Audi has a surprise in store for this weekend’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The company hasn’t divulged any information beyond the above photo of a shadowy RS5. The 90th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb will take place this weekend after being postponed from its original date of July 8 due to the wildfires in Colorado.
There are no RS5s included on the entry list for this year’s race—not yet, anyway—leading us to believe this one could be some sort of Pikes Peak special edition or the event’s pace car, or possibly both. We expect to have more information on Audi’s Pikes Peak RS5 surprise later in the week.
