perhaps 345 hp just to differentiate if from the S4. audi has a very versatile engine on its hands.

and 2010 MY cars could begin being built as early as Q2 2009.

Default Interesting, since S5 is supposed to be GT car why would they put S4 engine in it?

I prefer the v8 anyway.

Default v8 prefered here too...

this only adds to the value that the 08 and 09's will have since they may be the only v8s made for the 5 series. Yay for resale.

Or maybe not. hehe.

Default 4th... versatile engine or not (it is!), I'd rather see the S5 stay V8.

bring on the 3.0T for A5 please!

Sounds like the supercharged engine would make the car faster WITH better fuel economy... although it would lose the beautiful noise the 4.2 liter makes.

Not faster if it's like the new S4 - Less HP, More Torque, and Turbo lag(??)

5th. Confirmation of the V6 in the S4, made me happy to own my V8 S5.

Default Appears that this has been somewhat confirmed by Audi of Canada

Though not entirely sure if this is only for the European market or for everybody. DSG still isn't one of those things for the S5... at this time.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/canada/threads/17294.phtml#139069">https://forums.audiworld.com/canada/threads/17294.phtml#139069</a</li></ul>
