Default Wow - here is the all new 2018 Audi RS 5 coupe. Adds some spice to the Audi Sport model line


> Check out this beautiful green 2018 Audi RS 5 coupe. Audi has

added this head turner to the Audi Sport Model line which is sure to
attract some attention.
>
>
>
> HERNDON, VA, March 12, 2018 – The all-new 2018 RS 5 coupe builds on

the heritage and success of the first generation, delivering even more
performance, a refined design and everyday usability. As the newest
model in the Audi Sport lineup, the RS 5 Coupe is on sale now.
>
> Featuring a newly developed 2.9-liter V6 TFSI® biturbo engine and

an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission, the RS 5 coupe melds efficiency
and high levels of performance with a full-bodied RS sound. As with
any vehicle that bears the RS badge, the RS 5 coupe includes
motorsport developments and technologies that embody the Audi Sport
motto “Born on the Track. Built for the Road.” New for 2018, the
high-performance coupe delivers benchmark infotainment such as the
available Audi virtual cockpit and advanced driver assistance systems
including standard Audi pre sense® city and available adaptive cruise
control with Traffic Jam assist.

> POWERTRAIN AND PERFORMANCE
>
> The all-new 2018 RS 5 features a newly developed 2.9-liter V6 TFSI®

biturbo engine, which compared to its naturally-aspirated V8
predecessor, delivers more power, and weighs 68 pounds less. The
2.9-liter V6 biturbo engine generates 444 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque,
126 lb-ft of peak torque more than the previous generation, and it is
available between a broad range of 1,900 and 5,000 rpm. As a result,
the RS 5 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a class-leading 3.7 seconds,
eight tenths of a second faster than the previous generation RS 5, and
achieve a top track speed of 155 mph, or increased to 174 mph with the
optional Dynamic plus package.
>
> Similar to the S5 coupe V6 engine design, each of the two

turbochargers on the 2.9-liter engine of RS 5 are positioned directly
inside the “V” and generate a max buildup of 21.5 PSI. This compact
configuration ensures improved engine responsiveness and performance.
As for intake, the Audi valvelift system (AVS) changes the duration of
the valve opening depending on the throttle and engine speed. To help
increase engine efficiency and power, the V6 engine uses a centrally
mounted fuel injector and a combustion method with shorter compression
and longer expansion phases. This allows for a higher compression
ratio of 10.0:1, further improving the engine’s efficiency and
allowing for greater power and torque delivery.
>
> DRIVETRAIN
>
> The power of the biturbo engine flows through an eight-speed

Tiptronic transmission with self-locking center differential that
focuses on high levels of performance and acceleration. A traction
control system manages distribution for maximum acceleration with
minimal slip.
>
> The standard quattro® all-wheel drive offers high-precision

handling through active torque distribution to both axles. In regular
driving situations, the system delivers 60 percent of the torque to
the rear axle and 40 percent to the front. However, when needed, power
can be redirected to the opposite axle, with up to 70 percent of
torque to the front and up to 85 percent to the rear axle.
>
> The standard quattro® sport rear differential with RS-specific

tuning offers a dynamic driving experience by actively splitting
torque between the wheels of the rear axle, with the ability to direct
nearly all available rear torque to one wheel.
>
> CHASSIS
>
> The RS 5’s newly developed front and rear suspension allows for

both a sporty driving experience and more comfortable ride for long
distances. The redesigned front five-link suspension with lightweight
construction offers greater steering precision and better handling
through optimized steering-rack placement direct at wheel centers.
With the standard RS sport suspension, the RS 5 coupe sits 7 mm lower
than the S5 Coupe. RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control,
which uses steel springs and adjustable dampers that are connected to
one another via diagonal oil lines and a central valve, is also
available. When cornering at speed, the valves regulate the oil flow
in the shock absorber of the deflected outside front wheel almost
immediately. This increases the support and reduces pitch and roll
movements to improve the vehicle’s overall driving dynamics.
>
> Drivers can customize their driving experience through the standard

Audi drive select system which offers four distinct drive modes:
comfort, auto, dynamic and individual. Each mode allows the driver to
adjust the quattro sport differential, dynamic steering, and dynamic
ride control (if equipped), in addition to being able to change gear
shift points, steering and throttle response. Handling is also
improved by RS-specific programming for the Electronic Stabilization
Control (ESC) unit with wheel-selective torque control and an
available sport mode. Also as part of the Audi drive select system,
both with the standard RS exhaust system and with the available RS
Sport exhaust, the driver can control the opening and closing of the
exhaust flaps in order to hear more of the exhaust sound.
>
> Available RS-tuned dynamic steering offers a variable steering

ratio that adjusts based on vehicle speed and the Audi drive select
setting. At higher driving speeds, dynamic steering helps to improve
straight-line stability, and at lower driving speeds, a more direct
steering ratio is used to help increase steering response for easy
maneuvering. Additionally, unique to RS models, when in dynamic mode,
dynamic steering locks the steering ratio at 13.5:1 for a consistent
response.
>
> BRAKES
>
> Two brake systems are available on the new Audi RS 5 coupe, both

offering outstanding stopping performance. RS steel brakes with
cross-drilled discs and six-piston front brake calipers in black or
optionally painted red, both featuring the RS logo are standard on the
RS 5. Also available are carbon ceramic front brakes (as part of the
Dynamic plus package) which offer weight savings and superior stopping
power compared to the traditional steel brakes. The front and rear
calipers on the carbon-ceramic brakes are painted in gray and feature
the RS logo.
>
> EXTERIOR DESIGN
>
> The design of the new RS 5 Coupe draws inspiration from the

distinctive racing details of the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO. The
wave-design shoulder line underscores the athleticism of the coupe and
the flared box fenders provide cues to the standard quattro® all-wheel
drive, in addition to widening the body by 15mm on each side. At the
front, the Singleframe® grille with the signature quattro script is
wider and flatter than the A5 Coupe and larger air intakes in the
lower bumper serve the engine’s need for cooling. Additional sporty
accents on the rear include an RS-specific diffuser, large oval “RS”
exhaust pipes, and a rear-lip spoiler.
>
> Additional exterior design details include:
>
> Standard 19-inch, 10-spoke-star design forged wheels with 265/35

summer performance tires

and exterior side mirrors in the vehicle body color, or available 20”
5-arm-peak design milled and forged wheels in bi-color anthracite
black matte finish with 275/30 summer performance tires
> INTERIOR DESIGN AND INFOTAINMENT
>
> Similar to the S5 Coupe, the RS 5 features the Audi brand’s

hallmark wing-design wrap-around dashboard with driver-oriented
interior with easy-to-operate controls and functions. From its S sport
seats with RS embossing, flat-bottomed, perforated leather RS sport
steering wheel and gear shift, and stainless steel pedals, the RS 5
Coupe is a sports car with a high degree of everyday practicality.
>
