    I think the fact the car looks good even in such weather is amazing. I think its one of the most stand out cars on the road the S5, particularly in that weather, of an evening coming home when its murky and i see the little underlining LED's sparkling by in the opposite direction, it really looks great and special compared even to my RS6

    Hope your having a lot of fun with the first few days. And it will a hassle free running in period !

    By the way i would love if you posted some pictures of the LED's on.

    Congrats !

    I try as sort that out tomorrow if I remember. I will also post a photo of them on at night which I reckon will look cool.

    P.S.

    Based on how much different/better the S5 drives compared to the B7 S4 I reckon we will be in for a pleasant surprise when the RS5 arrives. It's a lot more willing to change direction than the S4 ever did and it's close in style in the way it drives to the RS4. I can only imagine what it will be like with DRCIII, S/Tronic, Sport Diff and 480hp.................

    Simple maths mate.

    If the RS5 get a 4.0L Bi-turbo unit closely based on the RS6 then you do the maths which is as so,

    600ps (Believed real figure) divided by 5 (5.0L engine) multipled by 4 (4.0L engine) equal 480ps.

    And in any case if it's not the above engine then chances are it a N/A 5.0v10 and Audi will want to maintain close to the 100hp/litre and then again 480hp sounds quite possible.

    Any questions.

    Oops. I remember having that discussion with you. I'm in total agreement with you that it is very likely to see a 4.0 TFSI based on the new RS6 engine. Also, it would have roughly 480bhp and would have amazing torque figures.

    I just thought the way you said 480bhp that you had it confirmed from a source and "slipped up".

    Mate, since that production model release paper made it on to the web things have dried up a bit, though not completely as I did see something to do with the TTS ahead of the dealer.

    Regarding the RS5, I has been told things that do hint to this type of output figure and have been told estimated torque figure which would put the M3 in the shade if not the C63.

    Trust me the RS5 will be the real deal and will be a leap forward compared to the RS4 which in other words will mean it easily better than the M3, but then again would you be expecting anything different from Audi.

    To answer your question: no I wouldnt expect anything different from Audi I think you just need to look at their recent models and future plans to see where they are going.

    On top of that, given what you've been saying about the RS5 I have even more confidence that it will be a mind-blower. I knew you said "480bhp" for a reason, I'm sure the "things" you've been hearing are 100%
