Superior driving performance and emotional design: The Audi RS 5 Sportback can now be ordered

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Audi Sport is now accepting orders for the #Audi #rs5sportback (combined fuel consumption l/100 km: 9.1 (25.8 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 207 – 206 (333.1 – 331.5 g/mi)* in Germany and other European countries. The five-door, high-performance model combines exceptional design and high everyday usability with maximum performance.

 

Extended wheelbase, short overhangs and a long, wraparound engine hood with power dome: The progressive exterior design of the #Audi #rs5sportback illustrates the model’s dynamics. A wide and flat Singleframe grille with quattro logo in matt black and massive air inlets with an RS-specific honeycomb structure adorn the front. An RS-typical diffuser insert, the RS exhaust system with oval tailpipes as well as a surface-mounted spoiler lip provide sporty accents at the rear. The #rs5sportback comes standard with 19-inch forged wheels; 20-inch wheels are available as an option. Customers can customize the new #Audi #rs5sportback with the gloss black, matt aluminum and carbon styling packages. The paint finish Sonoma green metallic is exclusive to the #Audi RS 5.

Finished entirely in black, the interior of the new #Audi #rs5sportback is richly and functionally equipped while offering space for five people. Details such as RS sport seats with optional honeycomb pattern in Fine Nappa leather and the flat-bottomed RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel underscore the sporty character of the five-door, high-performance coupé.

The inner values of the #rs5sportback also impress with power and efficiency. The 2.9 TFSI V6 biturbo engine produces 331 kW (450 hp). Its maximum torque of 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft) is available between 1,900 and 5,000 rpm. The #Audi #rs5sportback accelerates to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds on its way to an optional top speed of 280 km/h (174.0 mph).

A sportily tuned eight-speed tiptronic with optimized gear changing transfers the power of the 2.9 TFSI to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive with self-locking center differential. It distributes the power to the axles asymmetrically (40:60), ensuring dynamic handling with optimal traction combined with the greatest possible safety. When slippage occurs on an axle, most of the power immediately flows to the other axle – up to 70% to the front, and up to 85% to the rear. This locking effect enables a clearly-defined torque distribution and precise cooperation with the control systems. The optional sport differential with RS-specific tuning ensures even more dynamic responsiveness when steering and accelerating. The system actively and selectively distributes the torque between the rear wheels.

Thanks to five-link front and rear suspensions, customers experience comfort and uncompromised sportiness. With the standard RS sport suspension, the #rs5sportback is seven millimeters (0.3 in) lower than the #Audi S5 Sportback. #Audi Sport also offers the RS sport suspension with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC), ceramic brakes and dynamic steering with RS-specific tuning.

The #Audi #rs5sportback can be ordered immediately and will be at dealerships from mid-2019. The five-door, high-performance coupé has a base price of 82.700 euros.
