Official photos and facts of the RS5!

bape · 02-23-2010, 06:41 PM

thats the kind of interior we should have had in the m3's...... :S

lazyassand1balla24 · 02-23-2010, 06:51 PM

interior is amazing... no wide body?

b8b8 · 02-23-2010, 07:30 PM

imo the rs5/s5 looks better than e92 m3...this car invokes the lines of a classic updated gt tourer especially in the c pillars down towards the rear bumper

Labrada_Exoticz · 02-23-2010, 07:48 PM

I like the car a lot, BUT I LOVE THE SEATS!!!!

JCtx · 02-23-2010, 07:54 PM

Great looking car and interior, but still dislike AWD only (due to car being a FWD platform) and no more NA V8. And possibly no more manual tranny either. I'd I feel so strongly about a NA V8 for my performance car that I'd rather own a Vette than this car. And the same will be true when the new FI M3 comes out. So my current M3 better lasts me a loooong time

sick seats!!

honestly i think its absolutely gorgeous, id rather have one of these than an M3 (looks wise), unfortunately like others have said the price might be ridiculous and we still dont know how it performs.

The RS5 has a NA V8 - there is no forced induction on this car, so you have one less reason to dislike it.

I love my M3, but would take this RS5 over it in a heartbeat -- Audi really nailed the exterior and interior design.

Very nice

330CIZHP · 02-23-2010, 09:53 PM

450 HP
8500 rpm rev limit
Interior
Exterior
Low emissions
Much better fuel economy than RS4

Pure perfection from every angle.

This right here is the benchmark for the F30 M3 and hopefully will result in BMW stopping from cheaping out and saving R&D costs by putting a cookie-cutter bland, low-revving, turbocharged engine in the F30 M3.

amk6453 · 02-23-2010, 09:56 PM

i luv the seats!

nusevad · 02-23-2010, 10:19 PM

seats are the sex....interior is perfect...high revving v8? Damn this car is going to be hot...

roflopter142 · 02-23-2010, 10:34 PM

wow might even look nicer than the e92 m3

aus · 02-23-2010, 10:38 PM

I doubt the seats will come to the US. Audi did the same cheap out in the RS4 with the interior.

What size motor is the RS5? Did they stroke it?

same of previous gen RS4. just tweaked to have more pwrrrrrrr

catch · 02-24-2010, 12:21 AM

those seats are unreal!!
the car itself could use more of a wide body look and if the price is as high as i suspect it can use a little more power too

rushx85 · 02-24-2010, 05:05 AM

Whoa!
I LOVE the new photos that were added!
I´m really looking forward to see it at the dealer in a few month...

Some of you guys are wondering about the "unreal" high price of the RS5:
The E92 M3 base price is 67.000€ compared to 77.000€ for the RS5 and since we dont know how many options are included in that price already, I just wouldn´t call it too expensive yet. We´ll see...

My first impression is

and regarding the interieur
