Audi RS5 is equipped with a 6-cylinder engine. The Audi RS5 features a 2.9T version engine with an actual displacement of 2894ml, a V-shaped cylinder arrangement, and a twin-turbocharged intake system. Each cylinder in the Audi RS5's engine has 4 valves, and the valve train is DOHC. The engine in the Audi RS5 reaches its maximum power at 6700 rpm and its maximum torque at 5000 rpm. The dimensions of the Audi RS5 are 4723mm in length, 1866mm in width, and 1372mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2766mm. The front grille of the Audi RS5 adopts a design similar to that of the Audi TT RS, which is typical of the RS series, and the rear is equipped with an automatically adjustable spoiler. In terms of side profile, the RS5 is almost indistinguishable from the S5. The headlights continue the characteristics of the A5 series, with LED daytime running lights that are simple and sharp. Compared to the S5, the RS5's grille has a larger area, allowing for more air intake, and also gives the RS5 a more aggressive front face design than the S5.
The Audi RS5 now features a 6-cylinder engine, specifically a 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine. I've driven it a few times and found the power delivery incredibly linear. With 450 horsepower paired with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the acceleration is swift and responsive. The previous version used a V8, but after Audi's optimizations, the weight was significantly reduced, making the front end lighter and improving cornering stability. Turbo technology ensures ample low-end torque, making daily commutes effortless, with fuel consumption slightly lower than the older model at around 11L on average—quite practical for a performance car. The downside is that the exhaust note isn't as deep as the V8's, but fitting a sport exhaust can bring back some of the excitement. Overall, the 6-cylinder design strikes a balance between performance and efficiency, making it particularly suitable for urban speed enthusiasts.
