The RS5 and C63 AMG should "easily" outperform the M3 in a straight line thanks to their superior torque. The C63 has 600nm max torque, and 500 nm between 2000-6000 rpm. The RS5 is expected to have somewhere btw 600-700 nm over a broad rpm range. The M3 has 400 nm max torque.
But whether they can outperform or keep up with the M3 when the road isn't that straight, like around the NBR, will be very interesting to see...

Tim,
I do not know if you will agree with me but, it seems that Audi S5 and new M3 are offering the best value currently. S5 is more expensive then 335i(although, not very much with the similar options, at least on my market) but, it is simply better car IMHO. New M3 s on the other hand offering same accleration as R8(keep in mind that according to some EVO guys M3 is actually faster then R8 in 0-140mph and 0-150mph!!) for 45% less money...

New 4.0L V8 with Bi-turbo, FSI of course, smaller version of new RS6 engine. You can expect around 450hp/600Nm...
When will the RS5 arrive?
The word on the web is early 2008...

More likely late 2008... Problem is not the engine but, stupid S-Tronic(7speed version).

Let me tell you one thing. I do not belive in that EVO "Wonder lap"... It is simply not possible that Gallardo SL is just 0.3s faster then R8 around Bedford.
And current "Help" from some F1 driver is also not neccessery IMHO...
