Audi has unveiled the New Audi RS5 Coupe
at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the range-topper of the A5 range. Order books
will open in May, with deliveries promised in the summer.
The Audi RS5 Coupe borrows design cues from the Audi
90 Quattro IMSA GTO. The front gets massive air inlets with the honeycomb
structure while the singleframe radiator grille is much wider and flatter than
in the base model. Next to the headlights are additional lateral air intakes
and outlets while tinted bezels differentiate the optional Matrix LED
headlights.
Interiors are in black while the sport seats with RS
badging gets optional diamond stitching in Fine Nappa leather and the steering
wheel is a flat-bottomed unit. RS logos are also present on the seats, steering
wheel, door sill trims and the selector lever.
Powering the new Audi RS5 Coupe is a 2.9 TFSI V6
bi-turbo engine which has its turbochargers positioned centrally between the
cylinder banks of the engine. Coupled to an 8-speed tiptronic with optimised
shift times and quattro permanent all-wheel drive, the engine is capable of
producing 450 PS of maximum power and 600 Nm of peak torque.
Audi Sport is also offering an exclusive Sonoma
Green metallic paint finish for the new Audi RS5 Coupe.
