[M3-FAST]

Looking forward to seeing the 'real' pics when it is actually photgraphed or featured at the show. Seems £60k is a ball park guess by most motoring press. Looks quite 'special' IMO and will have more road presence than an M3 coupe I think.

So, crown-gear differential and they'll stick the sport diff on the rear axle as an option. 20 mm lower than a standard A5. Suspension options.

Quite high revving though, but the torque figures are similar to the RS4.

Not sure about that price - £68k!! Not paying that lol. TBC I assume. And the E92 M3 is £52,050 basic OTR or special edition is £54,550 basic OTR.

Hmm, interesting stuff.

Is this definitely for the UK market release or the US though?

Edit: It's got a Porsche type retractable diffuser.

I think they will have to price it closer to the M3, but it will cost more.

im really glad my guess on the engine was right, itll be a monster.

I have always liked the A5 proportions with the bolder looks of the the S-Line kit but these RS pics take it to the next league

Specs look v.impressive….guess a key test will be does it have the feel of the M3 (as we know, most Audi’s get criticised on this)

That's funny Helen, never heard them called that before!. In that case, my 'brass monkeys' have been needed continual warmer this winter
