    The release of the Audi RS5 is coming closer, this undisguised Audi RS5 was testing at the famous Grossglockner pass in Austria. Our friends Brady and David Dwyer snapped some photos and a short video of the Audi RS5 in action.

    The Audi RS5 will be equipped with the well-known 4.2 V8, pushing out a little over 450 hp. And like the S5, also the RS5 is likely to see a topless version. In the video below you can hear the sound of the new Audi RS5 as it’s produced by the V8 driving up the mountain.

    The Grossglockner, where the Audi RS5 was spotted, is one of Austria’s main tourist attractions. The 48km long alpine road that starts in Bruck and ends in Heiligenblut leads you through the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, to the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner (3,798m) and its glacier, the Pasterze. The Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse as it’s called in German, features 36 bends, and an altitude ascent to 2,504 metres! If you’re ever in Austria make sure to visit it, it’s open from the beginning of may till the end of october.

    While the new Mercedes E63 AMG was released to the public two months ago at the New York Motorshow, this E63 AMG was caugth testing the AMG brakes at the Grossglockner pass. The upcoming SLR successor, the Mercedes SLS, was also seen in the area of the Grossglockner. Speculation suggests that AMG uses the E63 AMG to test different brakes and brake settings for their SLS Gullwing.

    It’s no secret AMG used similar brakes on the Mercedes SLS mule that was caught testing before.

    I'm not sure - but:

    Front grill looks different?

    Sounds like V8

    Test driver said it was RS5

    That is 100% the same sound as the RS5 that has been hammering around the ring for the better part of 6 months.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    Looking so much forward to the NA V8 RS5 with DSG and Sportdiff - if it turns out to be as good as I hope it will be, I may come back from "the dark nemesis RWD side (which I currently just love for a change after 4 performance Q Audis in a row)"...

    I doubt we will see 480 hp from a High-Rev V8, 440-450 at the most IMHO.

    Yes for the V8 in the Blue mule.
    Audi is also still testing a Red Mule with different engine.
