2027 Audi RS5 liftback and wagon leaked

Low-resolution photos of the next-generation Audi RS5, showing undisguised liftback and wagon versions of the mid-size luxury/performance car, have been leaked on the internet, suggesting the official reveal of Ingolstad’t latest BMW M3-fighter can’t be that far away.

The images you see here were posted on Instagram by cochespias1 (since removed) and shiftech. It’s not clear how these two accounts came across these pics, but they show us the new car doesn’t stray too far from the established RS formula.

There are, of course, dramatically pumped front and rear wheel-arches, with the trailing edge of the front fenders featuring a bulging vertical vent. Sculpted side sills link the chunky arches, which house split six-spoke alloy wheels shod with low-profile tyres.

At the front, the blacked-out single-frame grille seamlessly flows into the gloss black surrounds for the side air intakes. Meanwhile, the rear is dominated by a pair of massive oval exhaust outlets jutting out of the gloss black diffuser that incorporates an F1-style third brake light.

We’re pretty certain these leaked photos are genuine because they match up with earlier spy photos, as well as the two teaser videos released on social media by Audi over the past 24 hours.

Details shown in the teasers include the front seat design, the lighting signature of the OLED tail-lights, and cross-drilled disc brakes with red calipers (bottom).
