408hp 3.0T-Powered Audi Q5 Custom to Headline Ingolstadt's Worthersee Presenc | « » 11:48 AM 5/19/2009 | |
|
Each year Wörthersee plays host to the now legendary GTI meet, at which auto enthusiasts and of course Audi fans from throughout Europe come together. AUDI AG once again has its own stand at this extraordinary event. The brand’s appearance at the 28th Wörthersee Tour (from May 20-23) in Reifnitz, Kärnten (Austria), is dedicated to the centennial celebration “100 years of Audi.” In addition to historic models from various decades, the Ingolstadt carmaker is featuring showcase vehicles such as the Audi TT RS, the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro and the Audi A1 Sportback. As a special highlight for the event at Wörthersee, Audi has prepared a customized Audi Q5 with 21-inch wheels, wider track, lowered ride height, a special paint finish and a power-enhanced 3.0 TFSI engine: the Audi Q5 custom concept.

The coolest and baddest thing about this Q5 is the 3.0T at 408HP. Cause if Audi can do it, then the aftermarket world can probably plus more.love the venturi style intakes in the fronts of the airboxes and i love how they painted the roof rails to accent the rest of the car.

So this car being a 408hp 3.0T could that hint at the B8 RS 4 having the same engine as well? I mean it sounds about right, so far I have not seen any spy videos/photos/stories on the next RS 4, could it be because their engine wasn't ready yet??

B8 RS cars will have a normally-aspirated 450-hp high-rev 4.2 V8. That's VERY solid info. US will not get the RS 4 Avant. It will get RS 5 only. There will be no sedan.

I love the matte paint finish and this Q5 on a whole!!! So that means the 3.0T might replace the 3.2 down the road- Someone here on the boards noted that the cornering headlamps were not on the Q5 due to its complex LEDs. This is not the case, because this Q5 has LEDs and the article notes cornering lamps. Now Audi have got to bring them here!!!

I don't have any intel on this, but looking at the way the A4 is going you have to wonder if it'll be a lifecycle change. I know Q7 will eventually get it to replace the 3.6. Looking at this power setup, this makes me wonder if this car is the mechanical equivalent of what was to be the Porsche Roxster S. I hear that car's been canned.

That would be really fun on the track, but you wouldn't be able to drive it at ACNA events since Q5s and Q7s are not allowed at ACNA track events...

hmmmm....is this a potential 2011 S4 spec engine? » | « » 5:41 PM 5/25/2009 | |
|
since the 3.0T seems to easily be able to get to 408hp spec in this Q5, I'm a little worried now that if I order a 2010 S4 333hp, Audi is going to bump up the power significantly for 2011. Should I hold off on buying a 2010 S4?

There's no precedent for such a change. My guess is that it will remain 333hp for at least a few years until a facelift. You can also assume there'll also be plenty of software upgrades from the aftermarket that can be used to hit these numbers.
