Enhanced U.K. specification for the all new Audi RS5 Coupe

Precision shares equal billing with power in the all new Audi RS5 Coupe, and this is particularly true of U.K.-bound examples, which benefit from an enhanced specification bringing the pin-sharp clarity of the Audi Virtual Cockpit and the optimal handling adjustability delivered by the Audi sport differential as standard. The new high-performance, high-technology coupe with its advanced new 444bhp V6 bi-turbo TFSI becomes available in the U.K. later this month and will touch down there later in the summer.

With 600Nm of torque, the new 2.9-litre V6 holds a 170Nm advantage over its naturally aspirated predecessor, and delivers it to the tune of a charismatic soundtrack reminiscent of the V6 TFSI powering the original B5 RS4. The top model in the A5 family sprints from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds and with the optional dynamic package reaches a top speed of 280km/h.

Two turbochargers positioned centrally between the cylinder banks guarantee exceptional response throughout the rev range, and combustion technology employing the B-cycle process with central direct injection ushers in a new level of efficiency for an RS model. Aided by a 60kg overall weight reduction versus the outgoing car, the V6 bi-turbo is capable of up to 13.8km/L combined, corresponding to 197g/km of CO₂ - an efficiency gain of 17 percent over the previous model.
