Mostly M3 dyno between 350 - 375 wheel HP bone stock. Ofcourse, the variation is because of the types of dynos, altitude, temperatures etc. Audi has AWD and hence a higher drivetrain loss.

Whp for the M3 @ 326? It's actually 373, which is -10% from what BMW claims. The RS4's difference between stated and measured power is -20.5%. As comparison to show how inconsistent Audi is, their TT 2.0TFSI's power difference between stated and measured is -1.5%. Hardly a drivetrain loss. Again, it's marketing and the fact they know people will take them at their word. Big mistake. Believe marketing numbers all you want. The smart person verifies them before trying to draw conclusions.

Just listen to this beast. Such a beautiful sounding screaming motor almost like a racing bike.
I am glad to see that high-revving engines are still very much alive in non-exotic relatively cheaper cars:

oh man that sounds so good. i think BMW is gonna lose alot of M3 owners when it goes to the turbos for there M cars. i know they prob don't care and compared to there reg sales the M sales are prob very small % but it seemed like in the past they used to care. sucks but if they don't make another NA engine for an M car it will be the last BMW i ever buy
i know it sounds crazy but i want that RS5 more then the R8 now. prob bc i we can't get it and you always want what you can't have lol. i hope a few make it to the US

you mean with the 450hp vs the 420 it has now?? isn't the R8 faster anyway at 420hp bc it is lighter?? i didn't see any specs other then hp for the RS5 like 0-60 or 1/4 mile did you??
i mean i would love to get the R8 V10 don't get me wrong but it is out of my price league for sure and the R8 V8 would be pushin it and that would be a used one when the time came. i read in numerous articles that stock the V8 sounds alot better then the V10 R8, but i am sure with a nice muffler that V10 whales

great post. no matter what the numbers actually turn out to be, fact is that the new M3 will have turbos and hence have lost all respect for the M brand and what they stood for all these years making majical engines with a hp per liter on par with cars of the likes of porsche and ferrari
even if it turned out to be that the E92 beat this new RS5 coming out which i doubt when i went to get a new car i would still get the Audi bc it will have the NA engine and i think they do a fantastic job with the interior of the car, much nicer then my E92 M now now that respect went to audi as sad as it is Quote:

is there anyone that one could write or call to asking and showing interest in the RS5 coming to the states?? i know it sounds dumb but if they got enough calls or emails about it and serious buyers not just throttle jockeys actual people willing to put a deposit down at the dealer you think it would effect there decision??

Thanks. It indeed is shaping up to be an amazing car with all the right ingredients for an E9X M3 beater while BMW is busy finding ways to lower their production costs by making cookie-cutter turbo engines, increase profits by making family-friendly M SUVs (when was the last time you saw a racing car that was an SUV?) and becoming a green automobile maker. The racing bike like sound of that V8 gives me goosebumps.
No wonder, like I said before, the chances of it turning out to be an inferior performing car over the E9X are almost nil. I just don't believe Audi would bring it out if it could not outperform the E9X M3. Again, if BMW had increased the much needed horsepower with the competition package, I would have seen it as a tie.

YES..............
The RS5 is coming- repeat is coming to the U.S. Fourtitude and other sites have already confirmed this....... Just be prepared to pony up about 80k for one and that's w/o the dealer mark up. |

I don't believe in dyno figures as a means to any logical conclusion. My point was just to show how inconsistent Audi is when it comes to their marketing of power figures. It was purely cautionary so as to not get wrapped up in their claims. The only way to be certain the RS5 is quicker than the M3 is to have a chart of wheel torque by rpm from a reputable 3rd party such as RRI and factoring in gearing to determine force and then factor in mass. Without that you can't determine anything. I'm not saying you're incorrect in your assumption but all remains to be seen. And hopefully you won't rely on Audi's stated acceleration figures as fact, whenever they are available. All manufacturers tend to manipulate reality. After all, they are trying to best the competition mainly in the sales department. Ultimately the name of the game is to produce performance with as much economy as possible. Anyone can best acceleration figures of an existing model, if they're willing to pay the price at the pumps. Personally I think the current M3's performance is not so impressive when you factor in economy. With as much gas as it drinks, I'd expect it to be quicker.

It's great to see Audi step up the game against the M3. More competition means better products, more innovation, and hopefully lower price for the consumers. So in this sense I welcome Audi's challenge (except for the lame ads).

SUV on the track? Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
Audi S/RS High-Reving NA? Only R8 and RS5. S3, S4,TT-S, TT-RS, RS6 are all FI. Audi will also step over to FI. The next RS6, R8 and Gallardo will get a 4.0l Biturbo V8. The next RS4 will get a 3.0l Biturbo V6. If there comes an RS3 it will get the 2.5l Turbo I5, the one of the TT-RS. RS5 Racing-Inspired Sportcar? Where is RWD? The only Audi worthy of RS is the R8 10 FSI, and yet only until BMW hasn't came out with its own Supercar. I wonder if we will see more RS5 or M3 on the track. Audi S/RS are a poser cars. It is for those that have no identity, for who need to feed their ego. Last edited by BMW269; 02-21-2010 at 03:30 AM.. |
