Video + pics: Audi RS5 spied

[RXBG]

Weight of new RS5 is on the same level as S5 V8 Coupe.

Acceleration wise on the same level as R8 V8(or even little bit faster).

whoa nellie. whoa there!

in no way will an awd car that weighs at least 300 lbs more than a V8 R8 and makes less than 10% more power and torque out accelerate the R8. DSG or not.

it will be faster than the TT RS.

Hmm... I think that you will have to except the fact that RS5 will be faster in 0-200km/h then R8 V8. Yes, that fact is IMO hard to except.

BTW, fastest R8 V8(manual) measured by German magazines reached 200km/h in 15.1s(tested by AB Sports Car Edition). Various other examples were between 15.8s-17.2s

Fastest R8 V10 was measured at 12.3s. At least it meant Audi factory claim which for R8 V8 is unfortunately not true.

Since M3 MDCT is as fast in straight line as R8 V8 we can assume that RS5 will be faster then both.

i'll believe this when i see it. post some same day mag accel times for the M3 and R8 to prove it.

if it is faster i am certain the updated engine will go into the R8 in order to keep it faster.
