2010 Audi RS5 to get 4.2L V8 from RS4, Cabriolet RS5 in the works 
The next-generation Audi RS4 is rumored to be get the same supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6 from the 2010 S4 but will be messed around with a bit to produce 400-hp. So what happens to that beefy naturally aspirated 4.2L V8? According to CAR, that engine will find its way under the hood of the upcoming Audi RS5 and will be twin-turbocharged to produce a total 450-hp with a peak torque of 332 lb-ft. That will allow a 0 to 62 time in the low 4.-something seconds.

I knew it would get the 4.2! Tuners are going to go ape sh!t with this thing.
And you know Audi will dick around, I also predict a sticker of $85-90K.

And Audi will once again price the car at 70K.
If they want to compete with the M3 market, they need to lower their prices.
I mean, my S4 Avant 6 speed MSRP was something absurd like 58K!
