Jim Autos UK is United Kingdom’s top Exporter Dealer of Audi RS5 Coupe
The Audi RS story has unfolded over the last fifteen years, delivering a series of elegant yet supremely powerful models – and the RS 5 is no exception. As a direct descendant of our most exciting high-performance models, it’s the culmination of the technical expertise we’ve gained on roads and racetracks all over the world. Our long history of motorsport success is evident throughout the RS 5. Some of the world’s toughest races have taught us how to propel our cars ever more powerfully, responsively and efficiently. The RS 5’s engine epitomises this knowledge. A close relative of the V10 in the Audi R8, the 4.2 V8 FSI® engine develops 450 horsepower and transmits a maximum of 430 Nm of torque. However, you’ll see as you read on, there’s much more to the RS 5 than thrilling power and handling – but we think you’ll agree that these qualities make an excellent place to start.
Technology
quattro® with Sports differential
Making its debut in the Audi RS 5 is the very latest generation of quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive – the exclusive road-holding technology that’s helped Audi dominate the racetrack ever since 1980. Two decades and many evolutions later, it’s 2.5kg lighter, more compact and now features the brand new crown-gear centre differential – an addition which achieves high locking values for even greater traction. A torque vectoring function also distributes different amounts of driving force to each wheel as necessary. The result: firm traction, precision handling and high lateral stability – no matter what the road conditions.
Audi RS5 Coupe Engine
Petrol
A 4.2-litre V8 FSI® engine is one innovation that sets the RS 5 apart – and keeps it there. That’s thanks to our Le Mans-winning fuel-injection technology, which provides enhancements to fuel efficiency, power and torque. But this unit is capable of more than just delivering raw power; it’s also adept at using it. Launch control combines both braking and acceleration to give you the quickest possible start, taking the RS 5 from 0 to 62mph in just 4.6 seconds. And once you accelerate, the engine provides consistent power build-up and superb responsiveness across the entire rev range. So when you need to ask for that bit more power, whatever the situation, you can be confident it will deliver.
Audi RS5 Coupe Transmission
S tronic®
Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the S tronic® dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost as two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered and the other the even-numbered gears. So when you’re accelerating in second, it has third gear waiting for you. And once you make the switch, it’s already thinking about fourth. With two clutches working together, you can change gears almost instantly while experiencing smooth, uninterrupted power.
