1. theres no RS5 yet... they are saying 2010

2. it won't be over 480 HP.... cause thats the current R8's HP. So 450 sounds about right

3. You will never hear an Audi supercharger.... cause its quiet.

4. its gonna look much like the S5.... cause it doesn't get much more aggressive than that. its just gonna sound like a monster

Not at all . . .

1) That's why this is in the "concepts" section

2) The Audi R8 has 420 hp, and it wasn't even Audi's most powerful production car . . . the Audi RS6 had 450 hp, and so did the A8 W12 (Oh yeah, and so did the S8, and the S6 had 435hp) . An RS5 with less power than the R8 is just . . . well . . . fail. At the LEAST it will share Audi's flagship V8

3) Not quite. You will be able to hear the Audi supercharger (if it even has one, as it is expected to be a natural 10 or a twin turbo 8) it's just that the video quality isn't the greatest (i shouldn't say that cause it sure isnt bad) and the supercharger wouldn't be as loud as turbo's

4) Finally you're right, the S5 does look bad ***. However, we can expect lower front bumpers, and the RS5 may be (how do i say this) wid-er body? It may have slightly wider fender flares
