2010 Audi RS5 - Click above for a high-res image gallery
Each successive batch of spy shots (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/30/spy-shots-2010-audi-rs5-spied-one-more-time-at-the-ring/) shows the 2010 Audi RS5 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/2010AudiRS5/) taking shape, and with development churning along at quick clip, we suspect Audi's newest M3 fighter will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/FrankfurtMotorShow/) this September.
Unlike previous images that captured the coupe traveling to and from Audi's engineering center, these latest pics show the RS5 at speed on the Nurburgring, revealing a retractable spoiler similar to the unit fitted on the R8 supercar. It's assumed that the new wing will deploy at a certain speed, and like its mid-engine sibling, expect a button on the dash that allows the driver to choose if the spoiler is up or nestled into the coupe's trunk-lid.
As reported previously (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/11/rumormill-audi-rs5-to-get-4-2-liter-v8-from-rs4/), the RS5 will likely be powered by a tweaked version of the RS4/R8's 4.2-liter direct injected V8, sending 450 hp through either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox before reaching all four wheels. Naturally, everything within the wheel wells will be upgraded, and these newest shots show RS-specific calipers in front, with discs barely squeezed into the 19-inch lightweight wheels.
