RS5 overview

HKS786,

I reckon you might be closer to the truth than you know with this 4.0v8TFSi engine. I have been told that the next RS4/5 engine would be turboed and the future engines will decrease in size.

Your reckoning might just be on the money.

Leadie,

When should we expect to see it? I'm guessing about a year after the S5 so maybe 2008 spring?
I just can't wait for this beast to come out!!

Unless things have changed at Quattro HQ I doubt it will be only a year away. Presently one RS model at a time has been the way things have been done but it is widely know that this is to change and allow them to product more and more often. I think you might see the car at a motorshow here the end of next year but doubt you will be able to buy one this side of 2009.

P.S.

Expect changes to the S5 in all departments like handling, gearbox and possibly engine prior to then though.

Wow, sounds good. I'm all for a turbo'd RS5. Like you pointed out with the RS6, Audi are managing to get a really good torque range...Whatever the case, this machine is gonna be a beast

Thanks for all the thoughts. I am going to call my Audi dealer and get on the "list". Hopefully I don't need to give them more $$$ as they allready have dough on the possibly dead American RS6.
