VW won't give us awesome but AWE-di will:

Extra flared fenders, furrowed-brow visage, and a sinister matte black paintjob, all accompanied by a V8 snarl. While it's a development prototype, the RS5 mule snapped during lucky-dog brake testing duty in the Alps strikes us as the perfect look for a topped-out Audi two-door built for high speed strafing. When a car is coated in matte black and backs it up with 400-plus horsepower of engine, it means business, and the RS5's stock in trade will be all-wheel drive enabled speed. If Audi really wants its new coupe variant to be tough, we propose sending a mule or two out for torture at the hands of automotive journalists. Thanks for the tip, Julio!

I am actually purring.

HOLY SICKNESS!!!

yes please

ZOMGIWANTCIRCLESOFDEATH!!!!1!11!!!

If that showes up over here (in the US) I will break my rule of not buying brand spanking new cars.

As long as it doesnt have the light brite headlight treatment I approve

All Audis will get the lite-brites.

I like them, I just want amber pegs.

I hope they sell it brand new with that paint scheme. I'm bored of silver.

I wonder if "murdered-out black" will become a stock color option after this car hits the market...

AWE-di?

As in Audi's products are awe-inspiring?

FWIW, I'm fluent in German and the letters "au" in German make the same sound as "ow" in English, so the correct way to say Audi is "Ow-dee"

Sorry to rant, just a pet peeve of mine.

Doesn't do it for me. I don't like any of Audi's current line up. Especially considering their cost. The R8 ain't bad but whatever...

Do want

I didn't know Der Mafia had a presence in Germany...

I'd be more excited if these would sell for less than six digits.

Yes AWE-di

That one product is awe inspiring.

FWIW, I'm fluent in post whoring and the letters on my keyboard are useless little pawns in racking up post count. Ironically there is an Audi sign directly to my left attached to the building I am standing in. I know how to say Audi, as does the Audi rep laughing at this post as I type it.

Sorry to not rant, just letting you know that I am not seven.

ughh matte black is so sexy.

Why do some people think differently?

Eewww

It is well after christmas and the lights need to come down. If it was a solid beam of light I wouldnt mind it but it really does look like lite brites

HAWT!

Too bad and I can't even think about affording a car like this.

I like silver....

It's the Audi G8!

Vents make Daddy happy.

IIIIIIiiiiinnnn thaaaat case Is there any chance of the RS3 coming to the states ? Or A A3 3.2 with manual trans?

Not likely, but he wouldn't know... he takes care of warranties and makes sure the dealer paperwork is done proper like. The new product trainers are the guys that know if all the good stuff comes out. They are really engineers with PR jobs for the most part. I never see those guys except for annual certification training, and I get the lowly VW guys at that (same building though).
