Audi RS5 Spied with Retractable Rear Spoiler - Ur-quattro revival rumours surface

I believe it's a way of saying Original-Quattro in german.

look: Ur-(german)= primal {adj} ancient {adj} original {adj}

FYI.......RS5 and M3 is a totally different competing class cars......

no they're not. they're both roughly the same size, price, and based upon the chassis of the mini-exec in their respective ranges (the A4 and the 3-Series). they also have similar power outputs and weights.

the A5 series is in the same class range as the BMW 6-series

The A5 is in the class range of the 3-series coupe: look at size, weight, engine offerings, and price. It makes sense. You can't pit an A5 against something that costs twice as much.

I always thought of BMW 3 series Coupe vs A5, 3 series sedan vs A4, 5 series vs A6 and 6 series vs 911...

Apparently the RS5 will have a more powerful version of the RS4's 4.2L V8 (which is great news, its a fantastic engine). Its going to have around 335KW apparently. This Ur quattro sounds like it might be the answer to the M3 CSL and AMG Black series. I can't wait to see it.

u misunderstood something: the RS5 will come out soon with a 450 BHP V8. Besides that Audi is planning an Ur-Quattro revival on the A5 platform, this one is expected to hit the showrooms in 2011 with a Biturbo V6 and less than 1400kg.

wtf?? this car (RS5) will be released this year! it is the Ur-Quattro successor that will be released in 2,3 years!

RS5 will be out this year probably at Frankfurt Motor Show. First deliveries by 2010 Q1-Q2

because now they have A4 B8 and the last RS4 was based on the previous (B7) A4. Also Audi entered into the mid-size coupe market with the A5 series. Just remember what BMW did with the current 3 Series. The also did focus more on the 3 coupe sport version (M3 coupe) and later on they introduced the sedan and avant variants as well from the M3... This is what Audi is doing now as well. The RS5 will be unveiled probably this year at Frankfurt while the RS4 Avant is set to debut 12-16 months later. It is unlikely that there will be an RS4 Sedan again because Audi is introducing on July 16, 2009 the A5 Sportback which will compete in the 4-door-coupe segment and it's quite sure that there will be soon a S5 Sportback and RS5 Sportback. It's all about product life-cycles. In 2011-12 it is possible that there will be a period when Audi offers a wide range of RS cars, including RS5, RS5 sportback and RS 4 Avant while BMW will renew its 3 Series and for a short time there will be no M3 available on the market...

Truly pathetic... Then again, I would be scared too if I was a BMW fan, look at what happened when the B7 RS4 came out. Looks like we are definitely in for a repeat with the RS5.
