Just put name down for new RS5..

[SR71]

Because Audi have moved away in a different direction and gone N/A....... perhaps you missed the lack of turbos on the RS4 and R8?????

Well I'll be surprised if there aren't turbos on the C6 RS6 or the RS5...

There is no way you'll get 580hp out of a 4.2 V8 or 5.0 V10 without turbos...unless it revs to 10K rpm...

anymore thoughts from people on the 'Twin Turbo' possibility? Read pretty much everything I could find on the web today re: RS5 specs - comments seem to be 50:50

I know its far to early to say, but thought I'd ask anyway - thanks

Eer Why?.

Obviously it would have been beeter to still have them like the RS4 B5 - on the 4.2 engine it would mean 591 BHP standard (the 2.7 was 380BHP) but I believe there is not enough room.

Didn't people say that there was no room for twin turbo's in the upcoming RS6? Also this upcoimg RS6 is going back to turbos so I wouldn't say never to turbos going back into RS models.

I think it highly likely turbos will be used.
Supercharging has TMK (to my knoledge) has never been an interest of road going Audi's.
Why are we not looking to "Less weight" in these Cars?.
