Anything Special About this Audi A/S5?

A few days ago, this A/S5 rolled up a few spots away from my GF's house. When I first heard it roll up (before seeing it) it sounded like a Gallardo was running around the corner. But, then this showed up. It's been here for a few days and the other day while walking the dogs, I snapped some photos with my iPhone. I couldn't see anything special about it other than it has no badges besides the Four Rings, it had what looked like a laptop in the passenger seat. What makes me question if there is anything special about it is that it's sporting Michigan Manufacturer plates. Other than that... Nothing other than a SERIOUS exhaust note...
Naw, but im with the majority, i think its a test mule.

look at the shark fin antenna, its not color keyed. Thats is not a US production A5 for sure. My bet that Audi is watch the forums and the big complain so far about the A5 is lack of power for a car that look like it can go much faster. Thats not a 3.2L V6 in there for sure.

The RS4 has a 4.2 NA V8 with 410 hp. I wasn't suggesting they would create a new TT V8. Just because a company has an engine they've already spent the money on R&D doesn't mean it doesn't cost more in parts/labor to create the engine, it does lessen the cost per engine (overall cost including R&D to design the engine).

If I were to get an A4 it would definitely be the 2.0T even if the V6 was still an option. It's just too good of an engine while the V6 is just an okay engine (compared to the 6 cyl competition). That being said, I wonder if the V10 would even fit in the A5's engine bay
