    type on the video search "RS5" then you will see it

    PS: do you think it sounds like a Turbocharged car or NA ?

    sounds nice. definitely DSG. not sure it couldn't be turbo. only two camps remain- those who say it is an updated NA high rev V8 and those who say it is a TT V8 of lower displacement.

    i think we will find out in geneva.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    This is definitely S-Tronic and the engine is definitely N/A, but is exactly the info that I received this morning.

    Yeah, based on the soundtrack, I would also say NA V8 + DSG.

    No way that's a N/A engine, sounds like a 100% Supercharger to mee .

    oh no i dont hope thats true. wolfgang hatz (engine development guy from audi) said that all above V6 would be turbos in future. just with the new S4 engine the supercharger was better packaging. i hope thats true.

    Yeah, I know.

    Though not TT, I believe it will run a supercharger unit (aka S4 style).




    I will be proven right...........................though is might take a year or two.

    I thought the exact same on the slow speed and taking off from a stop part of the video but on the high speed runs around the ring it sounds so like the S5 with a bit more upper volume.

    The only thing we can definitely agree on is that it's S/Tronic.


    P.S.

    Who here has thought after watch this video and the one of the TT/RS that both cars look very capable and quick around the ring. I am expecting very impressive times from both cars, will we see the RS5 get below the magic 8 minutes and is it possible for the TT/RS to get close to the M3's 8:05.

    Raeder Motorsport put a time down on the Nordschleife of 7:49 min with a tuned and ± 100 Kg ligther TT-S with between 330 and 380 hp.

    Well then my estimates of 8:05 is probably on the cards.

    Imagine that, a TT capable of matching the might M3 on it's home turf.

    In the video posted, the RS5 sounds like a very high reving V8, even if I didn't read that possibility here, I'd still say it sounds like a V8 version of the Lambo V10...

    560/10*8=448...

    Nevertheless, I'd like to see two turbos
