The Audi A5 is a series of compact executive coupe cars produced by the German automobile manufacturer Audi since June 2007. The A5 range additionally comprises the coupe, cabriolet, and "Sportback" (a five-door liftback with a fastback roofline) version of the Audi A4 saloon and estate models.
Under Audi's internal platform numbering convention, the A5 is a member of the B-platform series of vehicles, sharing its platform designation with the A4 saloon and Avant. The first generation A5 (Type 8T) is therefore a member of the B8 family, whilst the second generation model (Type 8W6) is based on the B9. Both are derived from the Volkswagen MLB (Modular Longitudinal Matrix) architecture.
The RS 5 is powered by a 2.9 liter TFSI V6 twin turbo engine producing 331 kW (450 PS; 444 hp) and 600 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft) of torque that is also used in the Panamera 4S. It is 60 kg (132 lb) lighter than its predecessor. Power is delivered to the quattro system with a 8-speed automatic transmission. The RS 5 accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). It also comes with a honeycomb grille, wider fenders, and aggressively-styled front bumper with bigger openings than the A5 and S5.
Further developments include a new chassis featuring a five-link front and rear suspension coupled to Audi Sport’s Dynamic Ride Control system offering variable damping control. Other options included with a carbon-fiber engine cover and ceramic front brakes.
The RS 5 Sportback was unveiled at the 2018 New York Auto Show.
The RS 5 facelift was unveiled on December 10, 2019.
