Retroquattro. Is it a fact or just a rumor?

[RXBG]

where would it fit in the A5 line schema???? kind of a random introduction. however, it could make sense if it is a clubsport or "GT" version of the RS5 where they fit the 5-cyl engine in with 400 plus hp, give it DSG, and seriously lighten the weight with the know-how of the lightweight A5 mules that have been developed and shown to the press. it would have to weigh 3100-3300 lbs to make any sense. and that means a 600 lb weight loss vs the RS5.

In another thread, Qisha told us that in the next two years, an RS product with the 5-cilinder TFSI with around 425 Ps and a weight of around 1500 Kg would appear.

Maybe is this one...?

Yes I guess that 1500kg and 425 hp is a more likely figure. We all now just like JavierNuvolari wrote, it is a fatty. And if you chiptune a TT RS engine you easily get 420 hp so thats also not to hard to believe.

Project Anniversario is a nother name for the RETRO QUATTRO and you can find som more info searching on that name. Here are som old an old articles from 2009 where the authors speculates that the crisis in the car industri has delayed the car until 2012.

My guess is thats why they have set a maximum of 333 cars. They can charge a hell of alot of money and they know that everyone will be sold (just like the R8 GT). The good thing with a fixed number of cars and a high price is that they can start to produce it sooner.
