Excellent - Bill Gates likes sharing his fortune.
Fancy paying for my clutch, flywheel and gearbox rebuild??

I honestly cant see them using the V8 in this car?? Current boring green issues etc etc i might be wrong though maybe a TFSI similar to VW,S supercharged, tubocharged units, developed from the current S4 3.0 litre lump maybe?? Developing 450 bhp.
Would like to see a high revving turbo V8.. I think it will be a turbo but a smaller cc.
Imagine that? similar to C5 RS6 engines but i dont think them engines revved to 8250rpm????? i may be wrong though?

Insider information is still saying that the RS5 will be a 4.2 FSI V8 but with twin throttle bodies - the last of the NA RS models?

The tech I spoke to at my local stealers today seems to think it would be supercharged.....

None of the spy videos from the 'Ring sound like a supercharged engine...

What do you guys think of the styling though? I'm not taken from what I've seen so far myself.

Yes I was thinking the same,if that the case, then the S5 should never have an RS5 model, end of an era.

Those youtube vids make a convincing case for a V8 imo
Can't say I'll be looking to trade the '4 in for one, as beautiful as the *5 family is. Maybe it's all the matt black, but it don't look special enough.
