Default RS5, can this be it??

sorry if its a repost but just saw this on autoblog....its not really underwhelming, but it doesnt exactly get me jealous either...its probably those wheels, but the side and rear also need some flare

I'd be surprised if they didn't do some flares on an RS5.

Default Turbo V8 would be sweeter. Turbo V10 would be too nose heavy if it even fits in the bay...

I know it's only a test mule but I'm also hoping for wider and more aggressive fenders/body to differentiate from A5/S5, and I'm sure that will be the case like all RS cars have been in the past.

Default odd-looking front end. I bet it's just someone's S5 w/ a home-made front grille

generally even the test mules have oval (RS) exhaust

the production model *will* have more aggressive body styling, a grille that looks more like the honeycomb in the rest of the RS lineup, and the oval tips.
