Audi RS5 spotting (pics) [and more!]

I was walking my puppy in Holmby Park this afternoon and saw the normal lot of Mercedes and BMW. Saw an Aston DB9 and a Bentley continental. But what really caught my attention was this new RS5 I saw parked. BMW better step it up with their next M4 because this car is a looker... And quite the performer I hear!














Also spotted a Ferrari 575M(?) as I was walking home. Should have taken a video. It sounded AMAZING!




Looks like my day's (and my) trainer has a Braubus Smart Car. Fun looking little car!!!





And mandatory random pic of my car and the puppy!

Front, yes. Back, yes.

But would it kill Audi to invest in some freakin' wheel arches?

I definitely see where you are coming from. Stock wheels could be a bit more aggressive on a car like this too..

LOVE the front end!

It's like a hot girl with a beautiful smile, perfect face and flowing hair walking straight at you smiling...

...and then turns to the side and is flat up top and at the rear, straight as a board.

to each of their own, but I personally think your 335is is a better looking car.

I LOVE the look of my car, and would probably say its up there with the RS5. But there is just something special about an RS model, M car or AMG.

I like the rs5 but I just feel its to big of a car for me. Makes me want to compare it to a 6 series or m6 instead.

Look at pic #1. It's like the wheels, doors, fenders are completely flush with each other.

Do you mean flared fenders? They are significantly more pronounced than the S5 if you see them side by side. The design of the fenders is similar to those of the E30 M3 than RS4/1M type of flares.

Oh man, its times like this that I'm glad my state doesn't require front license plates. That front plate sticks out so bad on that car to me.

What a looker! Though I do think the M4 is going to beat it up in looks as well as performance.

I think its wrong to say that this car has no curves ,it has wider fenders than a ordinary A5 i think the type is called boxed fenders.

Some colors show it better look at these pics:
