VIDEO: Do YOU Hear That? It's The Sound Of Audi's Updated RS5 Making It To The States

Ah, the sound of that brutal V8 humming is just...intoxicating.

If you ask any Volkswagen Auto Group lover, they'll tell you the same thing. That 4.2-liter V8 has something that just makes it a little more special than the others.

Thus, the updated RS5 is desirable to plenty of folks, because at the end of the day enthusiasts will love hearing that exhaust pur.

Aside from that, what else is there to say. It's an Audi. It's an RS.

Well. There is something to say -- Bring us the RS6...Avant*.


The 2013 Audi RS 5 Coupé is the star athlete of the A5 family. It offers the power and handling of a powerful sports car packaged in the body of an alluringly elegant coupe.

The Audi RS 5 features a high-revving 4.2-liter V8 with 450 horsepower and a seven-speed S tronic transmission with launch control program. An innovative crown-gear center differential in the quattro drivetrain transmits power to all four wheels, providing exceptional traction and grip for increased performance.


*Yes, I stole that from the YouTube commenter.

Couldn't disagree more. Headlines look just fine as well as the rest of the front end looks sharp.

I am with you @gkearns.

I think it looks sharper and more aggressive. Older S5 looked a little too soft on its front end...

Now the 2013 S4, that front-end doesn't seem to "fit" the body.

im aiming for this next, but im pretty sure ill wind up getting another M3 as Audi residual is absolute trash and their promotions are not even competitive with bmw or mercedes.

i remember trying to get the RS4 last time around and that crap ( $65,000 car) was going for $1200 a month.

Love Audi's, hate their deals/ dealers

BRUTAL, but true.

They're rates just aren't competitive when compared to BMW.
