Audi RS 5

The Audi RS 5 is the high performance version of the Audi A5. The first generation, a two door coupe, premiered at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with a naturally aspirated 4.2 litre V8 FSI engine rated at 331 kW, a seven speed dual clutch gearbox and quattro four wheel drive with a crown gear centre differential. It reached 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, with its top speed limited to 250 km/h or 280 km/h on request, and the suspension sat 20 mm lower than the standard A5. A facelift followed about a year and a half after launch, with a new grille and LED rear lamps. A cabriolet arrived in 2013 and production of that generation ended in June 2015. Later A5 generations brought a new RS 5, with a Sportback unveiled in 2018 and saloon and Avant bodies unveiled in 2026.
