The Coupé’s all-new 2.9 TFSI bi-turbo engine produces 331 kW (450 hp) and delivers 600 Nm of torque. The standard quattro drive distributes the power to all four wheels. The distinctive racing details coupled with high performance of a V6 engine makes the new Audi RS 5 Coupé the most desirable model in the Audi A5 family. Priced at INR 1,10,65,000, the all new Audi RS 5 Coupé is now available at all Audi dealerships across India.
“Audi Sport signifies the transition of Audi’s racetrack technology into production ready performance cars. Born on the track, built for the road - the all new Audi RS 5 Coupé is the gran turismo among the RS models from Audi Sport. The car’s V6 bi-turbo engine has been developed from the ground up and provides significantly more performance coupled with higher efficiency. The all new Audi RS5 Coupé combines the performance of a sportscar and the comfort of a sedan which makes it a desirable machine for our customers and enthusiasts who are smart yet adventurous and want to make an incomparable style statement,” said Mr. Rahil Ansari, Head Audi India.
The new Audi RS 5 Coupé is mated with the 2.9 TFSI bi-turbo engine which produces 331 kW (450 hp) and delivers 600 Nm of torque. The top model in the A5 family sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h. Both turbochargers of the 2.9 TFSI engine unit are centrally positioned inside the V of the engine and each of them supplies a single cylinder bank. The B-cycle combustion process with central direct injection represents a new level of efficiency within the RS family.
“2018 is the Year of Audi Progression and in line with this, we are renewing our performance car portfolio in India and have lined up more surprises in store for our performance car enthusiasts in the coming days.
