Andy665 0 Posted August 23, 2008 This months Car magazine is testing an early pre-production one. Spec includes a 450PS twin turbo V8 and a double clutch gearbox option, looks so much better than an M3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Sounds interesting, although 450 PS from a twin-turbo V8 is not that much I would have thought tbh, considering the RS4 is 426 PS from an NA 4.2L V8 ?? Although, I guess the RS5 might use the detuned 359 PS 4.2L V8 from the top-of-the-range S5 with a couple of turbo's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted August 24, 2008 they might be deliberately keeping the power lower than the other R's so to not step on their toes. just a thought. could be utter buttmud though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
