Rather have the TT RS, lighter, more agile than this behemoth SS tank.

aww come on now, it's GT car I'm sure once u sit inside a S5 seat it'll chance ur mind, it's that damn good really!

Tho I agree with one thing, I'd get a TTRS before a RS5. The darn thing better be ported to the North American market in a year.

If Worldcarfans are correct and it's a 4.2v8 Bi-Turbo engine then a 30hp gain over the old RS4 would be extremely small and well below what is expected from a similar size unit of this calibre. Maybe Audi are choosing this small of an increase to improve drivability and broaden it's torque while improving emissions and fuel consumption. Personally I doubt that, if it's turboed then a bare minimum of 470hp and 600Nm should be the outcome.

P.S.
I hope it's not another N/A engine, I much prefer my Audis to force the issue of performance.
Definitely not a V6
