Audi RS5
Motor Trend reported that the RS5 would be available in US market.
[16] However, this remains completely unsubstantiated in Europe.
It is anticipated that the RS5 will feature a slightly modified version of the 4.2 litre V8 that is found in the B7 RS4, but will have approximately 450 hp. Significant changes in design include a revised intake system with dual air intakes compared to the single air intake in the RS4. There is also conjecture about the RS5 featuring the
V10 from the Audi RS6. This, however, is considered less likely as it would put the price range of the RS5 beyond that of its chief rivals, the
BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.
On 20 February a series of images from an RS5 sales brochure were leaked on the internet.
[17] It is understood the RS5 will be officially released at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March.
