Well?

I haven't yet but I probably will - depends if they do a cab version too.

And is it worth it?

Who knows. There's no official spec yet nor any pricing. But I'm sure it'll be competitive.

Have my name down and if it comes should be late '08/early '09 i guess.

So that's when we get £32/34k RS4's then (if you shop around and don't pay Audi dealer money).

Nah, that's a S5 that someone's changed the bottom grills on. An RS would have oval tailpipes and wider wheel arches.

Some observations....

1. It seems the person who did that also crudely removed his S5 badge, poked a hole in the front bumper and put tape all the way along the side skirts.

2. That person obviously has connections given he's parked next to a pre-production RS6 avant.

3. The RS6 mules are always dressed up as S6's. For example, here's one of the early spy shots of the C6 RS6 http://www.autoweek.com/files/weekart/2005/0530/spy_audirs6rear.jpg with quad tailpipes. Therefore, it doesn't seem unlikely that the RS5 mules will be in S5 bodies.

4. Why would they be testing S5's again, given the car is in production?

If I was just some random guy's car I'd dismiss it, but it's clearly not.

Interesting that they both have tow bars fitted.....?

And the 5 seems to have fairly high suspension, certainly not the ground hugging type associated with a potential RS version....

Some sort of test bed I suspect, maybe a big diesel? pipes on both models look a bit black too.... despite being big oval ones on the 6??
