Audi RS5 2017, caught the coupe in its sportiest version

After launch of the new Audi A5 and S5, many fans wonder about the top of the range. The point is that the 5 Audi RS2017 it is currently in the testing phase and has already been seen on the open road. The vehicle you see in the images has been hunted north of Spain without any camouflage. We can see it thanks to our colleagues at Motor.es and it must be said that hides much more than it seems.

To tell the truth this test mule could go unnoticed for someone who is not up to date in the motor world. It is not too flashy and is easily confused with an Audi S5. But in his rear there will be an element that gives him away: the double exhaust outlet of generous dimensions. This will be the main clue that tells us that we are facing the next RS5. This model will also come with a more aggressive bodywork what we see in the photos.

Thanks to this recreation we can get an idea of ​​how the rear of the Audi RS5 2017 would look. Modifications are also expected in the front, such as a honeycomb grill or larger air intakes in the style of the new Audi TT RS. Another advantage that we have to comment on is that it will use a new platform like its A5 and S5 brothers. This allows it to be up to 60kg lighter, improving its consumption and performance.

Let's talk about the engine that will carry the new Audi RS5. Let us remember that the brand with the four rings is leaving aside the old atmospheric V8s, replacing them with new turbocharged V6s. Therefore it is expected to adopt the same 6-liter V3.0 TFSI with which the Audi S5 was presented. Although the 354 hp of this one will be left far behind, since this radical coupé is expected to develop between 450 and 500 horsepower.

Therefore we will have one of the fastest models of its segment, being able to stand up to vehicles like the BMW M4. We will have to wait for official information, but the new RS5 could accelerate 0 to 100 km/h in about 4 seconds. To have a reference, it must be said that the Audi S5 does it in 4,7 seconds. In short, there is already a desire to know all the details of the Audi RS5 2017. We will have to wait, since the sports coupé will not reach the market well into 2017.
