Audi RS5 "spotted" on the ring

Clearly a stunt, but I'm excited about this car. If the RS6 is anything to go by, this should be a jaw-droppingly sexy and preposterous coupé.

However, if the price of a brand-new S5 and RS4 is anything to go by, I think there will be plenty of other (and better) choices out there for the money (brand new OR second hand).

hear that v8...it makes me sex wee

Bennie-Mac · 20 Jan 2009 at 11:10

I was hoping for the V10 from the RS6

Toker · 20 Jan 2009 at 11:13

no way, v10's sound crap compared to v8's!!!

I'm so glad they've released another v8 application, with the rs6 changing to v10 and the rs4 changing to v6

The current RS4 is a V8 isn't it?

In your opinion

I would be more concerned with the 450bhp or whatever it is under the bonnet

And the RS4 is still a V8 is it not? Edit beaten!

I believe so yes.

Well the current RS4 wont see 414bhp so not sure how they plan to get 450bhp from the same engine...

[TW]Fox · 20 Jan 2009 at 11:26

I didnt think there was a current RS4 anymore?

I was talking about the RS6s V10

Edit - Sorry didnt read the pistonheads page

the B7 RS4 is a V8 but the next RS4 is going to be a supercharged V6

a re-tuned version of this:

because I posted the one with information on the engine instead, I'll provide you with every detail in the future, since your googling skills fail

Yes but your original post was regarding how the RS4 was going to get the new V6, then the link you posted had nothing to do with the RS4.

as I decided to post a link with information about the engine it is going to receive, as the engine was the point in question

Unfortunately I over-estimated peoples ability to google if they require more information on the actual car, I won't make that mistake again. I'm only familiar with Harvard and Vancouver citation styles, which would be preferred?
