It delivers a stunning power of 444 Hp at 8250 Rpm and a gorgeous torque of 430 Nm at 4000-6000 Rpm. Its engine is coupled with a 7-speed S tronic which simplifies the stress of drive and makes the machine the leading stuff in its class. The RS5 is run by quattro permanent all-wheel drive.



The Audi RS5 accelerates 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, while its top speed is 250 km/h.

Chilling on its suspension, the RS5 is equipped with the same basic five-link front suspension and independent trapezoidal-link rear suspension. Still, Audi has upgraded dampers and springs. This not only increases performance, but also reduces body roll. While braking has some same story of upgrade. With eight-piston monobloc front calipers and single-piston sliding rear calipers over vented and drilled rotors, braking system is perfect than ever before.



Standard wheels are 19-inch alloys, but you can also have 20-inch five-blade alloys for more impressive drive.

As the RS5 is highly priced the machine will only be rolled out in very limited numbers by Audi.
