    BIG disappointment IMO. You expect at least some "Vorsprung durch technik"

    And I'm sure the RS5 will have plenty of it. Including the engine.

    The price seems too high.... unless the prices in sitzerland are more expansive than in other countries, how luch is the Tt RS in switzerland ?

    because this RS5 would be 93000 EUR + options, that seems too high..... its competitiro is the M3 which is as 73000 EUR...

    mebbe it has some major CF body panels. if it lost 200 lbs the price might actually be justified????
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    you can't compare the price with the TTRS

    you have to make the following calculation in percentage.

    we take 2 models

    AUDI S6 Avant V10 price naked = 130.000 CHF
    AUDI RS6 Avant V10 BT price naked = 170.000 CHF
    around 32 % more expensive

    AUDI TT 2.0 TFSI Tiptronic Quattro ( have to take this model as i doesn't exists Quattro with manual shifter ) 59.000 CHF
    AUDI TTS 2.0 TFSI manual shifter and quattro 71.500 CHF
    AUDI TTRS 2.5 TFSI manual and quattro 90.800 CHF
    all the above models are naked models ( starting price )
    between S and RS +30%

    S5 V8 Tiptronic 94.000 CHF plus around 30 to 35 %......but it seems that the Basic equipment will be a bit better

    don't forget the cars are getting more expensive ......i have paid for my almost fully equipped S8 with Leather dashboard Ceramic Brakes and the almost and really everything except the fridge 235.000 chf and audi said that it is one of the 3 most expensive S8 in switzerland .....well now i have ordered the new A8 Model 4.2 TDI as only 4.2 TDI or 4.2 FSI are available at the moment 201.000 for a F**king diesel. and not having put single seat in the rear........

    agree with Ti here. in the US an A4 with autodimming mirrors and memory seats will cost almost as much as a basic S4.

    in other words- 44K USD for a 211 hp 4 cyl car. even a V6 Honda Accord costs 32K.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    exactly correct. The fact that Audi's schedule is ALWAYS one generation behind AMG and ///M is the biggest problem in my mind. They are not competitive before they even hit the streets

    Exactly. And for Porsche, in addition to the GT2, remember the 917/30 and the 935/6/Moby Dick.
