    Heading to Montecelo NY on the 18th to drive an RS5 on the track.

    I would love to see an RS5 cabrio.

    My 2.0l turbo four cabrio is a bit sluggish.

    Top down pics especially from the rear look good.

    JavierNuvolari,

    Remap would not do much! LOL....

    I've spoken with others who have rebuilt that engine for more than 350 hp, but it's a complete engine rebuild, and not work the money, especially since the transmission in mine is the 6 speed auto and not the DSG...

    It's fun enough as is as a convertible which seats all the kids, etc...but the handling is too squishy, so I am putting in KW V3's this winter (same as my RS6 which I did myself two years ago, new sway bars this past spring). The RS6 is twice the weight of the A4, but handles better LOL....

    I'm looking forward to sampling the RS5 on the track next Saturday, should be fun..

    Mike

    This is one of the best looking convertibles on the market. Looks so balanced and proportional. Nice work Audi.

    If they haven't ruined the headlights with these moronic/generic/cheap-looking/facelifted revisions - yes, I would've been quite excited.... Audi used to be a paragon for simple, tasteful design. Now it's just one of many that could easily be mistaken with those that come from South Korea. Disgrace.

    Curious, not fan of the rear fixed spoiler of course, but even more surprised by the fuel tank cap. Why not the same as the coupé ?
