Agree

Both M3 V8 and RS4 have 420hp

Yes, but do we know the weight of the 3series and A5 because that would be a big factor to look at? The A5 looks bigger than the 3er to me.

Very hot! I really hope this is the real deal. It would be super crazy if this car was fitted with the V10 as Yannis suggested sometime back. (I guess Audi wants to save that for the RS6 debut) Anyway the V8 should work just fine.

My point is that RS4 cars never had the same output with M cars. Look at previous RS4 , this RS4 , the previous RS6 and for sure the new one.

So if the M3 has 420 hp then the next RS4 and RS5 will have more. Simple as that.

Yannis, I don't think that's so simple... E92 M3 isn't out yet. Very soon after new M3 comes on the market, will be out RS5. The time difference won't be big. So that's why I think that it's posible that RS5 will have well known engine from RS4. But I'm not saying that for sure. I really hope that It will come with tuned V8 4.2 FSI to 450 HP for example.

You are right- it will be crazy fitting a V10 into this car, and that is why it won't happen.
