Earlier in the week, the overall 'World Car of the Year' Top 10 field was announced. The Top 3 finalists in both categories will be named at a press conference at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and the winner in both categories will be announced at the 2011 New York International Auto Show in April. The Audi RS5 features a new 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 with 444 bhp (331 kW; 450 PS) and 317 lb·ft (430 N·m) of torque. The engine is a re-worked version of the old RS4/R8 V8, which is closely related to the V10 in the R8. (Audi RS 5 Coupe/)
