The New Audi RS5 Sounds Pretty Darn Good
In the age of downsizing, Audi appears to be bucking the trend with its next-generation RS5. Prototypes of the hot sedan (technically a five-door liftback) and wagon were spotted at the Nürburgring, making sweet engine noise. The sound we hear definitely comes from something with more than four cylinders. Our money is on a V-6, likely a plug-in hybrid to comply with stricter emissions regulations. Audi has pledged never to produce a four-cylinder RS car, so it's not surprising that the next RS5 could retain all six cylinders. We haven't forgotten about the five-cylinder unit, but the 2.5-liter TFSI is now basically confined to the RS3, as the TT RS is long gone and the RS Q3 is unlikely to return with the inline-five. In September 2019, Audi promised that the RS4 Avant successor would come with an electrified six-cylinder powertrain . The new RS5 models are clad in swirly camouflage but don't hide the fat oval exhaust tips, which now sit closer together, giving off Porsche vibes. The two exhausts are very much real, with Audi having pledged to stop fitting fake exhausts on its cars, not that RS models were ever guilty of that anyway. While I generally think bigger is better, these ovals might be just a tad too large. Feel free to disagree. Elsewhere, the RS5 duo sports larger air intakes and bulging fenders, with the front ones appearing to have big (and hopefully functional) vertical vents to cool the brakes or for aerodynamic purposes. Large wheels with low-profile tires fill the arches nicely, and Audi has added a small spoiler at the rear of the not-a-sedan. If you're concerned about the new RS5 gaining weight, so are we. The outgoing RS4 Avant tipped the scales at 1,745 kilograms in Europe, or 3,847 pounds. Keeping the six-cylinder setup while adding a battery and electric motor could push the super wagon above 2,000 kilograms, around 4,409 pounds. On the plus side, it's bound to offer more power than the RS4 Edition 25 Years , which had 464 hp and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. New Audi RS6 Avant Photo by: Carspotter Jeroen But this spy video isn't just about the new RS5. The larger, next-gen RS6 Avant also appears, sporting similarly positioned oval exhausts, now closer to the center of the rear bumper. It has even wider fenders and sounds aggressive as well. It's unclear if the new RS6 will also go the plug-in hybrid route, but it's a strong possibility given how a V-8-only setup might struggle under Europe's tightening emissions rules. Ex-Audi design boss Marc Lichte has said these cars will represent the 'last-generation RS ICE models,' adding that the next RS5 and RS6 will be 'mind-blowing.' We're here for it. The regular A6 has just been revealed, so the RS6 will have to wait, especially since the new S6 has yet to break cover. Audi might debut the new RS5 before the end of the year or sometime in 2026.

Next-Gen Audi RS5 Teased at Dealer Event, Global Debut Expected by June
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector The next-generation Audi RS5 is on the horizon, with industry insiders and dealer sources suggesting an official unveiling before the end of June. The redesigned high-performance model was reportedly shown to authorized dealers during a private event, hinting that a public debut may be just weeks away. Set to arrive as a 2026 model, the new RS5 will break new ground for the nameplate by incorporating a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The familiar 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine will now be paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output exceeding 600 horsepower. Sources indicate the gasoline engine alone will produce 434 hp, while the hybrid system contributes an additional 174 hp. In pure electric mode, the RS5 will reportedly offer up to 50 miles of range on the WLTP cycle—an impressive figure for a performance-focused PHEV. Acceleration is expected to be equally remarkable, with the 0-to-62 mph sprint claimed to be achievable in just 3.4 seconds. Spy images and videos shared by Instagram user @ reveal a significantly more aggressive exterior design. Up front, the RS5 sports a wide Singleframe grille flanked by angular, swept-back LED headlights. At the rear, slim LED taillights and a signature quad-exhaust layout complete the muscular profile. The new RS5 will be available in both sedan and Avant wagon forms, with the latter continuing to cater to Europe's performance estate market. With electrification sweeping through the ranks of Audi Sport, the RS5's hybrid evolution signals a new era for the brand's high-performance lineup—one that blends speed with sustainability. More official details are expected as the summer launch window approaches. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Burglars flood home and make off with Audi RS 5
AN AUDI has been stolen and a Herefordshire home flooded in an early-hours burglary. The car, an Audi RS 5, disappeared from a driveway in the Redstone area of Burghill on February 13, said police community support officer Adam Westlake. The home was empty at the time of the offence, and it is believed it was specifically targeted for the vehicle, the PCSO said. ALSO READ: Plans revealed for farm sold off by council Herefordshire town 'one of world's most difficult names to pronounce' Pictures: huge RAF planes spotted in flight over Herefordshire It is believed that the burglary took place at around 4am, with the crime later discovered by a neighbour. It was found that the offenders had entered the home's driveway and used a tool to snap the lock on the rear UPVC door, gaining access to the property's utility room. "Inside, they deliberately damaged the toilet plumbing, causing flooding in the ground-floor bathroom next to the point of entry," PCSO Westlake said. What are your thoughts? You can send a letter to the editor to have your say by clicking here. Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence. "The offenders then conducted a search of the lower floor, located the car keys, and stole the Audi RS 5." Police are warning locals to consider upgrading locks, keep car keys out of sight, using additional deadbolts or sash jammers on rear doors, and installing motion-sensor lighting, as well as setting up timed lights, installing CCTV, and fitting alarms. "If you have any information or CCTV footage that may assist in the investigation, or have any further information in relation to this, please contact West Mercia Police quoting incident number 00150_I_13022025," PCSO Westlake said.
