But only if they restrict production to 2000 units worldwide... which they will not. This car will otherwise depreciate like any sporting luxury car.
I saw an RS2, a real limited production icon, with about 26k miles, offered for half the price new. So enjoy the RS5, and invest money in some lightweight with a racing pedigree.
North American RS5 fans, this is directly from Audi USA press site:
At this time, the RS 5 is not planned for the USA.
Sorry!
This is getting rediculous now. Are we ever going to see RS models in the states again?! Thats 3 in a row we did not get - Kreso, any reasoning why that you can think of?
Kreso,
Thank you for keeping us informed. I guess now I am going to have to be negative, so I apologize in advance. Audi is a stupid company. They like to say that they compete with BMW and Mercedes, but they don't compete with the M brand or AMG in America. Audi has nothing that can compete in the United States with the M3, M5, or X5M.
I am getting sick of trying to update my tired old 03 RS6. It has everything I can put on it to try and keep it somewhat up-to-date, and yet a 535XI is still way nicer. One day BMW is actually going to build an M car I like and then I am going to leave the Audi brand. I have 3 Audi's right now, and all 3 of them are starting to age. I want to replace them, but with what? Sorry again guys, I'm just sick of this mentality that we are too fat, too stupid, too ugly, too arrogant, too.......I don't know what the reason is anymore. Just sick of it.
Low $$$ is the key element IMHO. German price is €77700 with Mwst. Audi can not price is lower then $80K in USA and for that money nobody will buy it.
My advice is for people with money from USA-buy Porsche models(as underpriced as possible in USA) since from next MY prices will gradually go higher...
Do you like this?
I hope some make it to the states.
Suzuka Grey, isn't it?Do you like this?
looks good, though normally it wouldn't be a colour I would choose, since I prefer darker colours.

Kreso, can you do a Sepang Blue one for me pleaseDo you like this?
Not really, it looks like a Japanese Car with that colour combo, shape, photo angle IMHODo you like this?
I see the problem. 77,700 Euros at $1.35 to the Euro = $105,000. So the strong Euro is really affecting the big ticket trade.
Anyone remember the $ was 0.80 to the Euro, then the car would be $62,000......
Dear Friends,
the RS 5 as well as the TT RS both have good chances to be offered in the USA as well.
The RS 5 looks best -as mentioned- in bright colors. Misanored, Sepangblue, Solarorange, Imolayellow, GT3 green either of them look brilliant.

Qisha,
When will Audi post RS5 on audi.de? It is already on some regional Audi web sites and on both German and USA Audi press sites...
Hi,
Any ideas at all when or if a convertible RS5 will follow or when the coupes will begin to be delivered?
What makes you think the RS5 has a good chance? Is there anything RS5 lovers from the U.S.A. can do to make it happen?Dear Friends,
the RS 5 as well as the TT RS both have good chances to be offered in the USA as well.

Qisha,
