A bargain me thinks

TheBazman

Ok we are approaching the end of 2008 but this seems like a bargain given this would be around 95k new specced up

compared to this one which seems a little off the mark, despite being unreg'd

Whats the difference between the s5 and the rs5 then given that the s5 there has 354bhp? I'm guessing the rs5 has maybe 100+ on that?

The RS models are always a step up from the S models and audi only do limited runs of the RS versions. They are actually designed and built by Quattro GMBH, a subsidiary of Audi a bit like BMW's M division which does all their M models..

The RS5 has the same engine as the RS4 I think, which had 420bhp. In fact the RS5 may be tuned a bit higher than 420, can't remember.

No RS5 yet, I'm afaid gentlmen - it's not been released yet.

Indeed. They list from €95k new and the ad has an asking of €65k so it can probably had for not much more than €60k in a straight deal

Not to mention the bargain old motor tax of €1.5k instead of €2k for a post July '08 car

only getting cheaper too, it has been listed for months and coming down in 5k chunks every 6-8 weeks..

Do Cosworth have any involvement with the RS range anymore?

I sat in an S5 last week and every time I pressed on the clutch, my left foot hit off the foot rest. No matter how much I tried to avoid it, it kept hitting it.

Now little minor details like that would annoy me...:mad: in a 100k car

quite possibly, I'd agree..........but if I'd spent 100k on a car that came with 3 pedals I'd bring it right back !!
