RS5 to roll at Geneva


Audi's show-stopper at Geneva will be a 450hp RS version of the A5 coupe.

The powertrain is based on the 4.2 V8 which will get that power to the road through a 7-speed S Tronic dual clutch gearbox. It will, of course, have Audi's quattro AWD system, this time with a newly-developed centre differential.

The 0-100km/h sprint is claimed at less than five seconds.
