Audi has officially unveiled the all-new RS 5, available in both a three-box coupe and an Avant (wagon) body style, both built on the PPC combustion-engine platform. The vehicle is powered by a plug-in hybrid system combining a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 470 kW. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and offers an all-electric range of approximately 80 km. Exterior styling follows Audi’s latest design language, featuring a dual-diamond front grille, distinctive LED daytime running lights, and either carbon fiber accents (on the coupe) or aerodynamic body kits (on the Avant) to enhance visual impact. Inside, the cabin features a three-screen layout and integrated RS sport seats, with gold-red contrast stitching differentiating the front and rear seating areas. Under the hood, the quattro all-wheel-drive system is paired with an electromechanical rear-axle torque vectoring setup, supporting an RS Torque Rear mode for rear-biased dynamics. A red button on the steering wheel activates maximum power delivery for up to 10 seconds.
