The new flagship of
the Audi A5 series model will employ the twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 engine, paired to an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission. Audi’s
version of the new V6 engine is expected to make over 450 PS in the case
of the new RS5 and around 600 Nm of peak torque.
This will enable the new Audi RS5 to accelerate from
0 to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds, with the top speed limited to
either 250 km/h or as an option to 280 km/h. Power
will be transmitted to all fours via Audi’s trademark Quattro all-wheel drive
system.
The new RS5 will
continue to distinguish itself from its lesser siblings by employing the
ever-gorgeous wide fenders with matching bumpers that feature rather huge air
intakes at the front and a diffuser at the rear. A set of massive wheels and
brakes along with a subtle rear spoiler will also be present.
Audi is planning to reveal the new RS5 in both Coupe
and Convertible versions at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, with production set
to start this June.
