All-New Audi RS5 Coupe
Those of you expecting even more
performance should watch out for the inbound flagship RS5 model.
This car was spotted recently by Carscoops spy
photographers close to the Nurburgring, we can see
that Audi's engineers have thinned down the camouflage and added more
production ready parts, including the fascia, bumpers and wider fenders.
The RS5 is a more aggressive car than the A5 or the
S5 for that matter, and as the top of the line version of the A5 lineup, it
will obviously be the most dynamic one as well. Powering the all-new RS5 will be the same unit
expected to make its way into the new RS4, namely a newly developed 3.0-liter
V6 rumored to get either two conventional turbochargers, or a small electric
turbocharger delivering close to 500 horses.
As it's primed to go up against the likes
of the BMW M4 and Mercedes-AMG C63 & C63 S, the RS5 will need all the power
it can muster and so the 500 PS actually make sense seen as how the C63 S
produces 510 PS of its own.
Inside, the RS5 should be looking at the same amount
of tech as the S5, though minor changes can be expected, such as new or
different materials & designs for the center console or the seats, RS5
graphics integrated in the virtual cockpit and so on.
We might see the new RS5 in all of its
glory, it could be as early as March 2017 in Geneva so stay tuned.
