The Audi RS5 was far from frumpy-looking before, and the latest updates are even more visually impressive.

The German automaker on Tuesday showed off updates to both the RS5 coupe and RS5 Sportback destined for Europe, though we haven't received confirmation for the US yet.

For the slight refresh, we get a mix of minor updates to sweeten the package.

At the rear of the updated sports car there's a redesigned rear diffusor with the typical dual exhaust outlets sitting proudly.

They still play the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6's soundtrack as 444 horsepower roar to life, accompanied by 442 pound-feet of torque.

Up front, the exterior gets a wider and flatter front grille that falls more in line with the RS6 and RS7

Keep the throttle to floor and 62 mph comes in 3.9 seconds.

There's also a thoughtful nod to the 1984 Audi Sport Quattro in the slim air vents sitting just above the grille.

Audi said the updated RS5 will go on sale in Europe "shortly" with a starting price equivalent to $92,500 at current exchange rates. For comparison, today's RS5 starts at $74,200 before destination in the US.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
