The upcoming Audi RS5 has posed for a picture near the Nurburgring, strangely sporting quad pipes more reminiscent of the S-line cars rather than the dual ovals of the RS. And an S5 rear badge. The discrepancy is leading some to speculate that this is a mule using an S5 body — that or we've been misled about the engine offerings. We'll learn the truth at the Detroit Auto Show this January, and we sure hope to find a 450 HP V8 tucked between those fenders. galleryPost('audirs5kgp', 9, 'Previous Spy Photos Of The Audi RS5'); [ WCF ]

In addition to the big engine news, the leakers claim that we'll be seeing the rumored Audi A7 model in June of 2010, as well as an S7 version following that fall, and a return to form for the next generation Audi S4 . Look below for a detail look at what's coming up for Audi in the next three years. Audi A1 Starting at the bottom of the grid, the Audi A1 will maintain the currently planned 1.4 TFSI, but will get an 86 HP 1.2-liter TFSI good for a little less power but will be quite a bit easier on European wallets. Audi S4 It seems the B8 Audi S4 will be returning to its twin-turbo V6 roots, as early as this coming November. News of this respite from V8 shenanigans comes with virtually all positive notes, considering the engine is to displace 3.0 L but grunt out 330 HP, only 10 shy of the...
