Less than 24 hours before the official reveal on the sidelines of the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Audi released a first set of photos and a video teaser of its “mystery” RS5 project, which as you can see, is somehow connected to the automaker’s recent acquisition of Italian sports motorcycle maker Ducati.
The photos show an Audi Sport-themed RS5 Coupe with no other visible differences from the standard production model posing together in one picture with a Ducati motorcycle, while the Italian maker’s Pikes Peak competitors are featured alone.
Here’s what the brand with the four rings said: “Audi and Ducati are teaming up at Pikes Peak to celebrate their common heritage at this iconic mountain. In the spirit of coming together, we have something special in store for our biggest fans tomorrow (8.10.2012).”
Apparently, we will have to wait until Friday to learn more, but for now, hop over the break to check out the image gallery and the short promotional video clip.
