DanG Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 So they got 0-60 to come up in 4.8 seconds? Same as the RS4 then? Hmmm....interesting....and for £40k base price. I wonder what the RS5 will run? and how that places it with the M3..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfer Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I could not get the S5 to cover 0-60 near that spec!!, it felt slower than the RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] No only by feel, but the Power comes in slower on the S5, and the car is so quiet and sedate, it does not even feel rapid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1MAC Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Don't the Americans take a slightly different view on road testing? IIRC, they often take the numbers with one bod and 1/2 tank of fuel rather than two and a full tank. The might be other things as well. I seem to remember that when I was looking at the 350Z, I read a couple of American road tests with similarly optimistic figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] The S5 has much more low down torque than the RS4 and so you dont have to rev it so much. I agree it is very quiet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Well with the new M3 at 420PS, I guess Audi will have to get into another "my dick's bigger than yours" contest, and make it push out even more...
