Audi RS5 confirmed once again for U.S.

Audi has chosen to release the RS5 coupe in the US after spending a significant amount of time being undecided about it. Inside Line had spoken with a product marketing contact from Quattro GmbH, the division at the Neckarsulm factory that builds the RS models.

The source said that Audi has given its vote and that the car will “definitely” come to the US. He clarified that this will happen more than a year from the start of deliveries in Western Europe. Many Quattro specialists believe that huge numbers aren’t really expected for the RS5 coupe V8 with 444hp and 317 pound-feet of torque tied to an 8,250-rpm redline. He said that every RS5 coupe shipped over will be fully optioned.

Probably will be overpriced compared to the M6.

The M6 is around 100k w/options.

The RS5 according to various auto mags/sites should come in around 80k. Makes sense when the you see the last gen RS4 sold here for @ 73k....
