Audi have to change the crankshaft to a flat plain to get more power out of it.
Ferrari's 4.3 V8 produce 490 hp by 8500 rpm and have 465 Nm of torque.
In Audi's case by 4.2 litre this mean 478 hp must be possible if Audi start using a flat plain crankshaft.
btw, that black mule have two intercoolers, it's a S5 4.2 TDI Clubsport.

NO, it is 4.2L NA engine... There are even pics of the engine but, of course it can not be posted on the web...

I have no problem with the RS5 using the 420hp 4.2LV8, but with a good diet.
I sure it will be wider!some pics of the RS5 mule in Vegas:

What is an Audi without quattro?
Yep it has to if not the front bumper is too large for the current fenders.I sure it will be wider!

I do like the nes RS look though, looking forward to this RS5... I am on the waiting list since April when I sold my RS4....
I'm in agreement with Jarod, if this is an RS mule it will be the first one ever to not use the tradition oval pipes. Also, looking at the front shot of the car you can clearly see what looks like intercoolers either side.
I wouldn't be surprised to here this is a diesel, I did tell you that Audi were working on hi-performance diesel versions of both the S and RS models. If this is an S diesel version the fact that it's got a Clubsport nose similar to the A3 eariler shown then we can expect something approaching 330hp.
I can't say if it's a v8 diesel or a v6, I would have expected a v6 simply because that is where the market place is at the moment with the 335d leading the list.
Search and you will find the truth.
What I read into this is that Audi may bring out a higher output version of the S5, an Evo version that bridges the gap between the normal S5 and the RS5, if the RS5 ends up with 450hp then I doubt an official S5 EVO will have the 420 that this one-off has, a 390~400hp would be more like it. But if this 420hp is the final spec then there is no way the RS5 will only have 450hp, I reckon you would need to add another 20hp to that figure.
Search and you will find the truth.
good find by leadie.
makes sense to drop a detuned RS4 engine in there. maybe they'll even simply drop the current V8 in the S5 and update it with this engine........ though i doubt this.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
I doubt the S5 evo would make it into production. To me it doesnt make sense to have an A5, S5, S5 evo and RS5.
RS5 + TT-RS
This front look a lot like the TT-S front, it could be a 2009 S5 front upgrade.
But there is something weird about this car.
"NO WAY" this is a N/A engined car, not by a long shot.
This car have two intercooler with out a doubt.
It can't be Supercharged IMHO because a SC don't need air intercoolers.
In that case there are two options:
1) This is a TDI car.
2) this car have the V10 TFSI under the bonnet.

why not a 4.2 TFSI
damien and youry-- exactly..............
damien- it could make sense to have the old RS4 engine in the S5 line as an "evo" once the current S5 engine gets replaced with the upcoming S4's powerplant, which i am convinced WILL happen. you'd have an A5 with 265, then the S5 with 350 (SC motor) and then a 400 hp evo-- 4 engine options does seem a bit excessive at first, i agree, but then they do offer like 8 engines in the A5 in europe do they not?-----
followed by the V8 TT 4.0 with 470- hp.....
youry- i too agree it isn't diesel. it is gas. 4.0 V8 TT--- what i've been saying all along. the V10 TT doesn't belong in this line. it will go into the RS7.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
Audi don't make it easy.
V6 3.0TFSI is a supercharged engine, the V10 5.0TFSI is a biturbo engine.
There are rumours of a 395 hp V8 4.0TFSI supercharged engine for the next gen A8 and it look like the RS5 could have a V8 4.0TFSI biturbo engine (little brother of the RS6 engine) based on these new pictures.

If only that could be true
