Audi RS5: Murder the next-gen Audi RS4?
Rumor has it that the spied Audi RS5 could kill the next-generation Audi RS4.
Speaking anonymously at . recent press event, an Audi official let us known the future of the .8 generation RS4 is facing . steep opposition. The Audi .5 and .5 models have been such strong sellers the decision was made to use that car as the sub-supercar entry and allow the .4 to top out with the newly available supercharged .6..4. This move is also influenced by the Carpocalypse in that heavy-duty super saloons are falling out of favor and Audi is re-positioning as . more responsible luxury brand, downsizing engines and relying more heavily on forced induction and direct injection.
