Turns out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/audi\/\">Audi<\/a> has also been working on a sedan version, but it\u2019s not until now that we can see it up close for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/09\/can-the-audi-rs5-avant-snatch-bmw-m3-tourings-nurburgring-record\/\">Can The Audi RS5 Avant Snatch BMW M3 Touring\u2019s Nurburgring Record?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A heavily-camouflaged prototype of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/audi-rs5\/\">the RS5 Sedan<\/a> was spotted during hot-weather testing in Europe, and it\u2019s shaping up to be just as butch and aggressive as its long-roof sibling.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>The M3 and C63 rival has a front end that sits wide and low and includes a large black singleframe grille. The muscular front wheel arches are unmistakable for a serious Audi Sport model. Much of the car\u2019s side design is hidden, although we can see small vents behind the front arches, bulging hips at the rear, and a beautifully sleek roof line. It all looks rather lovely and should definitely give its rivals a run for their money in the design stakes.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Audi-RS5-2.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" New Audi RS5 Sedan Spotted For The First Time, Will It Be An M3 Killer?\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Audi-RS5-2-1024x576.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><figcaption>SH Proshots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/audi\/\">The finished car<\/a> will also have a rear end that stands out as much as the front. Visible on this prototype are a small lip spoiler and large dual exhausts.<\/p>\n<p>All new Audi RS5 models will adopt the same powertrain. This is expected to consist of an updated twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6, which is expected to deliver more power and fewer emissions. The key development of this powertrain is that it will be coupled to a plug-in hybrid system, meaning healthy gains over the current RS4\u2019s 444 hp are inevitable. Will it rival the 671 hp of the C 63 S E Performance? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<div id=\"e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758&#8221;);<br \/>\n             }<br \/>\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130&#8221;);<br \/>\n}         });<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SH Proshots<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63 S had better watch out as the new RS5 Sedan is just around the corner.
