Introducing the Audi RS 5 Coupé
Audi introduced the very first RS 5 Coupé back in 2010, evolving beautifully with new generations to make it a leader within its class.
A more practical, 4-door version, called the Sportback, was introduced later on, and makes a great choice for those who desire greater levels of practicality.
Based on the handsome Audi A5 Coupé, the RS 5 Coupé acts as the range-topping version in the A5 range, and presents the perfect mix of sophistication enhanced to new levels with the sought treatment you only get with an Audi RS model.
Design and Practicality
Staying true to the DNA of Audi RS models, the RS 5 Coupé showcases typical Audi sophistication, with the enhanced dynamic flair an RS Audi exudes.
And yet, the Audi RS 5 Coupé still manages to deliver ultimate elegance and beauty in its presentation, proving you can have ultimate performance and do it in a beautiful fashion.
The RS 5 Coupé is more than practical too. Of course, the Sportback will benefit those looking for 4-door saloon-like ease, whilst those who do not really need back seat usage that often will perhaps prefer the Coupé here.
That said, despite being sleek and still offering all-wheel drive, the Coupé offers a huge 450-litre boot.
Technology and Safety
Being the range-topping model in the Audi A5 range, the RS 5 Coupé take the already excellent foundations set by the standard car and take it to the next level, and then some.
The familiar Audi virtual cockpit is complemented by an accompanying infotainment set-up, which again is fully digital with crisp clear graphics. The use of leather and alcantara ensure the RS 5 Coupé has a racing-inspired feel too, but in the most luxurious of ways.
Connectivity like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure ease of use, whilst the RS 5 Coupé is also loaded with safety tech, with the below features being available in the range:
- Lane keeping assist
- Automated emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Night vision
- Brake assist
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear parking camera
- Forward-collision warning
Engines and Performance
Under the bonnet of an RS 5 Coupé, is a 2.9-litre, 444bhp, bi-turbo V6 petrol engine. This ensures the RS 5 Coupé can complete 0 to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds, with a top speed limited to 174mph.
This is helped by the slick and fast 8-speed automatic transmission, which you take control of manually via paddles behind the steering wheel, if you would prefer. And you can enjoy all the performance an RS 5 Coupé has to offer in any weather, thanks to the legendary Quattro all-wheel drive system.
RS 5 Coupé models also sit much lower than regular Audi A5 Coupé, too, helping give a more dynamic edge to the already impressive RS performance.
