Audi RS5: V8 450hp @ 8250rpm

That's very high rev for a piston engine.

Very likely since there'll be no RS4. They need something to fill that gap.

i have a friend who owns a rs4 (the model before this car, in wagon form).

fun factor 0%....no possible to get oversteer.....that car (if you like "sportscar") is pointless.
only an "Autobahn USS-Enterprise" to move fast from A to B.

Sometimes it's not about oversteer, but the tremendous amount of AWD grip. I personally also love the Evo X, but I think the RS4 is worth the cost in luxury and name brand.

that car is badass. sadly, i haven't heard anything about it coming here to the US. S5 sales are slow, and people are actually buying the 2.0t A5 which is grossly underpowered especially in quattro trim.

i bet the rs5 still gets 25 mpg highway.

i can assure that both Impreza STI and EVOX are turning a lot better than this car......no biased opinion , just truth...

great car , but not for winding roads...the rx8 is a jewel compared to this one. BTW Audi is very safe and fast in all wheater condition

ah..weight...Audi official data say 1725kg...about 3800 lbs, without options...you can easily have a car around 4000 lbs...

that looks like an awesome new car from audi to compete with the M3 coupe. I always liked the RS4 but thought it would be alot better if it came in coupe form.
