those wheels do not match.....
and i thought quattro, that division that makes the RS models, said that they would only produce one RS model at a time.....

[Zytek_Fan]

quattro GmBH is allowed to do what they see fit.

They said that they were considering changing their mind a while ago. I guess they have.

Awesome. I love how the HP wars are still going for the Germans. The Americans, not so much, with high gas prices and all.

Absolutely wonderful, better than BMW I'd like to say.

It's too early to say but I doubt this will be better than the M3.

[LTSmash]

That is definitely one of the better looking Audi's other that the R10 and DTM.... if you count those.

[fisetdavid26]

RS 5 does sound very good to me.

I'm awaiting further news before I start to speculate.

sick, give it 500bhp and im sold, awd c63

Ferrer defending BMW? Shocking.

If I was Audi I'd do the car with two massive turbos on a V6. I suspect that would allow for better fuel economy than the V8s in the C63, IS-F and M3, but with turbos it could theoretically have more hp.

I meant it in terms of looks. How far off of the BMW's performance can it be anyway? A couple of ticks here, a couple there?

If it's a V8, V10, perhaps forced induction, it's bound to make craploads of power, and even with the weight 4WD system, it should help it out a bit. The M3 isn't all that powerful, when you compare it to the C63 AMG. Is there a CLK63 AMG by the way, or a coupe version of the C63 AMG?

Erm..., I drive a BMW...

I've always defended how they drive.

I wasn't speaking in terms of straight line performance, I'm sure the Audi will be plenty fast.

However in terms of the driving experience I doubt this will be better than the M3. The M3 has that kind of balance that can only be found in cars that have been developed with the driver in mind. It's something that it's very difficult to translate into words but it's car that feels just right.

The Audi will have a lot power and grip but I doubt it'll be as delicate and as balanced as the BMW.

True, but if it comes out to be a better performer than the RS4, then it has got to be amazing.

That's right. It's the looks department where we differ.
