Audi TT-R and RS5 uncovered

sinnet112 · 08-23-2008, 01:04 AM

RS5 looks good, TT-R looks a tad over the top, unfortunately. Maybe I'll see one on the road and change my mind.

It is my understanding the RS5 is having trouble passing US emissions.

Where does this info come from?

Considering that no one seems to know the engine spec how can you come out this such a statement?

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 08-23-2008, 05:16 AM

Soo nice!
I love Audi's too

Ok, those things on the sides are not IC's, those are radiators like the v8 s4 got on 2 sides.

How dare I make statements like that?!?! LOL. I spoke with one of the Audi fleet managers I know and he also added there was an issue with the RS6 as well. You act like I am making up this shit...

Sorry I didn't mean it to sound the way it did.

It's just that no one knows the final spec and as the RS5 could be as long as a year or more away I would have thought the final engine spec wasn't finalised. Though I was thinking of Europe, in the States your emissions will be different.

Regarding the RS6, does this mean that it may be detuned to pass US emissions?

hmmmmmmm....i'm sure audi will figure it out somehow. but if it comes at the cost of a detune, that will be interesting.

I am not loving this new nose treatment one bit.

Compared to the front of the RS4 and it's fuller arches this RS5 look is bland.

I loved my S5 look, but for the RS5 it needs to be ultra aggressive and I ain't feeling it yet.

I know what you mean Footie, but look at it this way. The S5 looks bloody brilliant and has at least the same presence as the M3 on the road. The RS5 will sport an more agressive nose as seen in spypics and willl have other body treatment.

I think it'll look brilliant. So far it looks more aggressive than the RS4 except for the wheel arches. I hope it has wide arches, not as wide as the RS4 though because I dont think it'll suit the RS5. They did look great on the RS4 though

That TT looks amazing. Audi is really doing a great job making their cars look more aggressive... and talking with sales guys it seems they are actually geting people to pay huge markups
