Audi confirmed the RS5 model for the US market. The car is powered by 4.2 liter V8 delivering 450hp at 8 250rpm and 430 Nm of torque (317.15 lb-ft).

The 4.2 FSI catapults the heavy sports coupe ( 1725kg) from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and the top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155mph). The limiter can be put on 280 km/h at customer's request. The mighty V8 engine returns 21 mpg, which perfect for such brutal force.

Further details about equipment and pricing will be released later this year.
