2.5tfsi will remain for Audi only. Want a cheap way in, wait for the mk3 TT-S, that's rumoured to get a 320ps I5

This all means there will never be some sort of Golf RS with a 5cyl then, certainly not for the foreseeable future?

I'd rather have the 3.0 V6T they showed at Wörthersee.  :party:

I do seem to remember Audi saying they weren't going to let anyone else use it.

I'm sure it'll sell well to the people who convince themselves they need it more than a GTI, but I reckon the press will still favour the 2WD version. The S3 has hardly had glowing reviews.
Sideways yo!

Next Gen Audi Rs5 exclusive apparently at 480-500hp, basically a 4.0 v8 copy with two cylinders chopped off.

I can't see this car selling well at that price point. Remember that VW drastically reduced the price of the Mk6 Golf R cabrio from 38k by a huge margin as it wasn't selling.

Well 8.14 at the ring is very impressive ! Makes it the second fastest Hot hatch I think.
