Outside, the RS5 sports fenders widened by 0.6 inch, a honeycomb-mesh grille flanked by large lower air intakes, available matrix LED headlights (outside the U.S., at least), and a fixed rear wing. A carbon-fiber roof, which can be clear-coated or painted, is optional. There also are three exterior appearance packages, in gloss black, carbon, and matte aluminum.
Inside, Audi’s virtual cockpit TFT instrument cluster has RS-specific graphics and information (including lateral and longitudinal g-forces, torque, and tire pressure), and there are sport seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel. Nappa leather with diamond stitching is available, as is a design package that brings red highlights and microsuede accents to the otherwise all-black interior.
The coupe should reach North America in the latter half of 2017, where it will do battle with the BMW M4, the Cadillac ATS-V coupe, the Lexus RC F, and theMercedes-AMG C63 coupe. There’s still more to come for the RS5: We also expect it to appear in convertible form, and perhaps as a Sportback, too, as Audi Sport prepares to launch eight new models by the end of 2018.
