I don't know - I'm disappointed. It looks VERY tame, esp. compared to the B7 RS4 and the latest RS6. The new TT-RS is also very tame.

I don't need a bright orange LP-640, but if I have a monster, esp. in a coupe, I want it to look more aggressive than the vanilla S5. My next car is going to be a jaw-dropper, I can promise you that.

Seriously!!!! It's pretty annoying when these Euro Manufactures come out with these special editions, etc. and we can only drool at them from afar!!

The V12 Vantage is the one of the cars I pray they would bring to the states, stupid EPA/Crash Safety!!!

I had been praying the RS6 would come here. I would have bought one.

While the front grill and bumper looks like an RS5 I don't think the rest of the car is the finished product.

I thought Audi confirmed power was coming from a NA V8? Where did the TT V8 rumour come from?

I didn't know that so few RS Audis made it across the ocean? The RS6 is such a sweet car. There's a Suzuka Grey one living right in the middle of my city and I see every other week rumbling around

edit: quattro joe. I remember reading that confirmation as well, so this was a bit unexpected. Both BMW and Audi are from now on dropping those high revving beauties due to emission and consumption legislation I guess.

V8 twin turbo is very good for mods. Great car. Can be my next purchase.

Guaranteed to be a hit. I'm disappointed with how tame it is though, no flared fenders or R8 style integrated exhaust into the bumper.

I like the wheels, but they better be 20", with impressive brakes behind them.
