Now, I've been a fan of Audi since my days with a remote control scale version of the legendary '85 Quattro Short Wheelbase Rallye Car. I would die to have been given the chance to fling one of these beasts up the course at Corsica Italy, or Rally Spain. But, I had to settle for my ultra cool, birthday present as a 13 year old 7th Grader in Central Pennsylvania. It had 4 wheels and was self powered so I was cool with it.
Since then, Audi has made some fantastic REAL cars, and I have owned several models (...currently I have two... an S4, and a TT for sale over at the dealership website...) including the A4. One car I have not yet pulled the trigger on is the ULTRA sexy A. The A5, A coupe, is now offered by Audi in both S (Sport) and RS ( RennSport...or 'Racing') models. Over the years, the primo RS models would often be witheld from our fine USA shores for a myriad of reasons, but these days the RS models are finding their way here. Even though they regularly don't have ALL the primo bells and whistles of the Euro models, they are a treat and this RS5 is no different. At 444hp and 317 ft/lbs of torque, this is going to be one FUN car that still has a trunk in the back.
Automobile Magazine has reported that they have confirmed it to be true...no official word from Audi yet, but it looks like the RS5 is coming! I can't wait!
