Solution

I have to say many of you were very close and actually found the deciding first move: 1. ... Rxd5+!

However the most accurate continuations to win as fast as possible were not found. Let me show you now the fastest ways to win:

1. ... Rxd5+ 2. Kxd5 Rd8+

and now

a)

3. Kc6 Qd7+
4. Kb7 c5+
5. Kb6 Rb8+
6. Ka6 Qb7+
7. Kxa5 Ra8#
b)
3. Nd6 Rxd6+
4. Kc5 Qd7! (idea: Qc6#)
5. Re8+ Qxe8
6. Qh1 Qe5+
7. Kc4 Qd4+
8. Kb5 Qb4#
