Re: Audi RS5 Thread (Spy pics & info)

Yes it is. That would be nice. Those RS6-style fenders would be killer on the S5 body I think.

Re: Audi RS5 Thread (Spy pics & info)

friend of mine wrote in and got this reply:

"This exclusive is in a long line of CAR scoops on upcoming cars: note the rag outs of the BMW M1 and ‘new Metro’ covers in the Great Drives section. In fact, that ‘new Metro’ cover is a great example. Did the Metro turn out to look like that...?

Our exclusive is a genuine exclusive because it is based on accurate, inside information. Giving the ACTUAL WEEK that Audi currently plans to start production is not conjecture, in my book. Likewise for the technical information, which is sourced through our German informants. And in Georg Kacher, CAR has the most respected, feared and well-connected journalist in the European press pack. It is a story you should take seriously.

As for the visuals, CAR Magazine is about stunning imagery, and we took the decision to render the RS5’s look to create a beautiful cover. Our RS5 images were far less a leap of faith than that Metro cover was! The days of taped up mules on the cover ended in the mid-90s: our rivals frequently run rendered exclusives, based on far less detailed information. CAR only puts a scoop image on the cover when we know we have the information to back it up. We’ve done it twice in my 20 months as editor, with the M3 and Focus RS – both of which turned out to be on the money.

When the RS5 comes out, cross-refer the facts to our article. I suspect you’ll come to agree that the glass is more than half full, rather than as empty as you and the contributors on this thread suggest. And that stands for everything in CAR Magazine.

With very best regards

Interesting reply, but the main issue I have is that they pretend they have test drove the car and compared it to the M3.

Nope, that's just another one of CAR magazine's renderings. The front is completely different in the spy shots.

Audi RS5 coming to 2009 Detroit Auto Show, no RS6 for U.S.


Late last month our spy photographers captured images of the still-in-development Audi RS5, and now word has leaked that the car will make its world debut at the Detroit Auto Show in 2009. Unfortunately, however, it will not be accompanied by the 2009 RS6, which is off the table for American sale.
