 But it's not impossible, right? The S5 camed immediately along with the launch of A5 series which was the 1st time ever Audi did that. Could be the same with RS5, that it comes much sooner than we think. And if that happens - FY Audi!   | |

| Re: Audi RS5 thread. Do not underestimate the power of Audi. Quattro, 420 Bhp and Suspension with Magnetic Dampers. This is going to be one very serious Sport Coupé. Both the BMW M3 and the Mercedes CLK 63 AMG better watch out! Audi is coming with guns blazing! We all have seen already the wonders that Magnetic Dampers can do with a car. Take the front-wheel-drive Audi TT 2.0 Turbo FSI tested by Top Gear early this year, for instance. - It lapped around the Top Gear test track, faster than the rear-wheel-drive Mazda RX-8 and it was faster even than the also rear-wheel-drive BMW M3 E46. In fact, the Audi TT is the fastest front-wheel-drive car to lap around the TG test-track so far. |

| Re: Audi RS5 thread. I'd say that all blacked out this car looks hot...but it still isn't agressive looking. As for this car's competitor...it's definitely the M3. There is no other car that this will go up against, but let's see how this will compare to the M3. This is probably going to get a DI 420-440bhp engine and the same rear biased AWD from the RS4. This car is going to need the extra power because it's going to be heavier than the M3. We have some excitement to look forward to in the coming year or two. |

| Re: Audi RS5 thread. I am 99% that the engine in RS5 will be V8 4.2 FSI 420 HP, also known from RS4 B7. But I wouldn't mind some extra power...M3 will be lighter than RS5 and RS5 will have AWD, which means that in straight line, we probably know who's the winner. But we also know that driving is not just a straight line and that's where Audi will be better than M3. Just guessing. |

| Re: Audi RS5 thread. Audi needs to put the 5.2 lt V10 with 480 hp (same engine with V10 R8) in the RS5. 420 hp are not enough. |
