Or, it was some idiot with a 2.0T who put a S5 and 3.0T badge on his car. You decide!

WTF? So the owner took off the 4.2 badging and put on the 3.0T badging???
Just a heads up to the OP, the Audi S5 Cabriolet comes with a 3.0T V6. Except the coupes all come with the 4.2L V8. |

The dead giveaway with any premium german car between the base model and higher models are the exhausts. Left side only = 2.0T.
3.2 = Similar to 335, 1 on each side.  S5 = quad

 , thanks. I haven't really been that interested in the a5, I mean I'm familiar with the powertrains but not that much with the cosmetics.

You're right. It's a great engine... in a Golf GTi. Not a big car like the A5.

I thought so too at first. I even test drove one before ordering my 1. Glad I didn't. The more I see them, the more they look bland and boring.

It was only a matter of time before Audi drivers would re-badge their cars to something more exotic. After all BMW drivers have been doing this for years.
Another example of how Audi continue to copy everything BMW does. LOL |

^ alas the above example is only a Photoshop. Anyhow who in their right mind would want to downgrade the R8 by putting on a BMW badge.
