I doubt it's a V10 though, it's not an M6 competitor it's a rival to the 2dr M3 in much the same way a the RS4 is a rival to the 4dr version. A V10 engine would position the RS5 well above it's natural competitors which would not be a smart move.
I think am with you on this one. Also with the S5 going to a supercharged V6, adds more evidence the RS5 will have a V8. It sure does sound nice in that video.

Most mags have done comparos of the S5 and 335i coupe. But I have seen some mags compare the S5 with the 6-series before, both being grand touring cars. Maybe Audi has some crazy idea, have the RS5 compete with the M6, with a big nasty V10. Just pure speculation, most likely not happening.
