It's great that Audi is focusing on the 5 cylinder!

@TechThem22 - Audi has been breaking away from using Torsen for a while now on the bigger cars (starting with the RS5). They use a crown gear center differential now. It's smaller and lighter and uses a broader torque distribution front/rear than the Torsen they had before.

This had better be the next RS5! I5 turbo, proper manual behind it, proper Torsen based quattro system.

is this gonna be the next generation of a5 with 2.5T instead of 2.0T.. it is really a beast

[16vadrian]

Why they no put this engine to the proper quattro its only stupid haldex

@16vadrian - there is no way this car would be in the price range of an evo or subaru... most likely it would cost more than a current RS5
