Not more than two weeks from now own, the Geneva motor show will start again in Switzerland, this being the 80th time when some of the biggest name from the automotive industry will unveil their new prototypes, future series-car or fully-advanced engines in the “country of the Rolex watches”. There are going to be some interesting cars out there so let’s take a look at the most exciting prospects:

Audi RS5
One of the most interesting debuts will be Audi’s release of the RS5, the riposte to the BMW M3. With a direct-injection 4.2-litre V8 (the same engine that powers the R8) and a 174 mph top speed, the price of approximately $90.000 is maybe a little too much, but the Germans from Ingolstadt still have an ace in hand. Comparing to the BMW M3, the new Audi is relatively economical. While the Bavarian car manages 25.2mpg, Audi claims a better rate: 26.2mpg. Thank the dual-clutch transmission and the intelligent alternator (that’s only charged during coasting and braking) for that. The power is released to the wheels by a 7-speed S-tronic gearbox. The RS5 may look like A5 or S5, but there are definitely differences: a bigger front bumper, two huge air intakes, leather and Alcantara sports seats or optional carbon pack that trims the engine bay.
