Audi RS5 Facelift

[andreasm]

The German catalog of the facelift model is online, but still no new price list and still not availiable in the configurator.
Some of the differences... new 19” aluminum wheels, 0,1 sec. faster to 100km/h....

[The RS6]

0,1 sec. faster to 100km/h....

Only one question -> why?

[Ritchy]

Not due to weight, the FL is even a bit more heavy!

Well, depends on if it is calculated the same way...

Ah Jesus. Come on Audi, listen to your customers. Listen to reviews. Read. Listen.

Don't invest so much money into creating xyz new niche models. Make the current ones better.

The RS5 did not need new headlamps and a new grille. It needed less weight and that 4.0T from the S8. That thing would destroy just about all that the competition can throw at it, and would probably sell like hot cakes.

Everything seems to be ready with the RS5. But still no order or delivery date available.

Some German forums say it's due to the engine, not fully ready for production. Does that mean there's an improvement on the previous one ? maybe Audi doesn't want further RS5's owners upset with the power ?

I would appreciate, for once, to watch a video where the RS5 is not far behind another 400/450HP similar vehicule....

Dear Ritchy,

orders will be taken scheduled to start from the end of this week.

Configurator on line.

As usual, my dealer knows nothing and unable to take an order.

Hope to have it before June, and dyno it asap. Never knows, maybe an unexpected surprise as on latest BMW:

Te 4.0T is certainly heavier than the 4.2 RS engine.

Autoexpress article on the FL RS5:

Does anyone have informations about the new power steering system, and new engine settings ?

[Ritchy]

Here it is. RS5 ordered!

[youry]

and you dare say that without telling us your final spec.... this is serious

[Ritchy]

Very simple...all extras available except:

- dynamic steering
- buckets (just because they are not available in France)
- adaptive cruise control
- aluminium exterior pack
- TV
- 280 km/h (trying to have it, but as for buckets, not available in France, i should have an answer next week from my dealer)

Interior will be black audi exclusive leather (pack1) with red seam (as well for steering/knob) and carbon inserts.

[The RS6]

And the exterior color...?

[Ritchy]

Daytona grey at this time...but still in love with black cars. So it might changes.

I will also have on next tuesday informations linked to Audi exclusive colors. Time to check pictures with Avus grey for example. I remember B5 RS4s in that color....

Well, only item i'm not sure of.

I have also to check with my friend who's going to buy my car end of 2013. Then will surely come an R8 V10. If this time everything's ok with this FL product.

[youry]

screem for the bucket seats...... that is not aceptabel that you can't have that option......

@Ritchy: Daytona grey
