    New RS5

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I had an S5 for 8 months before I traded it for the S6. Loved it for different reasons. Here is the new RS5. Very nice. Can't wait to see the new S6 coming soon! And those wheels...hhmmm....I wonder what they would look like on my S6??

    I'm disappointed with it to be honest. V6?!?! And if the s6/7 goes v6 then we have a great platform that should be easier to sell being the only affordable twin turbo v8

    Those wheels are hideous...but to each their own!

    Can't wait to see what these will do performance-wise stock and after a tune

    Me neither but my wife loves them. The Sportback 5 looks like a smaller 7 to me. Not bad...

    An RS should look aggressive. The rs6/7 does even the new rs3 sedan a bit. This looks like old man rivers land yacht. £70k dreamin!

    Still can't get over the mew styling. Maybe it will grow on me with time. And yes those wheels are terrible. V6TT makes sense since they are pushing for fuel economy. Regardless- I will be looking for an S6/7 in an year or so. Gotta grab that V8TT while I can.

    Not a big fan of any of the new Audi design platforms, (A4, A5, Q7), Hoping the C8 breaks this pattern, but not very confident at this point.

    Wow. That's… unique.

    The B8/B8.5 was beautiful. Can't leave well enough alone, I guess.

    I look at the car and can't help think a VW badge would look at home on this.

    Maybe in person it looks better. I remember the first time I saw a picture of the R8 I hated it, but when I viewed it in person that all changed.

    Yeah, I'd take a B8.5 RS5 over that no question.

    Same. The throttle response from the 3.0T was insanely good.

    Those wheels are OK if you like the five spoke look. You can get aftermarket wheels that fit, cost less and look better than OEM wheels.

    RS5 sportback looks pretty damn similar to the 7s...think they're worried about cannibalizing sales?

    I agree. I thought I saw a few concept photos floating around on the internet of the RS5 and it had some very aggressive fenders. The SportBack definitely looks way better than the Coupe to me.

    Starting to consider ordering a sportback when they come available for my daily and keep the RS7 parked for joy rides. More encouraged since it's a twin turbo verses a twin scroll. The tuners will have this new platform performing extremely well in no time.
