RS5 front bumper revealed

[The Pretender]

That's your opinion, as for me I prefer the CAR version, based of the photo evidence. Maybe my opinion will change once I have seen it for real.

If you have seen the TT-S in real life and liked it, you will like the RS5 in real live.

I didnt like the TT-S at first and even now in real-life I feel the front bumper could look better. The RS5's bumper is similar but I think it's better and looks great even in bad quality spypics.

Yeah, I saw one in white sitting along side a beautiful R8, Sprint Blue with graphite alloys and carbon blade.

Maybe the reason so many are preferring the RS5 version in CAR magazine is because it's a finished rendition instead of seeing an overly aggressive bumper on a stock S5.

I dunno man. That bumper in the spyshots look way over the top.

The car looks like a S5, but according to the photographer it did not sound like a S5.
The front bumper is different with bigger air intakes presume that it's a test mule for the RS5.
It will be competing with the new BMW M3 V8 and Mercedes-Benz C63.
Just like other RS models the 5 will be developed by Quattro GmbH, Audi’s performance department.
The RS5 will be a Quattro but engine wise there are still question mark's.
Power will be 420+ hp (S5 has 354 hp).

Another testmule.....perhaps S5 Evo though i think the Evo in itself is a testmule and not a production candidate.

I hate that front bumper on the 5. (though it looks good on the TT/S/R)

Best front bumper design i've seen from Audi for a long time.

+1 the bomper in these spyshots doesnt mesh well with the rest of the car.

The CAR photoshops look much better though im hoping for a more aggressive appearance.

[Mockenrue]

I wonder if the rollcage and bucket seats will make it into production!

How's about this being the new S5 with 3.0 T V6?

They wouldn't have required to place a different front bumper if that had been the case. All this would have done is draw attention to something which Audi would want to conduct in private.

I have info that say this is a facelift S5 testmule with new 3.0TFSI supercharged engine, new 7-speed S-Tronic and TVQ.

I dont think it is Hans. The front bumper is nealy identical to the TT-R front bumper. It looks far too aggressive for an S model and has all the characteristics of an RS model. Honeycomb grille, large intakes with honeycomb mesh, etc.

Also, the S5 and S4 look pretty similar in terms of design. Why would Audi facelift the S5 to make it look extra aggressive?
