Front grill & bumper looks final

New wheel design

Big front brake disks

Nothing new really seen here. Car looks great but I dont like the wheels. Looks so much better with the RS4 wheels and RS6 wheels. I'm getting bored waiting for this car. The M3 is the one for me right now because it looks so damn good and had performance to match. This RS5 better be something good to justify the delay.

still very dissaponted with the rear fnders. they look identical... they might be 1-2 cm larger ,but it does not appear so. while in the front its obvious and very nice.

looks like it will not be squared look fenders like RS6, which is very good news !

It has Audi badge on the grill... So, its official.

Thanks LittleDevil

The one in your pics looks even more final (besides the camo), as it does not have any rollcage and has some "light" coloured leather seats

Here you can see well the retracted spoiler in the trunk

**Eckoman** · August 19th, 2009, 13:15

Looks like the camo is hiding massive flared wheel arches - wohoo!

Will probably look good, but turbo, supercharged or NA engine? Still crossing fingers for a forced induction engine..

It looks like there are intercoolers behind the lower side vents in this picture.

**The RS6** · August 19th, 2009, 19:58

I'm 99% sure it will be a NA V8, but those huge air intakes still give me hope...

**crespo** · August 19th, 2009, 21:36

Still a good bit of camo going on, specifically with the flares and the rear valence/diffuser. Front looks pretty damn final. Intercoolers don't mean much (may be for oil/pump...)

**QuattroFun** · August 21st, 2009, 15:56

It will look hot I am sure and I fully expect it to be hot ability-wise too - bring it on!

Does anyone recall the same argument regarding the RS6 and it's engine choices.

option 1 : high revving N/A v10 from the Gallardo (most of the press)
option 2 : bi-turbo v10 (a few here)

Even when very similar photos were shown of the intercoolers either side there were still some who said it may be just oil coolers. I'm not suggesting anything, only highlighting the similarities.

And before anyone asks, my lips are sealed.
