"This is Audi’s new RS5 out on test on the roads surrounding the Nurburgring, and under the bonnet is a 450bhp twin-turbo V8.
...But Ingolstadt wants to take the fight to BMW, so will equip its new RS5 coupe with a direct-injection 4.2-litre V8 that produces 450bhp, 332lb ft and rev to 8000rpm.
And to match the BMW, the RS5 will be available with both a six-speed manual and a seven-speed twin-clutch ‘box for lightning fast gear changes – the RS5 should reach 62mph in 4.5 seconds. "

A twin turbo 4.2-liter V8 engine with 450 bhp and 450 Nm.
Oh, that Car Magazine.....
Many thx for posting - I love the way it appears to blend RS6 and TTRS styling clues. Boxed wheels arches, the TTRS style front spoiler and exhaust/diffusor will look hot on Walter da Silva's finest. An of course that upgraded NA V8
Yes, that Car Magazine...
BTW, engine will be 4163ccm HDZ V8 with 450ps/460Nm. Dry sump.
S Tronic with 7 speed-updated for bigger power.
Jarod.
There are pretenders among us.....
Geniuses with the ability to become anyone they want to be.....
thx
and what will be the rev limit - 8000 or 8400?
MAN it looks soo MEAN.
So we are finally getting to see the RS5 and first thing to notice is the widened arches. Does this mean old style RS4 or new style RS6?
I guess we will know soon enough.
Search and you will find the truth.
Audi has launched some seriously cool cars in the last few years, kudos to them. The wheel arches SHOULD be a la RS6....simply sex on wheels.
I think is just Audi testing out their new two-tone paint
My God, those exhaust pipes are HUGE!

I think it would look way better with the RS4 style guards than those, it just doesn't have the same "tough" look as and RS4
This time my hint was right..., 4.2 will be in it.
Looks are also going into right direction, now the last thing we need to know is weight!
nice find kreso- you too jarod- thanks for adding!!!!
kreso- you'll have an audi dream garage.
on another note, i suspect the R8's current V8 will be replaced with this one. the dry sump is the most surprising yet expected item. i think this thing will handle better than anything bmw makes. amazing how audi has truned the tables on the "utlimate driving machine" my god! especially if this thing gets the DSG- it's going to be sick....
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
Great! That car will replace my S5
Will it be quicker than RS6?
Are you meaning acceleration and topspeed or is it on the track. On the track I think that is a no brainer but highly doubt it will match or even get close to the RS6 in acceleration, maybe up to 80~90mph the two will be close but after that it's a war of horsepower and torque and the RS6 has way more of both to ever lose that battle. If the actual figures end up at 450ps and 460Nm then it will postion itself just behind the C63 but ahead of the M3, the big unkown is the S/Tronic gearbox and whether it will receive launch control and how it's gear ratios will differ from the S4, plus how different will it's shift mapping be, if they get all of these right with 7 gear being a true top speed and not purely economy then it might just pip the C63 in a drag race.
Will it out handle all of them? Again a no brainer.
Search and you will find the truth.
