Now that we've seen the RS 5 Avant testing, it's only natural that North Americans are eager to see it come to this side of the pond. America hasn't always been on the short list for RS Avants, but the C8 RS 6 Avant proved the market demands just such a car. So, how can we coerce Audi of America and Audi Canada to bring it over? One enthusiast is trying his best by using the tools at his disposal, namely a petition over on Change.org.

We've received a new set of spy photos of RS 5 Avant test mules in cold climates, offering a view of new details like wheels and bodywork. We figured, along with that, we'd take the opportunity to summarize what we know and what's been said by reliable sources in the press.

The latest round of RS 5 intel comes from AutoCar, a proven reliable source on upcoming new product covering a car we’ve already seen spy photos of testing and for which there’s a consensus on configuration. Details reported by AutoCar begin to spell out more production details that, if true, suggest an even more potent B-segment longroof from Audi Sport GmbH.
As we already know, internal combustion engine (ICE) offerings from Audi wi...

What a week for our spy photographer sources to be in frigid Sweden photographing cold weather testing. Turns out the heat was in Bavaria, as photographers for outlets such as CarWow and Carscoops nabbed shots of maybe one of the most hotly anticipated new models… the upcoming B10 RS 5 Avant.
Yes. RS 5.
Yes. Avant.
For those not keeping track, Audi will move its ICE product range to the odd numbers of its naming convention – A3, A...

Well this is a different drag race. What we have here today is a completely stock Audi RS 5 against a not so stock AWD Honda Civic wagon. This may be the 1st time we've ever seen this matchup on Video of the Day. The Honda has a 2.4L four cylinder that's been heavily modified to the tune of 834hp and it only weighs 2,400lbs. The RS 5 has a 2.9l twin-turbo V6 with 450hp and weighs in at 3,764lbs. This should make for ...

Ok...this is one Audi that I knew existed but have never seen in the flesh and that's a shame...because in this color combination (or any other one), it's beautiful.
