Thanks...

I'm looking forward to this...

 

[Mr. M]

Is that a Valvelift engine?

 

[Choleric]

Most Likely, but if this is going to be in a standard A5 that means a V10 for the S5!

 

[RICHBOY]

Optional MMI placement?

Nah, I'm thinking a detuned version of the RS4's 4.2 V8.

It most likely depends on which options you get, i.e. sat-nav...

Perhaps, But the current Audi V8 produce around 350 hp and if they are going to put that a V8 in an the A5, you cannot really detune the RS V8 too much for the S model... I don't know, I guess we'll havce to wait and see.

If they dumb it down to about 400 or so, that would be more than adequate.

What a day in the automotive world. First a new Maser coupe and now this. I'm not as thrilled about this one as I am the Maserati, but it still looks pretty good. I don't like the same-as-TT front though. The interior is typical Audi perfection, with a new level of design flair when it comes to the seats. Hmmm...I might need to see this one in person before throwing myself down in front of its grille.

i really hope to see a v6 turbo in this thing as the s5. i think that's just wishful thinking tho.

 

[Zafiro]

I love the interior at first sight, the exterior I need to get used too

the car looks big, is it a 6er competitior?

 

[Choleric]

I believe it is more a 3er competitor, perhaps slightly in between the two.

Nothing can touch the interior design of Audi's, it's like their the only ones who care about visual appeal once the doors are closed!

 

[Merc1]

Yeah I think those seats look like those from the original Nuvolari concept?

Officially....Walter De'Silva has lost his damn mind. While this is a beautiful car, it's not his best work. The rear looks very hatchback-ish...am I the only one who noticed this?

Speaking of which; the A5 looks nothing like the Nuvolari.

I couldn't disagree with you more!

Nope, it really doesn't. Its really tall and kinda blocky looking from some angles and perfect looking from others. I have to see this one in person for my final judgement.

I'm very pleased with that look, tradition, the Quattro and S2, sorry to quote myself...

It's been about 13-14 years since Audi has had a proper mass produced coupe,

and am I the only one who is glad they brought back some old bloodlines...

I think this is going to be a dead-on CLK competitor more than the 3-Series. I can already see the cabriolet version and the S/RS versions. I guess pricing will ultimately decide what it competes against, but sizewise tells me CLK or even 6-Series. The Coupe segment are harder to pin down because most of them don't compete directly with each other.
