Very nice.
Interesting that the link to the German CGI company reveals that all of the shots of the car are fully computer generated...

Will they do a RS5 sportback / cab as well?


I reckon it will come in at about the same as a discounted XFR...so £56/57K

RS4 got all three bodystyles so I guess there's a chance.

Excellent point, however:

Was the cabrio popular - residuals are not as good for other cabrio, despite premium at purchase? Having said, I think it could work well on this one.

As a coupe it will have a certain cachet and almost compete with the 911's. M6's, M3's. A great 2+2.

Now I think the sportback is probably the most compelling, but would it interfere with future RS4 Avant sales, if indeed the B8 RS4 is the next RS model. Was the M5 Touring successful?

Questions, questions....

Seeing as the brochure has been taken down I think someone may have got in to trouble with Audi for leaking it wink

Rumour is there won't be a current generation RS4, so I can see that an RS5 sportback might be feasible in the future.

Let's see if the RS5 does get revealed in Geneva - we've been here (i.e. impending RS5 launch) many times before but, admittedly, this looks to pretty much be the point of no return...

Agreed - all the last lot of pictures were photoshops and the videos were clearly an S5.

Isn't it just a form of viral marketing?
Leak the pictures just before Geneva, get people all excited about its imminent arrival (or rather distract them from its delayed arrival) and then deny all knowledge.


(Apologies if that's what your winking smiley was implying.)

Up for just long enough for someone to re-host the pictures and a few websites to 'scoop' the leak

My God that that is stunning!

I agree it's alot of cash, but it should make a superb used by 2-3 years after release.
