Yeah right! Like you gonna blow 105K US dollars on this car! The fanboys here are pathetic, especially the American ones.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The prices for cars in Europe are inflated compared to prices for cars in the US. Rule of thumb: the number EUR will be close to the number in $. This was true of the R8 V10, among the thousands of other cars sold both in the US and in Europe. People who don't check there facts before posting are pathetic, especially the ones who just assume bad things about another country.

Whoa! Nice move Audi! Hopefully they have kept the weight in check.

That's not too bad, I was expecting more. Let's hope the locking diff and torque vectoring can give the M3 some competition. It's good to keep the flame under BMWs feet so that they don't get complacent.

Edison, it seems so.
According to my info, the RS5 is 10 seconds faster than the RS4 in the Nurburgring, wich makes it 6 seconds faster than the M3 and 14 seconds faster than the C 63 AMG in the same track.

I've driven Audi's new sport differential and it works brilliantly. Up to 85% power to rear wheels!

Superb! But i like the interior of the TT-RS more. Too many butons in this one.

BMW better be taking notes... this is going to be a class leader for a while! :)

Oh God no! The Sportback is a disaster in terms of design. Horrible roofline.

Heavier than M3 But faster and better! 10.8 liters per km. Audi : VORSPRUNG DURCH INGOLSTADT TECHNIK!

I have second thoughts on this being an M3 killer. Seriously the S5 has more torque, and a 0-60 thats only .3 seconds slower. Great car, but not quite what I was expecting.

I am very disappointed with the absence of a proper 6-speed manual gearbox. Otherwise, this is a dream car. I don't care if it beats the M3 or not.

Same here. I don't care if it's 7- or 17-speed s-tronic or whatever, and I really don't care if it has the latest technology. I just want my car with three pedals and a stick. And that's not gonna change as long as I can use my two feet and two hands.
What's next anyway ? A joystick instead of a steering wheel ? Or voice-controlled direction changes ? No, thanks.

i don?t get the point. times change. dual clutch trannies are now much faster than manuals. why do u want the slower transmission? how can it be fun to have the slowest option. with a dual clutch tranny u can purely concentrate on ur driving skills, like all pro race drivers do. do u need to do more to have more fun?
February 22, 2010 8:27 pm

For some people it's not about being faster all of the time. It's about the involvement and interaction with the car. Every car that I've owned has been a manual, because automatics are just too boring IMO.
February 22, 2010 8:50 pm
2010S5
Because a couple-hundredth-seconds slower does not mean shit to me. I like to be in full control.

I don't buy (or dream about) cars because they are the fastest or the most powerful. I just love them because of the way they look in- and outside, the way their engines sound, the way they make me feel when I get behind their wheels. I never feel the need to compare the cars I love and admire performance-wise against their so-called competitors, so I do not, and never will, care about that less-than-a-second loss of my dear close-ratio short-travel manual transmission with a leather-wrapped gearlever.
February 22, 2010 10:27 pm
catchmyshadow
a DCT gives u more control cause u can totally focus on the steering, braking and accelerating and it is also much safer cause both hands are on the steering wheel all the time. guys, let?s face it:
The days of three pedals are ratcheting down to a close.
February 23, 2010 9:51 am
Imasa
You may be right. And that is a shame. However, I disagree that the automatic is safer. You probably haven't driven manual lately. Manual driving requires your full attention and concentration. You really drive the car. Automatic drives you.

It will be powerfull than the V8 R8? I don?t know this is good news... I rather M3 any day, and wait and see the new M3 gen... nice rims ?though...

When every car in this class comes out, some people are always saying "this is gonna be an M3 killer". Haven't you learn anything from all these years, you're just fooling yourself with every new Merc, Lexus or Audi...RS5 Beautiful car btw!!

i agree. just like nothing will will "kill" the S class or the Range Rover, the M3 is basically un touchable.
February 22, 2010 9:08 pm

Honestly if this car were what it was really meant to be, I think M3s and GT-Rs would be shitting themselves. But for now, I think BMW and Mercedes are all having a good laugh. One of the most eager-anticipated Audis of all time..quite a disappointment.

Killer or not, this is not important. The true is that this is magnificent car !

don't worry audi fans of the usa we will have this vehicle here in the next year or so.

I can hear it screaming on the road already! This is a masterpiece along with all its other models!

WoW!!! This car is beautiful. i really like it, but i doubt it will be an "M3 KILLER" it has a little more hp, but weights more too. i think it will be close though.

This is the car Hitman should have been driving. Maybe they will make part II. Once again when every one goes for electronically controlled awd system like BMW's slip and go, Audi finds a mechanical solution. Seems a bit slow to 60 I was hopping for flat 4s. Well beautiful car anyways.
