New Audi RS 5: Hybrid Power and Tech Specs

Audi Reveals The New RS 5

Audi has unveiled the all-new RS 5, a performance car that combines powerful hybrid technology with years of engineering expertise. The new model is not just about speed and performance. It also highlights the strong collaboration between Audi’s teams in Germany and Hungary.

The new RS 5 will go on sale in Europe from the end of June, and customers can already configure and order the car.

Powerful Hybrid Performance Takes Centre Stage

The biggest highlight of the new Audi RS 5 is its plug-in hybrid powertrain. It is the first RS model from Audi Sport to feature hybrid technology, marking an important step in the brand’s electrification journey.

Power comes from a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine paired with an electric motor. Together, the system produces an impressive 639hp and 825Nm of torque. Thanks to this powerful setup, the RS 5 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

The hybrid system uses a 25.9kWh battery pack that offers an electric-only driving range of more than 80 kilometres. Power is sent to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox and Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system, helping deliver strong performance and excellent grip in different driving conditions.

Clear Development Process Ensures High Quality

Audi followed a well-planned development process while creating the new RS 5. The engine and powertrain were designed and tested by Audi’s development team in Neckarsulm, Germany.

After the pre-production stage, Audi Hungaria took charge of engineering support and manufacturing. According to Audi, this clear division of responsibilities helped improve efficiency, speed up decision-making and maintain high quality standards throughout the project.

Aggressive RS Styling With Premium Features

The new Audi RS 5 combines sporty styling with modern technology and a premium cabin. It features a large honeycomb grille, smoked Matrix LED headlights with signature chequered-flag daytime running lights, wider bodywork, muscular wheel arches and standard 20-inch alloy wheels that give it a strong road presence.

Key Features:

• Smoked Matrix LED headlights

• Standard 20-inch alloy wheels

• Connected OLED tail-lights

• 11.9-inch digital driver display

• 14.5-inch OLED infotainment touchscreen

• 10.9-inch passenger display

• Triple-screen dashboard setup

Inside, the cabin offers a perfect mix of comfort and performance. The advanced digital displays and RS-specific controls help create a more engaging driving experience for enthusiasts.

Experience And Trust Played A Key Role

Audi says the success of the new RS 5 is not only the result of advanced technology but also strong teamwork. Many engineers involved in the project have worked together for several years.

Regular workshops and meetings allowed the teams to share ideas, solve technical challenges and smoothly manage responsibilities throughout the development process. This close cooperation helped the project move forward efficiently despite the teams being based in different countries.

Quattro Tech Enhances Performance

The new RS 5 also comes with advanced technologies designed to improve handling and stability. One of the key highlights is Audi’s latest quattro all-wheel-drive system with Dynamic Torque Control.

The system can distribute power between the rear wheels using electromechanical torque vectoring technology. This helps improve cornering ability, traction and overall driving precision, especially during spirited driving.

Future-Ready Audi RS 5

Audi believes the new RS 5 successfully combines performance, electrification and innovation.

By bringing together a twin-turbo V6 engine, plug-in hybrid technology and advanced all-wheel-drive systems, Audi has created a car that stays true to the RS performance DNA while also moving towards a more electrified future.

With its combination of power, technology and international engineering expertise, the new Audi RS 5 is expected to attract performance car enthusiasts looking for an exciting and modern driving experience.
