He can’t take photos of the car without getting fired yet ppl r allowed 2 go there & c the cars in person? I don’t think so mate.
If this was posted here by Leadie,Jarod or a couple of the other guys I would believe it.
I have never posted on that forum, I don’t know this guys track record so........
I was just about to agree, but one of the other members on the board went down to see the cars too. The guy has been on the board for 2 years and has like 12,000 posts. Hmm...Originally Posted by M3 owner
I cant manage to get hold of my sources, but I would like to see if anyone else can confirm the design of the RS5. Both of the members on that board say it has a big front bumper like the A3 Clubsport. That isnt so hard to believe since the TT Clubsport previews the TT-R in some ways

Here's a summary of the details from the thread for you guys:
TT-R = 2.5 inline turbo 350bhp, RS4 wheels
RS5 = V8 470bhp, A3 Clubsport-like bumper
R8 = V10 520bhp
Q7 = V12 750lb-ft tq, huge ceramic brakes
Most of this info has been discussed in recent times on many forums. The only reason I'm not calling those guys liars is because they have been on the forum for years and have lots of posts. Hmmm... Can anyone confirm?

At the minute I have no info to back up their claims or dispel them. As you have reminded us, all the info provided is old news with nothing new.
Until pictures come forth it is only a rumour.
Search and you will find the truth.
I can back this guy up as being a reputable source. I have done business with him before and have vistied the dealership. He would not put up a rediculous post like that unless it was true.
The guy is the GM of Desert Audi in Vegas
I think it's BS with capital letters.

Maybe sales have fallen in his shop so he wants to attract lots of Audi lovers to come over there and take a look...
It is true.
Audi is currently testing some test mules in USA.
R8 V10 is the same one that is on the pic near Nashville that I posted. R8 V10 Spider is flat black test mule and RS5 is basically S5 body shell with new 4.2 V8 and new front end(not final exterior design)...
Holy Crap Awesome. Didnt think the RS5 would makes over 450 but i suppose that I am wrong.
Anyone else think that after all the spyshots and rumors, that the V10 R8 would be introduced in Targa form at the Official presentation and then Coupe form later on?

So it's true then, thanks for conforming that Kerso.
I never did hear the final spec of the RS5, only knew the rough KW (approx 480hp) and the estimated torque figure of 500Nm. You would have to bet on the RS5 topping the current German standings but whether BMW or Mercedes will take this beating laying down is debatable. I reckon both of them will have something to say about this.
So lets see, 470hp + 500Nm + 7sp S/Tronic + 1600Kgs = 4.3s @ 100km/h.
P.S.
After reading the review in the latest Topgear mag on the RS6 against it's priers you have to say that even with a heavier engine than would be ideal the RS5 will be an incredibly hard car to beat on a twisty bit of black stuff.
Search and you will find the truth.
The RS5 will be like the RS6 overweight.

Jarod, what are your predictions about RS5 weight?
I anticipate that the RS5 will be a bit on the Porky Side. Audi should seriously focus on power to weight ratios and weight saving components, rather than just boosting hp.
I would be fine with a RS5 with the RS4's 420hp v8 a curb weight of 3600-3650 rather than a 470hp V8 with a curb weight that might match or even exceed that of the S5's 3891 figure.
Do you really think so? I can believe that because it will never do 4.3sec to 100km/h! So it has to be more then 1600kg for sure... Hope not though

What is an Audi without quattro?
1702 Kg.

The S5 weighs already 1630 Kg the RS will not weigh lees, not by a long shot.Do you really think so? I can believe that because it will never do 4.3sec to 100km/h! So it has to be more then 1600kg for sure... Hope not though
