A modern classic. The Audi RS5.
Thanks to Honer (QW) for these pics he took of his new ride.
I consider the Audi RS5 to be the ultimate manifestation of the germans trying to build a “muscle car”…..along with some of the Mercedes AMG line…….this is some great footage of an RS5 rolling through the desolate smooth roads in the desert—-almost reminds me of scenes from the film “Vanishing Point”!
No music or commentary to get in the way either! just the sweet sound of a V8!
Such a desirable car in that shape and in that form—i think the original A5/S5 already looked beautiful, but with a widened stance, fender flares, and those extra RS touches; it really gets its point across! Fantastic.

Looks fantastic, as expected. Engine specs haven’t been released yet, although i’m hoping forced induction. 450hp at least, could it be a 3.0 Twin Turbo or 4.2L V8? Possible. Either way….it looks epic.
