Spy Report

It appears that we caught Audi engineers working on an RS5 prototype in the California desert. The aggressively revised front fascia carries all of the menacing design traits of Audi's other RS models, but it looks particularly fetching on the already seductive A5 coupe. The fog lamps have been removed in favor of extra breathing ducts to cool the engine and brakes--just as on Audi's recently-released RS6. This prototype doesn't yet have all the expected RS cues--namely the signature dual oval exhaust tips (it still has the quad oval tips from the S5)--but it is wearing silver side mirrors (another of Audi's RS design signatures).

The RS6 sports some subtly flared bodywork, but it remains to be seen whether the RS5 will get a similar treatment. The other questions obviously focus around what's under the hood. The Audi RS6 is powered by the latest direct-injection, twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V10, generating 580 hp at 6,250 rpm with 479 pound-feet of torque at just 1,500 rpm. A similar application in the RS5 would obviously be most welcome.

Perso, je m'en lasse de cette A/S/RS5. Présence incontestable qui attire l'oeil, mais je trouve la ligne pataude, molle. En plus c'est vraiment gros.
