Car home overseas test drive.
I still remember that the original Roger in our group, the previous generation V8 RS 5 is called "the chimpanzee can learn to run casually." This sounds a bit sinister, but it's okay to think about it. If you compare the BMW M and Mercedes-AMG equivalent products horizontally, the Audi RS 5 (parameter | inquiry) is really the easiest to get started. A simple car, this is also true for this generation of RS 5, even I feel that it is more appropriate to add a "more" word.
Car home
Not my taste is unique, whether it is the ordinary Audi A5 or the highest performance RS 5, this generation of models is undoubtedly the four-door Sportback version is more coordinated and does not accept any rebuttal. Compared to BMW's M3/M4, Mercedes-AMG's C 63 four-door version and the coupe version, I think the Audi RS 5 is the three choices, the only one I will not hesitate to choose. The four-door version of the product, unfortunately, it has not been listed in China.
The most amazing design
The "combat power" of a high-performance car is the first to be an external kit. The aerodynamic effect is set aside, and the value and degree of differentiation are very important. It can be said that on this point, the Audi RS is definitely better than BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, and the RS 5's value combat power is absolutely outstanding.
Although the body line is still the standard style of Audi, you can't deny that this RS 5 is still a type that is not too tired, especially the Sportback version, the full hip line makes the whole car look fuller, 20-inch wheel The size of the circle is just right, and the designer's attention to the details is too much.
The tail-marking bilateral two-out flat-ventilation layout is the representative logo of the Audi RS family. Look carefully at the inside for the exhaust valve design on both sides. The black spoiler on the top is slightly understated, and I think it can be designed more fully. Regarding the exhaust sound, this has become a problem that now plagues many European brand performance cars. Under the latest European emission standards, the sound of this RS 5 can also be described as relatively quiet. Even in Dynamic mode, there is still no big movement. A little disappointing.
Expected interior
The same interior layout as the A5, but the overall ambiance is on a grade, thanks to the material adjustments in many details. The use of multiple Alcantara and carbon fiber materials highlights the soul of sports. Of course, if you are willing to take the opportunity, the optional steering wheel and block including Alcantara material, perhaps the soul will be more pure.
The RS sports seat is not special in style, but the internal filling is softer than the regular version. Of course, you don't have to worry about the support and wrapping of its seat - No Problem, no problem at all.
Nothing wrong, you can't ask for a high-performance car with too many bells and whistles in the interior. After all, it's just a high-performance version based on the regular version. So in my opinion, whether it is this RS 5, or the BMW M3/M4, or even the Mercedes-AMG C 63, the interior design and style of these three will not have a bright feeling. However, for the details and care of the details of the materials, RS 5 can definitely have a fight with AMG C 63, stronger than BMW M3/M4.
New power unit
The 2.9T V6 replaces the previous 4.2L V8 naturally aspirated engine, except for the dignity reduction, and other aspects are all-round improvement. This engine structure is derived from Porsche's 4.0T V8 but is still completed by Audi, with an output of 450 hp/5700-6700 rpm and a peak torque of 600 Nm/1900-5000 rpm. The closed waterway design has no cylinder liner in the cylinder, but the high silicon aluminum casting process is adopted inside the cylinder. On this basis, Porsche also uses the ion plating process cylinder liner to reflect the difference.
