Audi driving experience: a highlight for performance enthusiasts
The factory-fitted Audi driving experience function enables particularly in-depth analysis of driver’s actions – including on world-famous race tracks, if desired. The RS 5 records data on accelerator and brake pedal use, oversteer and understeer, as well as lateral, longitudinal, and overall acceleration. Lap and sector times can be recorded accurately, saved, and compared across multiple runs.
Even unknown or private racetracks are no problem: the RS 5 automatically creates new track profiles based on a recorded lap. Users can also set up individual sectors and compare them later with previous laps – including split times and analysis of individual track segments in terms of lateral acceleration and other parameters. For a complete experience, drivers can document their journey on video: an optional dashcam, discreetly integrated into the rearview mirror, visually captures highlights, and driving achievements.
An interior to match: uncompromisingly RS
The interior of the all-new RS 5 delivers the uncompromising sportiness that only an Audi Sport RS model can guarantee.Up front, sport seats plus with honeycomb quilting provide not only exceptional lateral support but also deliver outstanding comfort on extended drives. Electric adjustments and standard massage functionality ensure driver and passenger satisfaction on every journey.
Customers can choose from five distinct interior designs, each differentiated by unique materials and color schemes. They all share maximum RS differentiation, including full-length color-coordinated seat belts and RS logos on all floor mats matched to each interior color. Complementing each design, the headliner is consistently finished in black across all configurations.
The leather-free base interior features sport seats plus with Cascade cloth on the center seat panels – a sustainable material produced from textile offcuts and recycled polyester. The inner seat bolsters utilize Dinamica, a microfiber material that looks and feels like suede. It contains up to 47 percent recycled polyester sourced from textile offcuts. Dinamica also appears throughout other interiors in the knee pad, Softwrap, instrument panel, door mirrors, door armrests, and center armrest.As an alternative to the leather-free interior, customers can opt for genuine leather interiors in red or gray. These feature sport seats plus with climate control functionality. Contrast stitching flows cohesively throughout the entire cabin.
The instrument panel, armrests, and door trim are executed in soft Dinamica microfiber in black. The flat-bottom RS steering wheel matches the interior and is wrapped in perforated Nappa leather with a color-coordinated 12 o’clock marker in smooth leather. The clasp on the lower spoke is finished in red. Integrated RS satellite controls on the steering wheel enable direct selection of RS drive modes and activation of the boost function.
For the red interior, customers can also choose a variant with dynamic color accents. In this configuration, all interior elements except the seats are finished in Dinamica deep black for an especially sporty appearance – including the steering wheel, knee pads, armrest, Softwrap on the instrument panel, and door armrests.
Contributing to the athletic ambiance are highlight surfaces throughout the interior, finished as standard in dark metallic vanadium. These include the shift paddles, Audi emblem and steering wheel clasp, door handles, door sill inlays, air vents, and – exclusive to RS – the illuminated seat frame trim with RS logo.
To complete the interior, various decorative inlays are available: open-pore carbon micro twill, matte brushed aluminum with linear embossing in anthracite, and – exclusive to the RS-model – aluminum rhombus in black lacquer.
The optional Audi Sport package: design meets performance
Audi Sport offers a new and exclusive option for those seeking to further individualize their RS 5: the optional Audi Sport package delivers maximum equipment in design, sound intensity, performance, and personalization.
With this package, the front air intakes are even larger and more athletically styled, while the rear diffuser takes on a more dynamic design. For exterior colors, Audi Sport recommends Bedford green metallic – this color is exclusively available with the package. An exclusive variant of the 21-inch wheel in black with diamond-cut finish (bicolor) and satin matte coating is a perfect match. Behind them, the optional ceramic brake system gleams in the exclusive bronze color variant. The RS sport exhaust system with matte black tailpipes is also included, delivering an unmistakable RS sound. Additionally, the new RS 5 with the Audi Sport package achieves a top speed of 285 km/h.
The exclusive interior captivates with an absolutely athletic appearance. The leather seats are accented with Dinamica in deep black on the seat and backrest side bolsters, while Dinamica in deep black also dominates the remaining interior surfaces including the steering wheel. Brass-colored accents and contrast stitching in Serpentine green create striking contrasts – the color is offered for the first time. The seat stitching with honeycomb quilting, seat belts, floor mat stitching with RS logo, and steering wheel with specific 6 o’clock insert are exclusively accentuated in this color for the Audi Sport package.
The new Carbon Camouflage package is exclusively available in conjunction with the Audi Sport package. It includes exterior wings on the front fascia, inserts in the side sills and rear fascia, plus exterior mirror housings all in forged carbon. Inside, the decorative inlays are also executed in matte Carbon Camouflage. Optionally, the Audi Sport package can be combined with different interiors and 21-inch wheels.
