The RS5 when it eventually arrives will be way dearer than the M3, though to be fair it will be in a different class performance wise. Some are saying it will be Twin Turboed but there is a growing number of articles pointing towards a V10 like that of the S6 though with more power, as the new platform that the A5 uses will also be used for both the next A6 & A8 and as both have V10 versions this proves that the chassis in the A5 was designed to cope.
The only reason why this might not happen is that it will place the car is direct competition with the M6 which would sound highly unlikely.
