AUDI RS5

A powerful view

The exterior of the Audi RS 5 Coupé

A sight that sports car fans cannot get enough of. The front end is clearly characterised as an Audi RS model by the Audi singleframe radiator grille with a matt aluminium-look frame. For the first time in the RS 5, the radiator grille with diamond-pattern mesh has a high-gloss metallic surface in anthracite.

Other features of the front end are the large-sized air intakes that guarantee a supply of cooling air and, their proportions hint at the power that is concealed behind them. Providing a visual counterbalance to this are the slender headlights with LED daytime running lights which sparkle next to the singleframe. And if the front end still isn't exciting enough for you there is also the option of ordering the optional black or aluminium matt styling packages which create very distinct accents of their own.

Accentuated wheel arches and sill extensions define the powerful side contour of the vehicle. Behind the spokes of the attractively styled large cast aluminium wheels the high-performance braking system with high-gloss black brake calipers can be clearly seen. The clearly defined trailing edge on the rear of the vehicle completes the sporty appearance.

The rear end of the vehicle will inspire you with its clear lines into which the newly styled bumper with integral diffuser insert and the large oval tailpipes blend harmoniously. Providing a feast for the eyes and the ears is the optional sports exhaust system with black tailpipe trims. It ensures that the Audi RS 5 sounds even sportier. The spoiler, which automatically extends out of the tailgate at speeds in excess of 120 km/h to increase downforce, completes the striking look.

The interior of the Audi RS 5 Coupé

The first impression you get of the interior is of a clear design, high-quality materials and superior workmanship. A successful interface between car and driver, created for your individual driving style.

The shaped sports seats in Alcantara-leather combination or Silk Nappa leather provide excellent hold. Matching the seats, inlays in Carbon or, if desired, in Piano finish black, Matt brushed aluminium or dark Stainless steel mesh create an exclusive overall look. This impression is rounded off by sporty controls such as the RS 5 multifunction leather sports steering wheel, the RS 5 selector lever knob and aluminium look pedals. Everything is functionally designed – and yet it exudes an intensely exciting atmosphere. 

Irresistible power

The engine of the Audi RS 5 Coupé

From the first moment you start the engine you will feel the power that's behind the Audi RS 5. It is generated by the 4.2 litre V8 FSI engine. It uses the FSI® direct petrol injection technology which we have been able to transfer from the race track to the road and works with our proven high-rev concept.

In FSI technology, the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber where it is then highly compressed. This creates a very uniform fuel/air mixture, resulting in very efficient combustion and consequently in improved power delivery and power yield. In addition, direct fuel injection cools the combustion chambers so that engine compression can be increased, bringing advantages in both output and torque.

One other element responsible for the irresistible power of the RS 5 is the high-rev concept. It gives you a higher output per litre of displacement combined with smooth power delivery over the entire speed range. The extremely agile and lively power unit responds immediately, whilst also delivering a rich, satisfying sound.

The high-performance engine in the Audi RS 5 permits engine speeds of up to 8,500 rpm. Its maximum torque of 430 Nm is reached at between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm, although at least 90 percent of the power is available over a broad speed range of 3,000 to 8,000 rpm. This allows the RS 5 to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds – and then effortlessly onwards to the 200 km/h mark in a further 10.9 seconds.

Fuel consumption and emissions data:
Fuel consumption, combined: 10.8 l/100 km
CO2 emissions, combined: 252 g/km

Consistently efficient.

S tronic

The S tronic gearbox combines the low fuel consumption of the manual gearbox with the advantages of an automatic. In automatic mode, its control function performs gearshifts swiftly and times them for optimised fuel consumption. The huge spread of ratios covered by S tronic allows the top gears to operate at very low engine speeds.

LED technology

The LEDs used in daytime running lights, side turn indicators and rear lights are made to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Not only that, but the saving in power consumption that they offer is as much as half compared with conventional bulbs.
