Loving the RS5 more and more I see it?


Some say the next one will have a twin turbo V6?....475bhp.

Sure I read that in CAR when they Interviewed that Audi head geyser?
cheers, I hope the next one will be the 4.0 V8 TT but even the V6 TT will be better cause lighter and TT give you lot more torque, you could tune it massively, anyways my next project hopefully is R8 V10 ...

I've been toying with the idea of making my RS5 Rotors black / Anthracite, I even did a mock up with photoshop (see my build thread for the photo) cos I'ce never seen a decent darkened set before... well until now that is.

With regards to suspension, did you see the KW kit that Cuppa fitted to his S5 (built thread in the S5 section)? If I remember correctly it was electronically adjustable from the drivers seat, 3 settings I think. Also had Iphone control of damping.
the rims were powder coated satin black, really like them, you could go gloss black as well as they will go matte as soon as you get some dust, personal preference I guess

know Cuppa's car, it's awesome, love all he's done to it, very impressive, his KWs setup is with electronic adjustments which is epic and I would definitely get one but had the opportunity to grap my V3 kit for half price so couldn't resist, can still manually adjust everything but wish it was a matter of pressing the button, well for my next project it will be ...
