Revealed: Audi RS5!

We weren't supposed to find out about this until next week, but call it an early Geneva Present. Ready? OK.

Audi has revealed the RS5 - a 444bhp rival for the BMW M3 Coupe - ahead of its Geneva debut after brochure details were leaked onto the internet by some naughty rapscallions of loose morals.

See more pics of the RS5

But to heck with the back-story. Let's kick off with the Big Numbers: the four-wheel-drive RS5 will crack 62mph in 4.6 seconds and run to 155mph - unless you ask Audi very nicely to remove the limiter, in which case it'll hit 174mph. Yes, it's faster - and more powerful - than the M3 Coupe.

That 444bhp comes courtesy of a reworked version of the R8's 4.2-litre V8, making a full 30bhp more and driving all four wheels through a seven-speed DSG gearbox. A new centre diff feeds 60 per cent of the torque to the rear wheels in normal driving, but can send up to 85 per cent to the rear - or 70 per cent to the front - in extreme conditions. Oh, and you can turn the ESP off. Like, properly off. Good.

Visual differences from the S5 could best be described as ‘subtle': there's a new front splitter and bigger air intakes, with a retractable spoiler round the back that raises at 75mph, a feature officially known as the ‘Ooh, look at me, officer!' wing.

We're expecting the RS5 to cost around £60,000 when it goes on sale later this year, making it more expensive than that M3 Coupe. We'll bring you more details from the Geneva show next week. Waddya think, y'all?

The Audi A5 is one of the example to show the Audi clear pledge to performance in technology and design and accepts its own answers to the most important questions and the biggest challenges in car manufacturing.



With the Audi A5, Audi projects the brand claim into a new market segment and paves the way for an entirely new driving experience. Precision and agility, together with exceptional performance on the road, determine its expressive formal language and overall harmony of its character.

As a sports coupe of strong character in a new market segment, the design of the Audi A5 interprets sporty elegance in a new way. Short body overhangs together with the long wheelbase; long bonnet and large alloy wheels represent a clear pledge to performance and confirm its sporty credentials. The fact that the architecture of this sports coupe is suited to its overall width further underscores these credentials.

With a wide range of powerful engines available from the market launch onwards, the Audi A5 guarantees outstanding road dynamics and unlimited driving pleasure. The suspension settings, with low spring rates are well-proven driveline technologies including quattro permanent fourwheel drive add further agility and ensure a high level of driving safety.

The Audi A5 is also equipped with 5-link front suspension for sporty precise steering response and also the 19" Allow Wheels wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport.

The Audi Drive Select buttons are neatly placed near the leather wrapped shift knob.

This allows the driver to set the car in motion smoothly without having to operate the handbrake. The Electromechanical parking brake, holds the car standstill and includes drive-off assistance and emergency braking function when on the move at all four wheels.
