Spy Shots: 2010 Audi RS 5

By Marty PadgettMarty Padgett, August 21st, 2008

TheCarConnection.com's spies have caught Audi engineers working on an RS 5 prototype in the California desert.

The 2010 Audi RS 5's aggressively revised front fascia carries all of the menacing design traits of Audi's other RS models, but it looks particularly fetching on the already seductive A5 coupe. The fog lamps have been removed in favor of extra breathing ducts to cool the engine and brakes--just as on Audi's recently-released RS 6. This prototype doesn't yet have all the expected RS cues--namely the signature dual oval exhaust tips (it still has the quad oval tips from the S5)--but it is wearing silver side mirrors (another of Audi's...

Audi RS6: Cold Hands, Warm Heart?

By Marty PadgettMarty Padgett, February 21st, 2008

To go up against Mercedes' E63 AMG and BMW’s M5, Audi is planning to offer the hot RS6. We caught it here, in northern Sweden, while it was undergoing some late prototype testing in the frigid Arctic. The larger air intakes in the front bumper, and the wider fenders and diffuser at the rear, are the key clues as to the true identity of this Audi. And while the S models have four round exhaust pipes, the RS models will receive oval pipes as their distinguishing feature. We caught the sedan version this week, but the new RS6 will also be available a wagon (which has already been introduced). They’ll be powered by the same V-10...
