Not 2 distract from the AweSome GM Cadillac CTS-V,
but I was curious on what member's thought
of the below R5 with 580+HP ?
The Bums & I have cleaned several Audi's, and they
make a great ride....& super quality materials.
I've driven the TT, but not a RS, but
would luv 2 test drive one....4-Sure
What do you `think ?

Spied: 2010 Audi RS 5

Audi's mega-hot RS 5 coupe is still scheduled for production, but don't expect to see it until 2010.

April 2009





Slideshow: 2010 Audi RS 5 >>
Slideshow >>

We first reported that a hotter variant of the Audi A5/S5 coupe was under development in our November 2007 issue. Back then, we only had a photo-illo to show what we thought an RS 5 coupe would look like. Since that time, RS 5 prototypes have been spotted in Death Valley, California, and more recently undergoing high-speed testing at the Nürburgring. Unfortunately, although rumors suggested the new RS 5 coupe would be seen for the first time in production trim at the Frankfurt auto show this September, an Audi insider told us the RS 5 "won't be seen at any auto show in 2009."
Despite the test mule's "S5" badging, the car seen here is clearly the new RS 5 — and looking quite production ready, we might add. The prototype's reworked front end — with significantly larger air intakes beneath the headlights — and a new, larger rear bumper sporting the signature "RS" series twin oval exhaust tips, hint that this car is built for speed. Other RS cues include the massive, cross-drilled front brake rotors and 20-in. triple-spoke wheels. No doubt the RS 5 will also sport significantly stiffer suspension than the S5.
Still up for discussion is the engine for this all-wheel-drive machine. Originally we thought the RS 5 might use Audi's 5.2-liter V-10 from the S6 and S8 sedans, but a more likely (and much more exciting) possibility is that it will use the twin-turbo version that powers the RS 6 Avant, to the tune of 580 bhp. But the latest rumor suggests that, in an effort to keep the coupe's cost down, the RS 5 will use Audi's normally aspirated 4.2-liter V-8, tweaked to between 450-470 bhp. For comparison purposes, the last Audi RS 4 sedan had a V-8 with 420 bhp.
We expect to see the new Audi RS 5 Coupe in early 2010, going on sale later that year

I'd take the Audi over the Caddy any day. Simply because it looks so much sexier. It's more my style. Sleek and curvy. Instead of sharp and boxy.

I'd take the cadillac over that audi anyday :P

Maybe I'm just GM biased... but I do love me a caddy.

As far as sleek and sexy > boxy and sharp...



I prefer me, boxy :P

I hope they do a comparsion test when they hit the road.
I noticed there aren't any prices on this high performance coupes.

That why I'm hoping that GM decides to make one 4 us poor

Oh come on now... That Camaro is out of the Audi and Caddy's league. The only thing I would change on that beautiful gray one is the hood. Put the stock one back on and then we're talkin'

I really don't like cowl hoods.

Some boxy/square design is very bad though. Take the early 80's BMW's... EW! But I guess you're talking more American though, right? lol
