The Audi RS5 now comes in both coupe and 4-door sportback form, and fits nicely into the middle of the RS lineup. With the B9.5 mid-cycle refresh, Audi brought a couple limited edition versions, including this Black Optics Launch Edition. With the same 2.9L twin turbo V6 making 444 horsepower, the RS5 coupe will do the 0-60 sprint in 3.7 seconds. Also standard on the Launch Edition cars is Dynamic Ride Control (DRC), which absolutely helps handling, but sacrifices some ride comfort. With Quattro all wheel drive, an updated interior and exterior, laser headlights and strong performance, the newest RS5 is definitely a great daily driver option!

@@philippwalder4328 even when eddie first made his channel is was way better than vehicle virgins. Eddie seems like a natural, his voice, his descriptions all seem like you’re watching a professional car critic. It’s not a 15 minute vlog of someone flexing and then they throw in a few minutes driving some car talking about how their Lamborghini is better.

I believe it. That's really the Audi story IMO, at least every Audi I've ever driven. Audi builds GT cars but seems to be afraid to actually embrace that fact. Instead, they sell these compromised performance cars that don't excel at anything. The S5 is significantly worse. The RS5 looks good on paper but just falls flat when compared against the competition.

Keep the 2018. I have an 18 S5 sportback with an apr plus stage one tune I put on it at 5k miles and it's basically and rs now. Saves you thousands of dollars for about the same performance or better. Or get a newer S5 and do the tune and you save $20k. Make sure you get the apr plus tune so they match the remainder of the factory warranty. Also if you do the resonator deletes like I did it sounds better than the rs

Not a fan of the B9 refresh. The ugly gloss black plastic and the larger screen really looks out of place. I also hate that there is no heated steering with a flat bottom and no ventilated seats with any color beyond black. This isn't a hardcore sports car, so it really should offer much better choices. This is a nice car, but when you cross 90K, there is some stiff competition and this car doesn't do anything better than the competition. This would be a pass from me.
