Matte black RS5 Mule

[Homer_Bart]

Extra flared fenders, furrowed-brow visage, and a sinister matte black paintjob, all accompanied by a V8 snarl. While it's a development prototype, the RS5 mule snapped during lucky-dog brake testing duty in the Alps strikes us as the perfect look for a topped-out Audi two-door built for high speed strafing. When a car is coated in matte black and backs it up with 400-plus horsepower of engine, it means business, and the RS5's stock in trade will be all-wheel drive enabled speed.

 

If Audi really wants its new coupe variant to be tough, we propose sending a mule or two out for torture at the hands of automotive journalists. Thanks for the tip, Julio!

I'm sure it'll have cracking performance, but I'm not so sure about the air intakes below the headlights. They look too much like the ones on the TTRS and don't really suit the look of a more subtle, grown up car

Well, the RS5 has got to look different from the normal A5 and S5, so the huge intakes can really differentiate the broadband model away from the dial-up ones :p

Love it! the non protruding exhausts in the rear bumper are a little weird but otherwise, spot on
