The Audi RS5is what happens when you give the gang at Quattro GmbH, Audi’s in-house performance division, a long leash and an open checkbook. While it shares its basic silhouette with the comparatively pedestrian A5/S5 coupe,the RS5 is an entirely different beast. At its core is a 450-hp 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 that loves to rev to its 8300-rpm redline.
Like the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove, the RS5 packs a powerful punch, boasting a 450-hp 4.2-liter V-8 that loves to rev. There is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, Quattro all-wheel drive, and a sport-tuned suspension, all on hand for maximum driving enjoyment. Few cars combine speed and beauty at so high a level as the RS5.
The RS5 is almost entirely crafted by human hands. All but approximately 25% percent of production is handmade (the rest is robotics).
This is a rare car for the discriminating enthusiast.
