The first spy shots of Audi RS5 Cabrio are finally available. Following a number of rumors predicting the arrival of a convertible version of the RS5 and then Audi’s official confirmation of the project at the end of September, this model has been spotted by photographers nearby the Nürburgring. Up until now the RS5 has been seen in its coupe version only, but this prototype stripped of almost any sort of camouflage can give us a more accurate outlook on how the final product will look like.

The pictured model wears the complete RS5 front, with its bigger front bumper and air intakes, RS5-spec brakes and wider wheel arches. Its back instead is still the one of the S5 as you can tell from the S5 badges, smaller fenders and the typical S-type quad exhaust pipes instead of the definitive 2 oval-shaped cans adopted by the RS5 (probably in an attempt to mislead the most shallow onlookers). Apart from the folding soft-top, the RS5 Cabrio is expected to be almost identical to the its coupe counterparts, meaning it should come with the same 4.2-liter V-8 engine (450hp and 450Nm of torque).
