Overview
- The new RS5 pairs a revised 2.9‑liter V6 biturbo (510 PS) with a 177 PS electric motor for a manufacturer‑stated 470 kW/639 PS and 825 Nm.
- Performance figures include 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of up to 285 km/h depending on specification.
- The underfloor battery is listed at 25.9 kWh gross (22 kWh net) for about 80 km of electric range and supports up to 11 kW AC charging for a full charge in roughly 2.5 hours.
- Audi fits a new all‑wheel‑drive setup with electromechanical rear‑axle torque vectoring, and early reviews say the tuning offsets much of the near‑2.5‑ton curb weight.
- Germany pricing starts at €106,200 for the sedan and €107,850 for the Avant, with comparisons noting the RS5 Avant’s 2,370 kg curb weight versus the BMW M3 Touring’s 1,905 kg and a smaller luggage capacity of 361–1,302 liters.
