I have done around 300 miles today mostly in Traffic jams. I was stationary next to a Black A5 3.0l diesel for ages.

Am I going mad or is it one of the sexiest cars on the road? Love that curvy line that goes from front to back.

Basicaly its frigging gorgeous are they making an RS 5? why do I never hear people talking about its looks
Is it just me?

No its not just you. They are very good looking for what they are. I hope very much that they make an RS5 as I would put the notes down instead of for a 911 like a shot.

Talk is V8 TT engine producing 450bhp, which would give in the region of 4.4 0-62. With a good suspension setup and a rear biased 4wd, as with the RS4, and an aggresive body kit it would look, sound and drive amazing. I am sure with a few tweaks you could have better performance by upping the boost and derestricting the exhaust, and still have paid 10k less than a 911 "s".

I hope they do it.

Ha Ha. Obviously someone really cares to make such a cock up!

S5, by the way, feels nothing close to a performance car. Cosidering how it uses almost the same 4.2 as the RS4, its so much slower, so much quieter and feels very heavy to drive.

They should do an RS5 as it would be easy to do and would kick the M3's arse. But I don't suppose they will.

It's one of those cars that doesn't look particularly spectacular in magazines, but is transformed when you see it in the metal... I saw a silver one a few weeks ago and I thought it had definite overtones of Aston Martin. Very subtle...

Saw my first one on the motorway yesterday and yes, they do look sexy, much better in the metal than in pictures. Real WOW when it went past.
