat even the new C63 AMG because of the 4.2-.4.4s to 100 and 4WD capable of putting more power down(i don't care if an idiot dyno some audi and said something I F....G DON'T CARE) RS4 IS THE BEST!!!!

Yeah, 4L bi-turbo seems to be the current bet - power and torque are nice, but this car should be lightweight-oriented and N/A. Hey, our beloved N/A RS4 could be the first and last N/A RS-car - a future classic?

470+ hp out of a 4.2 V8 FSI can only be Bi-turbo'd or the car need to have a new 4.8 litre V8 FSI engine with valve-lift.

Yeah you are right. I dont think they would go with a 4.8 engine though. They could still get away with it though since the IS-F and C63 have huge 5.0 and 6.2 litre engines.

I'm sure we will see twin-turbo technology in both the RS5 and RS6, I'm sure this is what it will take to out-perform the M3 and M5.

Edit: I'm sure the new RS5 engine will be in the next gen RS4, so if what the Audi dealer said about 470bhp, then we are looking at a 470bhp RS4 on the way! not any time soon though...

my dealer talked with dealer in moscow and after told me that the russian guy said that the engine will be 4.4 Bi-turbo, and that it will be much lighter than current 4.2 FSI ... the weight balance will improve, and the power distribution will be almost as same as on R8...

i'm not sure if the info is true but it is very strange.....

Torque, you won't get any more torque that way. And fuel consumption wold go up higher.

QuattroFun
July 18th, 2007, 20:09
Quite - but with a lighter car and tightly stacked 7-step DSG you do not need more torque than 430-450Nm. You need hp. Turbo is great for the heavy RS6 - but not the RS5, which should have no turbo or transmission lags or air suspension filtering of the road...

From what I have been told the RS5 with have a smaller unit than currently in the S5. Whether this is an engine option currently been tested or a new direction that Quattro GmbH are taking for the next RS models, then I for one would welcome it with open arms as this will work to improve the overall handling balance of the car and make it even better than the present RS4 which if CAR magazines report is to be believed is still ahead of the next M3.

The rumour is that audi is developing a new gen V8 FSI Valve-lift engine.
The new engine will be smaller/more compact but wil have more volume (4.4 litre ?)
Beside that, Audi is developing a V6 Biturbo FSI engine rumoured for the new S4.

The only reason for the S4 having less power than the out going model would be less weight than before which I personally could live with especially if performance was the same but handling dynamics improved. But I doubt Joe Public would feel the same because lets face it, most people think of power then buying cars like these and this would be saying to them more money with less power regardless of everything else.

Sorry but the "RS5" spyshots looks like a normal S5!!! i dont know, iam really pissed when this will be the new RS5. it doesnt look aggressiv enough for me. i think that the RS models must be even more aggressive than the S models, like the new M3. or the B7 RS4. but that RS5 looks boring to me. Is this just a testing body or the final styling of the RS5??????? what do you think?

It's always the same.. spyshots always looks ugly and not aggresive, but when de rs5 or rs6 is ready.. It will look so good:D It's always like that with Audi.. the M3 also looked ugly on spypics but now it's looks different and great:)
