New RS5 mule pics

[The RS6]

A masterpiece of engineering would be a combined- twincharged engine...

I hope that is a small hint there Mr. Qisha is giving us...

Twincharging as in Supercharger/turbo is not a V engine thing.
VAG only use twincharging on small 1.4 litre engine's.
Even the 2.5 litre R5T twincharger rumour stay a rumour.
If you know Audi's reason for a V6 Supercharger you know there will not be a Twincharged V engine.
Because in that case the whole V6 supercharged development was a waste of time.
The 5.0TFSI V10 RS6 engine is most lijkely the last old style twin turbo V engine of Audi.
The future V6, V8 and V10 Audi engine's will all be Supercharged or on top twin turbo. IMHO.

Maybe the future RS models will use a version of the R5 only combined with twincharging.

I can't imagine that Audi developed this engine only for the TT RS and future RS3.

i DO believe Qisha's assertion. a twincharged set up with FSI and valvelift would be something to brag about. this concept is coming, big time. where it will appear first in the audi line up i do not know- but likely in a low volume line as it makes most sense marketing -wise. people shoping for luxo cras want to know what that comapny is capable of- hence the R8- with trickle down technology and design features.

for example- i expect the new A8 to employ a HVAC/gauge system similar to the new range rover's- fully adaptable LCD maybe even with star trek like touch screen capability.

exciting things are coming.

I hope to see that in next Gen Audi R?(5) mid engined sports car.
Like the one's planed Audi Sport quattro S2.

Are you sure.

























Only joking.

Yes they are the same as the TT RS ones, only darker coloured on this mule.

No these.

I wonder will this become an option on the RS5 or will it be similar to how the TT/RS test mule was, with the RS6 alloys being used during development but not offered as an option when the car is launched.

[QuattroFun]

I wonder if the RS5 will be DSG only. This is relevant for how well developed the whole package will be - one transmission, one go. Most reviewers seem to like the M3 manual better although the DCT is quoted faster, whereas nobody has said anything bad about the Ferrari California or GT-R as in whether the transmissions-engine-chassis interplay is right or not or demanded a manual for driver involvement.

[The Pretender]

I can assure you, there will be a manual gearbox to.
