Audi, your China suppliers have a leak.

 

[Shellshock]

That must be an front for the China market or maybe its the A6 but i think is more the a6 because on the single grill top-bottom and also the rings that touch the hood, or maybe the rs5 takes some a6 dna front grill

Launch is Feb 19th

Massive breaks because the PHEV will near 5,000lbs, if not over.

A5 Avant 270kw PHEV is already 4,800 lbs so I fear my initial estimates of the RS 5 Avant PHEV weighing 4,850 lbs are nowhere close. I'm gonna estimate ~ 4,980-5080lbs.

Wow just a few more days. Cant wait to see the new flared up RS5. Its going to give the M3 Touring some serious competition.

The track width and stance seen on the RS6 etron Sportback prototype is impressive. It corrects the "chubby" A6 etron visual.

Visually, definitely. But if it exceeds 5,000lbs... 640 combined hp is not saving it.

The Audi RS models are always exciting as I love how different and aggressive they look compared to the standard models. Huge wheels and flared arches combined with some massive exhaust pipes lift them up to a different level.

I agree. As long as Audi Sport does not go overboard on the designs. Voluptuous wheelarch sheetmetal in tandem with large diameter rims (21" or 22") is great, as is a significantly widened track width. But when they start adding theatrical vents and tacked-on rubbish, the visual experience is diminished. As with so many things...less can be one hell of alot more.
