Default New Motor Trend Article on the RS5

In case you haven't seen it, here's a link to a nice article on the RS5. 2018 Audi RS 5 Coupe First Drive Review

It makes mention of some things that will be standard on the US version, as well as some things that won't be available and a couple of options are mentioned. My take is that the car maybe isn't as visceral as it was the the V8, but has evolved into a more refined machine; quieter and more understated. Maybe it's not what everyone would like, but it's what I'm looking forward to. They're speculating a price tag (starting, to be sure) around $70k.

Enjoy!

So same engine design with a smaller displacement, different/extra turbo, and probably beefier internals.
