The Audi RS5 is powered by a normally aspirated 4.2-liter V-8, with 450 horses under the hood and 317 pound-feet of torque. The engine works in harmony with a seven-speed S-tronic gearbox, equipped with launch control, and you’ll feel the power in all four wheels thanks to an updated quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Audi’s revised quattro AWD system now uses a self-locking crown-gear center differential, which can widely vary the amount of torque sent to the front or rear wheels. Electronic torque vectoring also works with the new center differential to ensure maximum traction. While 19-inch wheels are standard, 20-inch wheels will be an available option.

The interior is luxurious with Nappa leather or leather with Alcantara-insert sport seats. So far the preferred colour for the new Audi is black while the aluminum adds colour to the pedals, door sills and infotainment system controls, finally, RS5 logos complete the look.
