This is pure guesswork. The B8 platform is completely new so we dont know what to expect, we dont even have spypics showing the new bodywork. I just put together what the RS5 could end up look like.

Changes:

- Deeper front bumper with RS style intakes.
- Audi Concept wheels (they are actually Audi wheels)
- Wider wheel arches
- Side skirts
- Rear diffuser with RS style exhausts

Excuse any mistakes I made, I'm no pro

HKZ786,

You never cease to amaze me with your work, no a PRO, I right.

If I had anything to said that I reckon might be wrong is the two side openings below the headlights, these are totally different to that of the RS6, do you not think that they would follow the same design.

Apart from that I think everything is peachy.

Nice work.

Those wheels are very un-audi-like.

Thanks bro.

Regarding the intakes, I really wasnt sure what they would be like. The RS6 is based on the A6 platform that sold alongside the B7 A4. Since the new A4 and A5 are on the new B8 platform I thought maybe the design would be different.

Also, the RS6 is a lot more subtle compared to the RS4. That's because the RS6 is a higher class and can afford to be a little more subtle like the M5. Who knows but? only time will tell.

Here footie you might be interested in a new thread I'm about to open. Keep eyes open

Yep but they featured on the A1 concept I wouldnt actually have these on a production model, but I do think the RS5 would suit nice multispokes instead of 5 spokes like the S5 and RS6

I just noticed something, you have included some of the new TTS designs in the front nose, don't know if anyone else noticed this but it looks great.

It would be great to see the complete TTS nose on the RS5 just to see what it would look like.

Now you're talking. It's funny but when I first saw the pictures of the TTS the nose was a total turn off, probably the same for a lot of people and maybe still is but it's amazing that as soon as the official photos were released I fall for it completely. And seeing it on the RS5 only confirms that this is the design language that Audi needs to adopt for future sporty models.

I'm with you there Footie. I like the TT-S even though I hated spypics, I couldnt even bring myself to slightly like it! Official pics soon changed that though!

I think all the work Audi has done with the TT is amazing. I love the S-Line, TT-S, Clubsport Concept. Cant wait to see the TT-R, I'm sure it'll have Clubsport hints in it's design

The interesting thing that Audi is doing with the TT is that the S-Line doesn't look anything like the TTS which is good. Maybe BMW should copied Audis move and make sure the M/Sport and M models look different.

Good deductions HKS. I would've made the same choices. Great work as usual, especially with those fender flares.

Great color combo. I'd pick the same thing too. The CA I talked to over at my dealer agreed with this combo as well. The colors work really well with one another.
