note the overhang, don't know if that's a good indicator for anything yet.

BTW, hope u can see the resemblance between a5's tail lamp and a4's with these two images.

The Audi A4/S4 "will" debut on the IAA Frankfurt this September.
And yes the S4 will have the same 354 hp 4.2 V8 FSI engine like the S5 Coupe.
But people who buy a S4 sedan or a S5 Coupe' are totally different.
If you have rugrats you will probably not buy a S5 Coupe' but a S4 sedan or even a S4 Avant will you.

Correct me if I am wrong but that is almost 10 cm shorter not a meter...

Well, if that is fact, than not so bad, The A5 will also be lighter.

yea i just noticed, you are right.

I knew it, 370-390hp was too much and to close to RS4. Sorry Audifans, dont have to high expectations next time or you might be disappointed if it turns out not to be true, like in this case.

AMS were correct.

4,2-Liter-FSI-Triebwerk
Der V8-Motor sorgt mit 260 kW (354 PS) (Kraftstoffverbrauch kombiniert: 12,4 l/100 km; CO2-Emission kombiniert: 298 g/km) für spontanes Ansprechverhalten und ein sportlich-emotionales Fahrerlebnis.

PS: No trace of S-tronic (DSG) and MagneticRide in the S5 Technical Highlights.

Meaning Audi still haven't developed DSG & active suspension for a new platform , or just "forgot" to mention such important things in Technical Highlights.

I also expected more HP, but I'm not disapointed at all with those numbers. I find it crazy how we start throwing numbers around and if your number expectations aren't met your disapointed. I'm willing to bet this car will be right with the 335i & M3 performance wise!

sorry but next M3 will be faster than both M3 E46/335i and S5. Rs4 and M3 E92 play in another league.
