Well , I had s5 in today , I was impressed with the 2.7dti i had in the other month but this was much better ...

So I've been offered one at a VERY good price & feel the urge to get one..

So it's got a 350bhp 4.2 fsi engine in it , Does anyone know how the s5 and rs4 fsi engines differ ????

I've got a spare rs4 engine so that could be fitted or get a super charger ....

I've got an S5 and was also wondering about this. I found out (but its never really been confirmed) that the internals on the S5 aren't specced for the higher revs of the RS4, so it doesn't make the top end power. I'd love to see comparative dyno plots because I've chased an RS4 and it wasn't much faster. My mate who was driving said he was wringing it out, so it seems to confirm that its all about the RS4s top end....

i thought it was simply a detuned version of the rs4 and different exhausts!
Grizz... wait for the RS5 cabrio...

I would love a rs5 but i'm not going to spend very much money at all . The only reason i'm thinking about it is it's very very cheap ...

Isn't the S5's engine the same as the old S4's? This might help:
