Even the TTRS has it's own drive select button like the R8

That launch control was the best demonstration I've seen on KZfaq. Being pushed to the seat while staring at the camera, that was a nice touch.

80% on you if you bought this car would never track it. This car is better than the m4 and c63 in every way as a daily driver and it looks better than both. Plus it’s faster when you have some chump pull up next to you at a red light. That is all that matters haha. Plus everyone and I mean everyone has an m4 or c63 amg.

Its basically the ultimate sleeper , its so settled to the untrained eye and no one seems to notice it excitingly , but it probably could smoke an m4 off the line and hang with a c63 on track 👍🏻

Incredible daily road car for those with money that want a blend of performance and luxury with all weather capabilities. Haters on youtube are broke.

I love how Audi cars always understate the 0-60 time

This is why I love my rs3. The double personality is just Amazing... it can be undercover or full attack quattro mode. I just love it. And this rs5 is the same

Love Catchpoles reviews and the cinematography, brilliant. Thank you.

The Audi RS5 is the best looking car ever in my opinion.

Another great informative and intellectual video! Keep up the great work

This looks way more sophisticated than its predecessor, which was a little bit low rent in my opinion. Insane to buy one new, but a very good secondhand buy,

Surely AUDI must have deep insight into their target buyers for this car, else they would have made it angrier, but they did not. Not a big fan of the new Coupe for looks - I simply find the older version more elegant and this a bit more loud for the exterior and more subtle for the experience - That is a slightly awkward combination. The old profile has a longer expression but with this they pushed the mid box section forward, leaving less hood and making it appear more compact and somehow it also look taller, which might not be the case. I am sure this has been done to satisfy more practicality and properly because of a new platform underneath. A very fast GT - but it is far from the mad proposition that has been the case with other RS models - perhaps the target group now have gotten kids? idk. A Beautiful Video never the less.

Your videography!! God bless you guys!

I love this car and let's be honest even if it doesn't perform in the same way a BMW M3/4 does, it still sounds way better.

Finally!! A reviewer who is objective and not stuck in the past. I fully agree with this review.

I had a v8 coupe 2014, great car , bought the new rs5 sportback, much faster and better handling car, the new one is much better esp handling at high speeds, best car I have had

Audi has really stepped up their game lately along with changing their sports division name. So much proven technology in a sophisticated package. The design language is aggressive. I love it!

Really well produced video.

Superb forest setting and cinematography to match the scenery, my praise to you once again.

Looking forward to seeing more RS3 reviews - the 5 cylinder is awesome.

I think the RS3 sounds better than this

It is indubitability a genuine RS high performance auto. Technology allows it to super performer while also being able to be a comfortable and capable cruiser.

Beautifuly filmed and edited! But I do not see the progress, which is synonymous with Audis. The last gen had a characterful engine, but this new?

2.9L V6 TT is just so “typical” and mundane. I think Audi hit the nail on the head with the 5 cylinder TTRS/RS3. The 5 cylinder has so much character and personality and sounds like a mini V10.

I don't think you people realize where this car stands. It's an M4/C63 competitor and the power and price reflect that. All of you twats saying it needs 600hp don't understand how the business works

Actually, you can have drive select on the steering wheel by mapping it to the star button. No dedicated button like in the R8 though.

The drive connect can be configured using the star button on right hand side of the wheel, I can on my new A4 black edition.

Is this with the stock exhaust? Is it worth getting the sports exhaust upgrade?

Fantastic review. I think you hit on all the points that keep this from being a sports car.

you can program the steering wheel button to change drive modes! that’s how i have mine setup

Plastic paddle shifters on a RS?!

Looks beautiful, much better to drive than previous gen.. but some people want NA sound but 1.4l economy and tax prices.. still sounds better than an F1 car

Beautiful cinematography as always. I love the RS4, but it does seem a little underpowered compared to some of its rivals such as Alfa Romeo and Mercedes. I guess that is what is the RS4 performance plus is for

Launch control whilst not looking forwards at 02:30 = total badass

This guy's voice is hypnotic

Not a fan of the engine note but again a top notch review

I think that there is much more potential in this engine. Audi lifted the 2.9 from the Panamera S/4S/E (also found on the new Cayenne) improving the horsepower only by 10 HP. I think they will be a RS5plus or a RS5 Competition with around 500 HP and 700 Nm. I did not understand however, why they didn’t sell the car in such a configuration right from the start. And btw. the ZF 8HP is a brilliant gearbox (also found in the RS6/7 models and the new AWD M5). No one would ever doubt the performance of those cars. And for tuners this gearbox is a brilliant base for improving the engine output because it can easily take up to 1.000 Nm (1.100 in some Bentley Continentals).

They tried to change the typical Audi lines atop the headlights and i think it didn't work. Audi concept's lines have always been low sitting, sharp, nimble... They rounded up the lines in the headlights and the car seem to have lost 90% of it's characteristics. They should have made it a really slim line with the LED projectors inside aligned side by side... it's not Audi enough to me but it's just me. I wont judge people who like it. It's a fine car as hell!

Ha, that little rant about materials, great. I kinda like angry Henry )

For me car without v8 is not a car) rs line should be with v8 engines, not poor v6, btw Merry Christmas)

It would be nice if you guys add the reviewer name at the end of the video tittle .. Alex Goy left, and Henry Catchpole it`s the only reason I still subscribe to the channel!

Stick a tuned up 5 cylinder in it. That would give it the sound it deserves. Plus the 5 would match the name

Rs5,Rs7 or TT which one is the best

I'll keep my 2014 RS5 thank you. Elegant and full of personality. Every outing is a screaming V8 event. I would only trade for something with 500 horsepower. I do love these new seats though.

