The charm of the Audi RS, the biggest point, in my opinion, today is that it is difficult to get started. This is the most obvious difference between BMW M and Mercedes-AMG. The same 450 hp, for the Audi RS 5 (parameters | inquiry), will never give you the feeling of excess power, even when you put the throttle to the end, your mouth seems to be broken: Not enough, not enough! Come again. This is definitely something that neither of us would think about. If you are driving a BMW M4 ZCP, the same 450 horsepower has already made the tail uneasy, and the strength under your feet will be slack.
It is undeniable that the Quattro four-wheel-drive system is one of the biggest helpers. Before the replacement of the BMW M3, it is the only model in this class of high-performance cars that uses a four-wheel-drive system. Don't say "the four drivers are weak" and enjoy the benefits of the four-wheel-drive system. Sometimes it is true. For driving a high-performance car, the difficulty is reduced by three levels. Enjoy the power of power without hesitation, it is definitely the fun of Audi.
Driving at the infinite speed of Germany, you will find that here is the king's existence, no need to switch the Dynamic mode, just in the Comfort mode, this powerful 2.9T engine can push you to Speed peaks, not to mention the most aggressive Dynamic mode. The official electronic speed limit is 280km / h, I just tell you, in the end, as long as you are optimistic about the road in front of you, to ensure safety, you can silently wait for it to directly limit the speed limit, the speed of the speedometer Like smearing oil, without any hesitation, it is so easy to write and enjoy.
The direct test scores may highlight the true strength of this Audi RS 5 (parameter | inquiry). The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 3.9 seconds, and our final measured score is 3.61 seconds. This is like Audi's consistent practice. With the help of Quattro four-wheel-drive mode, the RS 5's 0-100km/h acceleration capability. Absolutely the most prominent.
But after all, consumers who buy this level of high-performance sports cars don't just care about the power, it's something like the Audi S3 and Golf R models. Consumers prefer their cars to have the ability to play. If not, these people are likely to immediately turn around and choose the BMW M3/M4, or Mercedes-AMG C 63.
Although it is a pity, I have to admit that the driving pleasure that the Audi RS 5 can provide is still quite limited, especially compared with BMW M and Mercedes-AMG. Audi seems to be an all-round expert in this respect. It can be purely satisfying for home use, but also moderately naughty. Even it can be turned into a one-on-one suit molecule, but lacks a single personality, saying that it is an all-rounder and not Over.
The suspension and chassis adjustment in comfort mode is only slightly harder than the regular Audi A5, but the ride is still quite comfortable, far from the BMW M3/M4 and Mercedes-AMG C 63. radical. The road feel is not so clear, coupled with the steering wheel feel of the electronic sense, it is not difficult to imagine that you can still be a person of the Buddhist system.
In contrast, the Dynamic mode is a bit radical, and the feedback on the road feel of the suspension and chassis is a bit too radical. Even when the speed is faster, you will be able to feel the jump of the body very significantly. Of course, this jump is still on the premise that the tires are grasping the ground, but the sense of jumping is definitely due to the speed and the leveling problem of the road. It takes a long time, and even the driver will have some physiological reactions.
Driving aggressively, perhaps more suitable for this RS 5, except for the slightly bulky front that will cause the body to have a slight pusher, the rest of the performance is remarkable, whether it is the response speed of the front of the tail Trace. But I still want to remind you to pay attention, don't forget that this is an Audi. The lower difficulty of starting does not mean that it is very simple to control it completely. Once you break through the physical limit and even get out of control, the consequences are more than the rear-drive performance model. More tragic, don't believe me.
If you describe C 63 with violence and describe M3/M4 with a savvy, then RS 5 must be barbaric because it has a powerful power output that is not afraid of any opponent, but at the same time it is brutal and there is a recklessness behind it. Its shortcomings, because it lacks some fun, and can easily mislead you to push the limits, so this has become the top of the RS 5 Achilles.
Summary of the full text:
In short, as I said at the beginning, the RS 5 is still in this class, the relatively difficult to start the car, its kind of enthusiasm is easy to be mastered by the driver. Of course, it is not easy to control the limits of it. Currently, the RS 5 Coupe version is only available in China, but I personally think that the Sportback version may be more popular, just like the Audi A5, introduce it early.
