Audi RS5 Latest Spy Photos From Worldcarfans
Anyone else getting bored waiting for these new models ?
Audi's 2010 RS5 coupe has once again been spotted undergoing high performance testing on Germany's famous Nürburgring. While the new photos don't reveal any additional details, the matte black paint scheme is simply out of this world. Up front, the RS5 is distinguished by larger, more aggressive air intakes and a revised mesh grille. Other styling tweaks include 15-spoke alloy wheels, a more pronounced rear spoiler, and a massive dual exhaust system.
As we have previously reported, the RS5 will come equipped with a powerful 4.2-liter V8 engine with at least 450hp (331kW). Boasting quattro AWD and a standard six-speed manual transmission (a seven-speed R Tronic gearbox will be optional), the RS5 is expected to accelerate from 0-100km/h in less than 5 seconds. Audi will likely limit the top speed to 250km/h (155mph), but aftermarket tuners will surely fix that.

IMO that's kind of a bummer. Obviously 5.2FSI V10 is too much to ask, but the 4.2 gets a *yawn out of me, even at 450 hp. For what is probably going to be a $80k+ car, that's going to be pretty lackluster.
