2009 Audi RS5 Test Mule Video

This thing sounds pretty amazing. I found this link from another forum where they were discussing that the transmission sounds like a DSG (Audi's dual clutch system). Sounds like a V8 (TT) not a V10. Either way, sounds like an animal.

personally i am really looking forward to this car. remembering how audi came out with the rs4 couple years ago giving the m3 a very good run, i have very high hope on the rs5

and it sounds awesome

1. The front end is different. Its similar design to the RS4 (vent/grill and no fogs).

2. The engine sounds much more aggressive than a S5/A5. It definitely sounds like something much more powerful.

also, why would they be testing a s5/a5 after its launched. this car has been spotted testing in recent times.

Yes, I noticed the front. Very subtle though, much like the gti v. R32 - you better know what to look for. As of what I've read, the RS5 is supposed to carry the latest generation S-Tronic 7-speed DSG.

Sounds like a V8. I don't know about TT though, didn't really hear spooling, blow off or wastegate.
