    it also has the old-style mickey mouse mirrors on, not the new leaner ones.

    the question is not waht is said but wut what is in reality... if it has realyy the 450hp thanb it ill be a greta car.... all that will depend on what they modified from the RS4 V8 engine... the big issue was gettign cold air in...

    I've heard from two sources I qualify being serious that the air inlet is now goign to be two 70mm of diameter vs. one og 90mm... that I think will make a big difference to be honest and get what the engine needs in terms of its air... but still to get 450hp in reality somethign more needs to be don to the engine mecanically (valvetronic maybe ?).

    so I say if it really has the 450hp while RS4 V8 has more typically 370-380hp then its a big change and the car will be greta in my view. any ay I will still buy it.. but cross my fingers I will see a differences from the RS4 V8....

    like i said. they better have increased the torque or decreased the weight becasue that chassis weighs practically the same as the RS4's. no amount of DSGing will make a difference.

    ....or else they had better have found another way to turn the laws of physics on their head. that car will not be much faster than the RS4.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    No it will not match up to the R8 V8 and TT RS.
    It will be a fat heavy boat.

    Weight - about the same as the S5, 450Hp, 460Nm, alot of RPM - more than B7 RS4, no turbo, no supercharger...this is info from KresoF1, check his posts...he was right about many models till now so he's probably the one to trust on the RS5 too.

    I hope those 450Hp will be AT THE WHEELS...

    I'm expecting about 8700 rpms, just like the V10 FSI.

    Most N/A Audi engines don't match up to the power they should have.
    Most RS4 engine's show a power even as low as 380 and max 400.

    problem of RS4 engine is not the size of the air intake but the temperature under the hood. Properly cooled, the engine is much stronger. And sorry to say it but the sound of the engine is very good to me...

    Unfortunately we are sitting in the middle of a battle at Ingolstadt between Turbo and No-Turbo...

    but if the RS5 has V8 without turbo, S4 has V6 with kompressor and next RS4 has twin turbo V8, it is getting very confusing...

    I hope the no-turbo loose, turbo's are the future.
    Without a turbo you would not reach future emission standards.

    I agree with you.

    I hope the current RS4 B8 prototype running with the V8 4.0l Twin turbo arround Ingolstadt win at the end....
