In case you needed reminding the RS5 is powered by a naturally aspirated high rev 4.2-litre V8 FSI. The RS5 produces peak power of 331kW (450PS) at 8250rpm, with maximum torque of 430Nm available from 4000-6000rpm. Coupled with a specially reinforced 7-speed S tronic transmission the RS5 is able to accelerate to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds. This is the first of Audi�s RS models to be fitted with a double clutch transmission. At this stage, there is still no word on a manual gearbox option.
The RS5 will be available in a total of eight colors: Ibis White, Suzuka Gray, Monza Silver, Misano Red, Sepang Blue, Daytona Gray, Phantom Black and custom blended Panther Black reserved for Audi�s high-performance machines.
Naturally the RS5 features a quattro all-wheel drive system. There�s some new trickery hidden inside the RS5 quattro, too. Including a crown-gear centre differential with torque vectoring and an optional sport differential. You can get more of an insight into those systems through a couple of YouTube clips�available here.
For now, though, feast your eyes on some very tasty images thanks to Audi. When you�re done here check out Top Gear�s coverage of today�s launch.
