Audi has decided to bring the long-awaited RS5 coupe to the United States, according to Audi officials in response to questions from Inside Line.
Every RS5 coupé shipped to the US will be fully optioned and include the rear-axle sport differential, Dynamic Ride Control software upgrades, and possibly the chromed thundering Boysen sport exhaust — all optional in other markets. The coupé has a V8 engine producing up to 444 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. It catapults you from zero to 62mph in about 4.6 seconds. The top speed is limited to 155mph.
They also stated the US pricing which approximately would start at around $ 69,500. Including the standard North American kit it would make an MSRP of just over $75,000.
The vehicle will hit the streets in the US at the end of August or early September 2011.
Not it’s time for the Q7 V12 and they will smash the competition.
