Did someone edit/upload this pic through instagram?
Is it just me or is it pretty outrageous that they charge for metallic/pearl paint on an $80000 car. Personally I'd jack up the base price a little and throw it in, makes you look less cheap as a manufacturer.

Saw the red one during late summer on W4th. I quadruple took because I didn't even know the rs5 was available in NA at the time. Beautiful car, and I can only dream of how it drives.

But, normally, just a bright red.
Like most cars, they look better in real life. Quote:

Was it a younger woman or an older one? There are only 19 RS5s in BC for the next 2 years. Or, 1,500 total in North America (production is limited).
So.... about 12 in the Lower Mainland. I have yet to see 1 RS5 in the Lower Mainland. I have seen some old S5s and some face-lifted A5s. But, no RS5 and no face-lifted S5s. Quote:

also imagining how fast it would be with the 4.0T... | That is because Audi rates the 430 at a lower RPM and the RS5 at a higher RPM. It's the same engine, but the RS5 goes a little faster than the V8 R8.
See the lap times here: BMW M5, M6 and 335i Lap Times from Annual Car and Driver Lightning Lap 2013 @ VIR - M5POST - BMW M5 Forum
The RS5 is faster than the R8 (look at the chart), M5, M6, and M3.
The RS5 uses the S-tronic while the R8 uses a manual R tronic. Quote:

And the stock exhaust sounds are very smooth and just loud enough without being too abrasive. Quote:

------------------
I have the RS5 since 12 weeks ago.
Here are some pictures:
I had the privilege to do a short photoshoot with my 12 week old RS5 and its new BBS CX-R 20'' x 10'' rims (Anthracite Accent). Your comments are appreciated and encouraged.
Without further ado, here they are:     
This was the nearest I could park the car to the plane. There was a much closer spot, but an airport security jeep denied permission for driving closer to it. BUT, I was able to take it with another plane landing behind the Fedex plane.   | |

I saw a white one behind me after work on main street turning onto the viaducts today. Again, just a phenomenal car.
Marshall do you have any plans to modify it or enjoy it as is? A slightly lower stance would make the car look terrifying to see in your rear view.

But, I won't be doing that.
Instead, I MAY do a capristo or milltek exhaust mod.
Not sure yet.

Great car Marshall. Audi makes very handsome cars especially in S and RS lineup.
I haven't driven't an RS5 yet but have driven a manual S5. That was a great car to drive. Awesome V8 sound. I can only imagine the RS5 to be better.

Subjectively, I think the rotor wheels look.. normal or "stockish".
