Audi RS5 leaked images
February 21st, 2010 Posted in Audi
Following the news the Audi RS5 will be released at the Geneva Motor Show comes these leaked images from a forthcoming sales brochure. There’s 28 images in all, but not a lot of written detail is given.
There are no shots of the engine bay, but we’re still expecting to see a normally aspirated V8 under the bonnet to be badged as a 4.2 FSI HDZ. Peak power from the high-rev concept engine should be around the 330kW (450PS) mark. Looking at one of the pics below redline starts around 8200rpm, and it looks like you may be able to extend past that a little. Maybe?
You can see that there will be three choices for seating and four alloy wheel designs to choose from. As expected there is no manual gearbox shown, so it will be S tronic only for now. Hopefully a 6-speed manual transmission is released later at a later date. It would also seem apparent that Audi’s familiar flat bottomed steering wheel is not standard equipment, with all interior shots showing a conventionally shaped wheel. This is offset by the fact it can be optioned in alcantara, along with the S tronic shifter.
So, for now, just feast your eyes on these images and let your excitement build in anticipation for official details to be announced soon. Make sure you click on the pics below to load the larger 1460px sizing.
UPDATE 23 Feb: Official details and images have now been released by Audi.

@Njave the images first surfaced on the TeamSpeed forums, but I was probably one of the first to get them on a blog and spread the word.

I also just added a new para about the engine, based on information already given in previous AUSmotive articles.

Nice. Any word on pricing?
I think they should delete the soft sport seat option on the right!!!

No word on pricing Dave, but I’d speculate somewhere around B7 RS4 money, p’raps a bit more. So start saving your pennies for AU$180K+.

Shite. Expensive! Didn’t realise the RS4 was that much!
Going by the pics it looks like the spoiler is retractable? That’s one thing lacking that irks me about the TTRS.

This has an Aston DBS feel to it. Taking a sleek and sexy coupe and injecting it with steroids. I think it looks like a proper hot rod, and will do what I can to get my hands on one!

The redline goes to 8250 RPM, exactly the same as the RS4 and R8.
If it does make 450 odd hp then I rekon its probably going to end up in the R8 too.
God its going to be costly though, especially here in Aus. Hopefully it depreciates like hell and goes below the 100k mark in about 3 years time.
