I've just seen the press pictures of the new A5 coupe, and also some live shots of the S5 version. Very stylish.
I did a quick search here and couldn't find anything, so has anyone heard anything either way regarding the possibility of a RS5?

I've heard one maybe coming but I reckon it's probably a good 3 years away as traditionally RS models are at the end of the life of the base model.

Spoke to the guy at the Audi garage today who sold me my RS4.
Enquiring about a theortetical deposit on an RS5 if one comes about.
Said basically to hold onto my money for now as likely a few years away, although did comment that Audi are bringing sporty derivatives out much earlier in a models life cycle , witnessed by the S5 at launch.
Anyway I've still got the possibility of an M3 cabrio (2nd on list at local dealer, and 1st if the ever do an M3 saloon/touring) but just looking at he S5 pictures in this weeks Autocar makes the Beemer look a bit ugly!
S5 cabrio?? Maybe, RS5 cabrio sound good though.
Just reading the spec on the new A5, looks good with decent boot, reversing cameras,keyless entry and ignition, 8 speed auto, electromechanical parking brake, etc etc
