I checked, it comes with 450 hp.
I dunno about anyone else but that sounds like plenty.
Some of these cars out here are over-endowed with power that will never be used. Manufacturers are happy to charge a premium to supply us Americans with all the power we are willing to pay for. Sometimes it's just illogical. I see little old guys all the time in AMG Benz. Why?

Bragging rights. "I can run the quarter mile .2 seconds faster than you can"
Sad, really...because unless you track often, I doubt that .2 seconds will EVER come into play. EVER.
And that's why I love Audi's. Design>>>performance. I'd rather have SMOKING HOT car with 300HP (just an example) than a bland car with 400HP. And speaking of which, holy hot momma, those pictures! Sadly, the RS5 does not come with a manual gearbox like the S5 does...

I'd kill for one of these. The interior looks really nice too.

That isn't enough?
While I would own one in a heartbeat the RS5 has gotten its butt kicked in most major reviews in Europe, losing to the IS F/C63/M3 in EVO and CAR. Its pricey and to them the suspension isn't sorted at all and it lacks torque.

Buahahaa.. exactly.

I love the car (and most of the Audi line up) - just wouldn't want to own one.

I've always said it would be a blast to debadge one and then blow the doors off of 98% of cars on the road.

Can you imagine the stunned look on driver's faces when they're staring at the tailights of a station wagon?

This.

Nice to look at, but especially for the price, not worth the premium.

Not sure why you say this when they do have push button starts... Key doesn't need to be pushed into some stupid slot like BMW's either.

i never recall having to stick the key into the slot of my m3 when i press on the start button.

if i am correct, both lexus lfa and ferrari 458 you have to put in the key, and then press on the start button.
