The Audi RS5 will debut at Geneva 2010

[youry]

this is a forum for a lof us crazy lunatics, so I could not have done without a special plate....

[Fab]

Agree we all are crazy lunatics

I paid a little less than you though

[giarc]

Very bad news indeed !!!! Any specific reasons : local market allocation, Audi exclusive, problems, ...?

Very frustrating as it has already been a looonnng wait to finally get the car alive.

Not a lot of options left for you I guess since you sign a contract. Can you (possibly) cancel it for such a long delay ?

Sorry to make it worse but at that time a new RS engine will not be far away from production I suspect...

When you say new RS engine?

Delays here is Aus are getting frustrating aswell, any information is hard to come by and i was also told its now sometime in the new year.

Not to mention the price is crazy, more than M3 and the prices of options when converted to euro are nearly double the cost here.

[RXBG]

sorry to hear. silly to have to pay to reserve a specific plate. and even more silly that you have to pay to extend the date. this is why big government is bad. make audi pay the difference. show them the paperwork. oh, and don't let this bum out the wait for such a special car. maybe new options and colors will become available that will allow you to equip it with things that may not have been possible before. best of luck.

[youry]

Be sure I will get something out of AUDI.

my daeler is excellent (friends) so they back me up at 200%.

[rs4some]

youry how did you spec your RS5 up? what exclusive options did you get?

[youry]

Steering wheel and gear knob in Suede
and rear of bucket seats painted in the color of the car (SEPANG BLUE)

that is all, nothing really so special.

New rs engine you mean 5l+ bi-turbo? It's made for RS7, not for RS5

I did not mean on the RS5.

But I would be quite frustrated if an RS4 with new V8tt comes out 12-18 months later.

Very good results for the 3 Audis. A bit disapointed on the 0-200 of TT RS.

RS5 chronos are very good.

[inF]

Manual TT-RS's 0-200 km/h time was according to;

AutoZeitung, 08/2009, TT-RS vs. M3 - 16,4 s.
SportAuto, 08/2009, TT-RS vs. Cayman S vs. 370Z - 17,5 s.
Sport Auto, 04/2010, TT-RS vs. Evora vs. Cayman - 16,6 s.
AutoBild, 02/2010, TT-RS vs. 335i, Focus RS vs. Cayman - 16,4 s.
TeknikesVarld, 12/2009, TT-RS vs. 370Z vs. Cayman S vs. Z4 sDrive35i - 17,3 s.

So, how come did they get this time with S-Tronic?

Dear Qisha....

Any news about Sport Quattro car?

[LittleDevil]

That colour combination is the best one for me.

Qisha: Do you mybe have picture side by side Phantom vs Phanter?

[Sims]

That colour combination is the best one for me.

It's a bit like the BMW M6, really not that good looking and so it needs the right colour to help it look good.

[youry]

I totally disagree.

A car with forms in a dark color hides the forms where you want to se them.... an RS5 or any RS looks better in a bright colors...

if you don't like flashy like red or blue, then best is gray (monza or daytona)....

[mccobr]

Out of interest, which cars do you class as good looking?

[The RS6]

That colour combination is the best one for me.

Nice...the only thing I don't like is the choice of wheels...nothing spectacular, the rotor design is on most of RS5's and I don't like it... :/
