Audi is going through a bit of a styling
transformation right now, but even though the RS5 is not included in it, it
would definitely be a show-stealer in shooting brake form. Penned by RainPrisk using the
regular Coupe as a starting point, the result is a two-door with a longer
roofline that ends in a tailgate – plus a very ‘loud’ body kit.
Appearing to have been influenced by something
Liberty Walk would do, bar the visible bolts, it gets widened fenders all
around, new side skirts, a rear bumper with a large diffuser and a roof-mounted
wing. Elsewhere, the digitally imagined RS5 shooting brake sports mid-mounted
dual exhaust pipes, generously sized wheels shod with Dunlop tires, and gets
some of the exterior lines rearranged.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you already
know that the real RS5 Coupe challenges the likes of the BMW M4 and
Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe. It’s powered by a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine that
delivers 450 PS and 600 Nm of torque to both axles.
The 0-100 km/h sprint takes 3.9 seconds,and
the speedometer will eventually stop at 280 km/h if you have chosen the
optional dynamic package. It’s quite obvious that such a car will never happen, but as
mentioned above, it’s definitely a head-turner. Which, after all, is the point
of such endeavors.
