One Audi A5 RS5 has been spied in a parking lot in China, among other dusty Audi’s. The RS5 was likely a test vehicle meaning Audi will bring the sportsmachine to China soon. It will be the first Audi ‘RS’ model for the Chinese market.

The RS5 wasn’t well received in the Western press, it lost each and every test. But whatever expensive, the Chinese will snap it up. And expensive it will be, a normal S5 already costs almost 1 million yuan. The RS5 for sure will do good to Audi’s image in China, that is, if it doesn’t lose every test yet again in the Chinese press.
