E65 and SLR are completely different cars standing alone in their own segment. RS5 and RS6 are also different but very close in Audi model line up.

However there is a similar comparison in what you are saying between the S6 (435 PS) and S8 (450PS) so you may well be right Yannis.

So would you say that engine evolution will also occur in next RS4

From what i have heard A5 can take the 5.2 lt V10 under the hood and quite possibly the next A4 will be able to do so but there are no certain information if Audi intends to make a V10 powered RS5.
It's very possible that a new 4.6 lt V8 will be used or the current 4.2 lt of current RS4.

New engines are always nice, but expensive. 4,6 V8 would do the trick I think. Now that Audi has put the engine on the right side of the front axle they will probably want to keep the engine as short as possible. Then the current 4,2 V8 could be fitted in next generation S4/5 for example.

I cant wait to test drive one.

I'm still pretty sure that RS5 will have V8 4.2 FSI (420 HP) from RS4 B7. Yes of course they can fit V10 5.2 under the hood of A5, no problem. But is it worth it?

lol so for audi to prove themselves as contenders they shouldnt make the engine any better

If it has the 5.2l V10 that thing is going to understeer like crazy. Too much weight for this car.

In terms of looks the S5 is in a class above the M3, the only thing that's yet to be determined is performance imo!
