While Audi execs are whistling dixie about the possibility of the new RS5 Coupe making its way on this side of the Atlantic, Automobile magazine is reporting that the 450-horsepower strong stallion from Ingolstadt is likely to arrive in the U.S. by summer of 2011.
Unfortunately, the magazine didn’t reveal a source for the rumor, so we’re a bit hesitant to call this one a done deal.
The all-wheel drive RS5 coupe was unveiled for the first time to the public at this year’s edition of the Geneva Motor Show in March.
It is powered by a 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine pumping out 450 ponies propelling the coupe from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.6 seconds and on to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h or 155mph.
Sales of the Audi RS 5 will begin in Europe within the next few months with pricing set at around €77,700 or about US$104,000.
