Technical specifications

The engine is based on the V8 high-speed engine of the RS4 , which appeared in 2005 . Compared to this, the output of the V8 engine in the RS5 has been increased by 22 kW (30 hp) and is achieved at over 8000 rpm. The torque of 430 Nm remained unchanged, but is available in a speed range from 4000 to 6000 rpm.

The RS5 comes with the 7-speed dual clutch transmission ( S tronic ) and permanent all-wheel drive ( quattro ) as standard . For the first time, a crown gear differential is installed as a center differential instead of the otherwise common Torsen differential . Compared to its predecessor, it is two kilograms lighter and enables the drive torque to be distributed without delay. The basic distribution of drive torque is 40% on the front and 60% on the rear axle. For better traction, a maximum of 70% can be directed forwards or 85% backwards.

Transmission, accelerator and steering characteristics as well as the response behavior of the standard exhaust flap control can be changed by the driver ( audi drive select ); this also applies to the characteristics of the optional components dynamic steering and sport differential.
