- something between 450 and 500 HP
- a lot of exclusive combinations
- aggresive design
- RS4 rims
- bi turbo engine
- a plus version like the on RS6
- a DSG version ?
Is that enough ?
P.S. the most important wish : IT SHOULD COME NEXT YEAR
Audi Fan & Driver
Things I would like to see on the forthcoming RS5.
1. Exclusive customizations/combinations (interior & exterior colors, seat materials, dash materials, etc.)
2. The RS4's 4.2L V8 420HP FSI (Same engine, I dont need more HP)
3. Use of Aluminum / Weight Saving Components to reduce weight by 100lbs.
3. Get this here no more than 1 year after the m3 arrives.
DSG!!!!!!!!!
it must have DSG
this is what i wish to see on RS5
1) new engine, 4.4 bi-turbo with 470+hp ,which will be lighter than 4.2 V8 FSI...
2) magnetic ride
3) direct shift gearbox
4) balanced weight destrebution..
5) much more power output to rear wheels and less to front, but Still Quattro... (like on R8)
6) Exclusive customizations/combinations (interior & exterior colors, seat materials, dash materials, etc.)
7) No Understeer
8) Use of Aluminum & Weight Saving Components to reduce weight...
9) i want it on april 2008
Maybe BMW is better than Mercedes or Mercedes is better than BMW but there is one car which better then both of them together... 25 years quattro..AUDI
past: Nissan Micra K11 1.3 16 valve;
BMW 325 1995 192hp(stock) Chip tuning up to 207hp.
Present: Audi A4 2.8L V6 237hp (intercooling system, injection, chip tuning)
Hahaa, could not resist this bite so here comes my RS5 wish list to Santa:
1) 4.2L V8 FSI N/A from RS4 modified to 450PS/450Nm
2) Short-throw and slick 6-speed manual and 7-speed DSG
3) Further improved electronics-free DRC with SS+ option from RS4
4) Like RS4, lower weight than equivalent S-car - i.e. S5 (1630kg)
5) QTV
6) Louder and sexier exhaust note than RS4, M3 or C63
7) Even quicker and more feelsome steering set-up than RS4
8) Better flow and less understeer in tight bends than in RS4
9) As good ride comfort as in RS4
10) (Afforable) factory sports pack with 19", Ceramics and SS+
In development work, do not benchmark the car against M3 or C63 - but rather R8 and 911 GT3 and C4S and try to create as similar experience as possible given weight and weight distribution
RS5 will have the engine from the RS4 with biturbo and will develop at least 500HP(very sure source)....so be prepared...
I bet you $3.28cents that is is not going to have anything over 500hpOriginally Posted by AudiSuperDriver
A twin turbo FSI V8 would do the trick.
i would love to see it have more than 500hp but i doubt it.
wouldn't make sense gievn the RS6 will make 580.
i am wondering when the hell audi will replace that 4.2 liter engine.
finally, if audi put two turbos into the RS4 engine to make an RS5 engine what would be the point of the R8's engine? the weight difference between the R8 and RS5 can't justify two turbos.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
A new 4.4 Bi Turbo 480hp or 500hp engine. lighter than rs4 engine.
New Quattro, just special for the rs5.
1500kg or lessAluminum and carbon fiber, Just make it Lightweight for once.
Afcourse aggresive design.
a lot of options for interieur.
But, that's just what i hope.
Wishlist....
1. 2,5l Turbo FSI, 500Bhp
2. Carbon fibre and kevlar
3. air inlet over the turbo
4 red with white wheels
like a futuristic sport quattro
Direct Shift
4.2 FSI TT (450hp and over 500lb)
if not DirectShift then a better clutch than the RS4 (my only complaint so far on this car)
Available within two years in Canada, please!
Last but not least, at least as enjoyable as the RS4
Rick, you don't like the clutch in the RS4. Can I ask why? Is it possible that you have one of the early cars that had the clutch hose issue and you haven't gotten it repaired?
I just feel it's too long & high. Maybe that can be fixed/adjusted I'll be checking with my dealer at my next visit. If it could be half the current travel it would be perfect. Especially when going full throttle between 1st & second when you can burn the clutch easily if not completly depressed.
That kind of adjustment was possible on my WRX I should be possible to do the same thing on this one.
Apply this to a TT RS and i'm sold.
Hans.
What I am wishing for is as follows.
1/ Quattro3 (a must)
2/ S-Tronic (again a must)
3/ Magneticride suspension (once again a must)
4/ A smaller Bi-turbo engine (450hp+450ft/lbs) is better weight balance (and once again a must)
5/ Less overall weight (now that's once again a must)
Oh, did I say it's a must for all of the above.
Search and you will find the truth.
A 8400rpm redline+
440-450hp
200pounds less weight
50-50 weight distribution
MUCH more rear biased quattro
SPORT mode that actually differs from regular mode
Better sound
Decent brake balance this time
Bi-tone interiors as a standard option, not audi exclusive or whatever
Purple and metalic white (kinda like fudji white on Maserati) exteriors
