Sorry if the translation sounds dodgy. Babel tried its best... I suppose.

I can't thank you enough for these picks Kowalski! I have high hopes for the RS5, I think the A/S/RS5 could be the car to take Audi to the top of the sports coupe segment! I can't wait to see the end result, I'm sure it'll be sickness!
Regular readers will remember that we brought you a few spy pics of a barely disguised - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER back in March. Well here’s a pretty nice rendering of the finished article.
The high-revving 4.2L V8 that powers the RS4 gets plumbed into the RS5’s nose, complete with two turbochargers that will take peak power to around 450bhp. Expect it to come equipped with all the goodies, including magnetic ride, and even the R8’s ceramic brake package.

"I have an interesting chat to a good friend ( ) regarding things to do with Quattro GmbH and M-GmbH and their respective futures. The subject turned to the M3 and it's less than favourable reviews and what to expect from the M3 CSL, as expected the talk is less weight and a new gearbox among other things.
Well surprise, surprise he replied that if BMW make a light weight M3 than the RS5 will be made to compete, clearly it looks like Quattro are not content to compete with the current M3, no it has bigger fish to fry.
So does this mean we can expect a light weight RS5 or one with power to burn and a special chassis/drive-train with better weight balance."
I'm sorry was that not simple enough for you to comprehend?
No, I think you're the one that doesn't understand my question although I must admit your posts often have so many spelling and grammatical mistakes that it's very hard to comprehend what you're saying. To my knowledge the term "king of cost" doesn't exist. Why would it? It sounds ridiculous. Why would a company be proud that its products cost more than the competing ones? It would make sense if you said "king of cost -cutting" or "king of cost control" but "king of cost"? That doesn't exist anywhere else than inside your head.