RS4/RS6/RS7...RS5 just getting Started #RSBadge #Audi #Coupe

Better than the last one

It’s going to be an excellent car of course. Great build quality, good image, fast, handsome. And yet...I really don’t get excited by it!

I've always loved that quilted, diamond-shaped pattern on those seats. Lovely. Now, if they'd only shove that fucking tonnage that's lurking underneath the hood, back behind the front axle.

Fix ur audio volume needed to adjust multiple times basics guys

I think there should be a 5 cylinder turbo in the rs5/rs4

The last special RS was the B7 RS4

I've been waiting for this car. It's been time to flip my 2013 rs5 for a good year now. I keep putting it off, waiting for the new one... Guess I wasted my time. Now I have my rs5 and 2 years left on my lease on a Hellcat. I'll probably wait until that term is up before flipping my Rs5 and finding something new. Already have 4 cars... Don't need another and don't really have a reason to get rid of my already paid off rs5.

you have to turn off traction control to really make it handle well... ask any audi owner that takes their car to the race track... night and day difference...

My 2018 Audi money is on the S series. Aside from the RS3, that is.

With accel of 3.5 sec from 0 to 60 it would not have any more horsepower.

Nice sleeve, camera-dude...lol...

Everyone talking down on the rs5 that it deserved a v8tt that its not right for the power it produces that its just a v6 saying its suppose to be over 500hp well people really dont think they can "TUNE" there car and get easy 80hp+ or go FBO

Audi should have put a tuned up version of the rs3 motor in it. The i5 turbo is glorious. This one is just a bit dull compared to its competitors I'm afriad

Simple vf tune and 526 bhp on stock 158 nm torque increase

Nailed it Henry... Perfectly put!

This guy sounds a bit like Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands 2.

As a old rs5 owner, I really wish Audi could try a little bit harder on this line. The car is fine by itself, but when you put it against c63s and m3/m4, the car has no advantages at all (maybe better looks, which is what attracted me in the first place)

I like green metallic color

I want him to narrate kids bedtime story 😂😆

great

Add on a few aftermarket performance parts and then it's an RS...

Those are two different licence plates

In my humble opinion, I wouldn't want to buy something that needs to be cut some slack for. RS5 is undeniably a good car but it doesn't have that zing like the competition. I honestly think they could do better. In fact, I'm rooting for them.

RS's/AMG's/M's are at the same level, auto journalists want you to think differently though, the truth is that it'll be used in comfort mode 95% of the time and it'll never see a track. It's a matter of what badge do you want really, they are very similar (A5, C-Class coupe, 4-Series).

I quite like the idea of a car that is something between the TT and R8

“What’s this?...the money should be spent on this...not this” 😂😂😂

It's a good looking car, but I don't really see a significant upgrade over the previous generation, which for me it would have to have in order to justify the price.

If this is the title, obviously it answers itself...

02:25 Launch!

I don’t know why - but I love the RS3 / 4 / 6 / 7 / TT .... but the RS5 just seems like it’s not hardcore enough ...

Did he say RS2 at the end?

M3 E92 >>>>>>>>>>> this Audi RS5. Fuck speed, the sound and the experience are everything!

I love mine!

Thankfully AMG are still making fantastic sounding V8s. None of this appliance sounding crap for me thank you. ..but still it amazes me that merc has become the carmaker to go to if you want a good and fast car. It certainly didn't use to be like that.

I have been wanting to like the RS5 for a while, but it jut doesn't generate the pulse quickening excitement that mention of an TTRS, RS3, RS4, RS6, or RS7 has in the past. Improve the plasticky A4 interior and give it 500 HP and the controls it deserves so it stops looking like a 2dr A4 with badging.

The only issue I have with the car is that for the power to price ratio it's waaaay overpriced. You can buy a mustang or camaro or challenger for a fraction of the price

it looks like a TT from the front which is no bad thing

Seems to me like Audi has engineered a machine that executes its requirements with the least fuss possible. Is it an RS? It depends. What is an RS?

I really miss old cars .. All the companies gone for smaller engines and shit turbos and some of them just fk the way the car looks .. just look at last generation audis .. like the R8 and RS7 and RS6 .. these new hard lines audis doesn't look good to me to be honest but I still respect them as a great cars from the legendary company ..

Next RS cars need the corporate V10... Do a mild hybrid setup to pass emissions. This is stupid

Less soul, more profit. Standard procedure these days. Also, does anyone else feel like the contemporary Audi steering wheel looks sourced from a bumper car?

Should have at least 480hp or even 530 bhp to say the RS6 has 600+

My TTRS is a fire breathing demon spawn from hell when I want it to be and reasonably composed when required...all controlled from the steering wheel. But should a larger GT car have the same "mini rally car" on steroids feel? I think I spent my 75K USD wisely.

1 minute ago uploaded = 1st commet come on son

Needed a V8 twin turbo... this is a S5 if u ask me.

Production tip - voice over is way too quiet. Feels like it's been compressed too much.

was putting a v8 under the hood like out of the question? I mean even Bentley uses a version of the audi/vw 4.0 twin turbo. why couldn't this? I like the way it looks. but it doesn't have the riffle shot shifts of the dct. I think I was expecting more from audi. but then again diesel gate took a lot from the vw group. and rightfully just.

From here....the seating looks to high for a sports coupé

Holy this car is very long

So many models, so many trims, so little resale value. They had a shot at bmw and Merc but the servicing and spare parts cost for Audis in general are are unjustifiable.

Think i'd save the extra and buy an s5, and if i was buying RS M AMG i'd buy an M3/4

There’s faster cars but as a package it’s unbeatable

Would buy over the bimmer if I could afford either.... :(

It has few rhings that are done better bby the comp but to anyone conplaining about 450hp...just fucken tune it 👐

I don’t feel anything because of the V6 Twin turbo..
