But it could take a little while.<\/p>\n<p>The first RS5s will begin arriving in customers&#8217; hands in Germany this coming June with a sticker price pegged at &euro;65,300, representing a 32.4 percent price hike over the existing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/s5\">S5<\/a> coupe. Inside Line calculates that translates to about $88k by straight conversion, but applied to the U.S. market price for the S5, the 32.4% increase comes out closer to $69,500. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/audi\">Audi<\/a>, however, doesn&#8217;t anticipate selling many of the super-coupes Stateside, and is therefore planning on bringing every RS5 over fully equipped, with the sport differential, Dynamic Ride Control system and Boysen sport exhaust. <\/p>\n<p>So equipped, sources peg the American price for a loaded RS5 at around $75,000. But Audi reportedly warns not to start counting the days just yet, as first North American deliveries likely won&#8217;t begin before August or September 2011.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-audi-rs5\/\">2011 Audi RS5<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-audi-rs5\/#2901631\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/audirs5large052_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-audi-rs5\/#2901630\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/audirs5large051_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-audi-rs5\/#2901552\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/audirs5large027_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-audi-rs5\/#2901553\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/audirs5large028_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-audi-rs5\/#2901627\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/audirs5large048_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insideline.com\/audi\/rs5\/audi-rs5-444-hp-coupe-will-come-to-the-us.html\">Inside Line<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/22\/report-audi-rs5-to-arrive-stateside-by-sept-2011-again\/\">Report: Audi RS5 to arrive Stateside by Sept 2011, again<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:31:00 EST.
