Nice pictures. This is undoubtedly a better looking car than the M3. In fact, if it goes half as well as it looks, then I'd like to see it take-on an Aston-Martin V8 Vantage.
What's with the petrol cap? it seems as if it may be different from the standard one.
Maybe they had to relocate it because of the rear fender.Originally Posted by tailpipe
Fuel cap will be something a la fuel cap on R8 or TTs according to my source.
I agree with you: the 458 Italia is flat-out gorgeous. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until i win the UK's National Lottery.
Ten years ago, I would have bought this RS5 without question (I used to own an M3). Now, with 3 kids, i need more space so the B6 A4 and then B7 RS4 were logical choices. The thing about the current RS4 was the size of its petrol tank and consumption, which could mean stopping very regularly on trips between London, Bologna and Gstaad, which i make often. Even so it was a magnificent beast on winter roads.
I like the new S4 very much, but really would prefer a V8. So what to get as i wait (impatiently) for the next RS4?
New 4-door Golf GTI is terrific in every way, but i want to change it for a 4-wheel drive Golf R. Very pleased to hear the DSG one drives well.
Going back to the RS5, it is clearly going to be a very impressive car. Qisha's enthusiasm reveals that Audi has put as much love into it as it did the last RS4. It's going to be a classic. I just hope environmental pressure doesn't stop Audi building cars like this.

I can see them now!
Thanks!
The wheels look inset too much! I wonder if this is because the arch disguises are a little oversized? I know the S5 suffers terribly with this so I hope the RS5 wont inherit it?
I think the RS5 will not be wider then the S5 only will have different shaped fenders.
There are pretenders among us.....
Geniuses with the ability to become anyone they want to be.....
It is wider. Almost all specs are know. BUT, I can not post it here-embargo for some period of time.
when is the end of press-embargo? next week?
NO, end of November 2009.
So that means the RS5 will debut in the LA Auto Show, as RXBG predicted?
Dear Friends,
the RS5 has its final product level and the market introduction quote production will start by the end of this month.
The year is not over... debut wise. Whatever that means.
Qisha
PS: of course the car will have a wider stand. :cool2:
Essen?
