The middle version of the 3 seats look good. The one in the first pictures of the interior look lame.

They are, just not for all positions, the back tilt is manual, but everything to do with the base is power.

Oh my God... What an amazingly beautiful car... The best looking Coup? out there. Outragous. Goodbye M3.

+1. This is such an aggresive looking coupe. Leaves the competitors in its dust.
February 20, 2010 6:48 pm
Took them long enough...
This surely has the potential to roughen up the M3.

audi fanboys coming to a conclusion that this will "kill" the 3-4 year old m3 is pretty funny. at least wait for a test. i can see this car as being faster on a straight, considering it has more power to weight ratio than the m3. but doubt it will come close to the handling, and performance on the track which m cars excel in and set the bar for. lets wait and see. also remember theres an m3 gts in town as well.

the old gen RS4 is still considered an E90 M3 competitor, so you have to ask yourself who's really being the fanboy?

Actually, according to my sources, the RS5 is about 1 second faster than the M3 Coup? in Hockenheim short track. It's also faster around the Nurburgring.

well what do you expect from a car that beats a car 4 years old. if it wasnt it would be a big fail for audi wouldnt it? pretty much the cycle. the next m3 and m5 are gonna trump this coming rs5 and the rs6. im a bimmer fan anyday not blindly, cause i own one and very happy with it. and i still think the m3 is one sexy car. would own for sure in the near future

Breathtaking car, beautiful all the ways with all those details and killer interior, Audi at his best.
There's a new kid on the block, M3 watch yourself.

Obviously it is fantastic. Now what I would really like to see Audi do is a light-weight hard-edged version. A modern day Ur-Quattro. Similar to the contrast between a 911 turbo and a 911 GT3 RS. The RS5 looks to be an amazing grand tourer. Perhaps even on par with its corporate cousin the Continental GT.

a stripped RS5 with carbon fiber body panels, no satnav, no AC, no radio, lightweight seats, plastic side and rear windows, no electric windows, manual transmission , that would be my kind of car !
when i was a kid, a guy in my village had an unregistered Audi 80 turbo quattro, his 13 year old son used to take the other kids and we played rally on the dirt roads around the village, that was fun.

I don't think it would be a rally version, perhaps a DTM race version. Hopefully you can buy it straight from audi like the LMS R8 :).

That Car is beautiful! hopefully the official word on the powerplant will be as appealing.. It sounded awesome in the spy vids

It's an update version of the RS4's high revving V8 engine with 450 ps.
February 20, 2010 7:57 pm
I was inclined to say the V8 also, but look closely at the close-up picture of the rev-counter. In that picture, look to the right where the time and date are. It says 5.2.2010--maybe it's just a coincidence that they took the pic on that day, but I think it's hinting at the fact that it will have some form of the 5.2 V10. Hopefully.

Interesting observation but with all the downsizing going on I highly doubt it.
February 20, 2010 8:22 pm
Too much of a coincidence to pass up, had to bring it up. It's probably going to be a V8, but it will have at least 450bhp, I'm guessing 480bhp.
February 21, 2010 12:49 am
I was interested in what engine the RS5 may have under the bonnet and I noticed it has the same rev line as the R8 V10. So maybe there is something very big and powerful under there, we'll just have to wait n see :)
February 20, 2010 9:06 pm
Ok so Ive seen on another site it may be a high reving V8, 450 bhp at 8250 rpm. We'll just have to wait n see :)

Having the pics and no numbers for the RS5 is useless. Audi's RS bodykit always looks the same, so a quick trip to Photoshop with an A5 and a TTRS pic would've solved that whole conundrum. Plus those wheels are straight off the recent A1 show car, and those seats are already on others too.
As for engine rumours, it's likely to be a hotted up version of the S5 Cabrio's Supercharged V6, I reckon. The power of a V8, the economy of a V6. Or they'll go mental and put a fettled R10 TDI engine in there. But probably not.

I agree. Not really to much going on here aside from some new rims and bumpers. But the grandmas on this board rant and rave over some little tidbit additions just to be on the bandwagon....pathetic. At least with the M3, you can't simply go to the parts department and buy yourself some bumpers and mufflers for your 335i. The only slightly forward design aspect I see here is if that rear spoiler rises at speed. But if audi decides not to go with a manual transmission....
Bored to death,
