Photos & Info: Audi RS5 Coupe

We had a shoot at sight opportunity on Saturday to capture this thunderbolt on our cameras, thanks to the owner, generously allowed us clicking pictures.

Relaxed, Soulful, Elegant is what I would call it as, a beautiful machine with a slender growl of the naturally aspirated V8 powerplant under the hood.

The RS5 is a high performance version of the A5, which looks different from every aspect. Blatant is the coupe like body structure, which will capture eye of any auto enthusiast. Focusing on the design language the brand has for the Audi RS5, it is evident that the lines look amazing, with a jaw dropping grille, front bumper with air intakes and foglight housings are more angular and made to look more deep-set by the projecting splitter. Xenon headlights and daytime running lights are standard. The rear showcases, oval exhausts, along with an integrated boot lid spoiler that automatically deploys above 120 km/h or it can be lifted permanently via a button on the dashboard.

The Audi RS5 is mated with a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, pumping 444 hp and 430 N·m of torque, which was previously found in the RS4 versions (currently-discontinued),  its powered by 7-speed "S tronic" dual clutch semi-automatic gearbox.

The RS5 weighs 1,800 kg, with 56.3 percent at the front and 43.7 in the rear which makes the driving jubilant - just brilliant, making an easy pace.

The Audi RS5 directly competes with BMW M3, Porsche Cayman R and few others of the same segment.
