Lovely car mate. This was on my list along with a C63 AMG and M3 and I am pretty sure on the crappy greasy roads round here I'd have been quicker in the awd RS5. I did opt for the M3 though .

Love the coulour as well. Is it sepang blue?

What's drive like as I am a big fan, similar size to my GTR but I find Audis can be hit and miss. R8 and my wife's 3.2V6 TT are great cars but I though the RS4 just felt dead in terms of feed back.

I love the look of the RS5, it is right up there with the R8 spyder.

Great looking car.

Absolutely f'ing stunning! Nice1
I am in my first ever Audi, I bought my S3 new in September and I absolutely love it. I would love a motor like that, I really would.
I think my S3 wipes the floor with my Subaru so I can only dream about an RS5! lol

Nothing in this league - mainly the old chipped impreza, seat leon cupra and the last one was a 211bhp A5. This is knocking out twice that at 450bhp and is awesome. I have had a few driving days and the only 2 I enjoyed more was the TT RS and the 911. But neither were suitable with kids In comparision this is so jekyll and hyde, nice and easy to drive slowly but on dynamic mode it is so raw. I love it.

Yea I was worried with everything I read that it might be a bit dead, but all the reviews normally talk about being on the limit ... I aint been there yet

Will do over time mate - so far loving the mode selection, can be loud or quiet, shopping trolley or limo The only pain if the mpg - but I knew that would be a problem !!! It gets positive attention on the road as well, which I was suprised about

Yea had the 19's before on the old A5 - The 20's are in a different league
