The new lighter, faster RS 5 coupé just isn’t good enough in terms of specification so Audi have decided to put extra kit in for not that much extra cost. Available to order later this month priced from £62,900 OTR – first deliveries are scheduled to arrive to UK owners later this summer. So what do you get for the money? Well you get the new 2.9-litre V6 bi-turbo TFSI which is said to produce 437bhp and 600Nm of torque from 1,900 – 5,000rpm. You also get the ability to charge to 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds with a electronically limited 155mph top speed which can be increased to 174mph Audi have redesigned the graphical interface of Virtual Cockpit with RS-specific displays. That’s kind of like a bespoke service isn’t it? The bi-turbo’s power is managed by the eight-speed tiptronic transmission with optimised shift times and by the reworked five-link front and all-new five-link rear RS-specific suspension, which is of course supported by quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The centre differential-based system distributes drive forces in a 40:60 front-to-rear ratio favouring dynamic handling with optimal traction. UK specification models are augmented by the quattro sport differential, which also apportions torque optimally between the rear wheels to promote even greater handling adjustability. For the most committed drivers Audi Sport also offers optional RS sport suspension with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC), ceramic brakes and dynamic steering with RS-specific tuning. You also get standard design details such as LED headlamps, 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels and of course not upscale Audi performance car is complete without a Nappa Leather clad interior. Posers will the Audi Smartphone Interface includes Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and with MMI navigation plus with MMI touch, which now also includes LTE internet connectivity as part of the Audi connect package. Technologies, including a head-up display and as many as 30 driver assistance systems are available from the options list to help the RS 5 remove even more layers of stress from every journey and leave drivers free to immerse themselves as fully as possible in the performance. For Audi less is more for the Audi consumer the more you pay the less get except for the perception of getting more when you really don’t get that much extra. It’s really all about the driving people.
