Efficiency is the standard in every Audi, Audi RS5 is no exception. Ultra-powerful eight-cylinder average of 10.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (21.78 U.S. mpg miles) – much smaller than its main competitors. This caused some impressive modular efficiency platform Audi technology. Engine and the entire powertrain that is optimized to minimize friction, the oil pump operates on demand, and energy recovery systems save energy during the sliding and braking.

Standard seven-speed S tronic in Audi RS5 – with high returns and high-speed oriented – improve efficiency. Consists of two clutches and two transmission companies. Both transmission subsidiary permanently active, but only one is supported at one time by the engine. Teeth are replaced in turn by two clutches – fast, smooth, and almost imperceptibly.

2011 Audi RS5 - test drive performance

Seven-speed S tronic, which has been specially reinforced to accommodate the V8 high-level system can operate in fully automatic mode – or the driver can pass through the innovative selector lever or shift on the steering wheel bearings. Using the Audi drive select the default, the driver can switch to automatic mode between three different options: automatic, comfort, and dynamic. In the launch control program, seven-speed S tronic provides smooth acceleration from stop – at full strength and with a little tire slippage.

Unlimited power lurking in the classic and elegant pieces: Audi RS5 will debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2010. Revving high 4.2-liter V8 with 331 kW (450 hp) released a powerful performance as outstanding fuel economy achieved. Seven-speed S tronic and a center differential in innovative Quattro Training transmit power to all four wheels.

Developed by quattro GmbH, RS model is the backbone of the Audi dynamic range. Audi RS5 is the last torchbearer in a tradition since more than 15 years before RS2: handling excel in class size average.

A close relative V10 used in the Audi R8 high-performance sports, high revving V8 engine gives the output from a displacement of 4163 cm3. Like almost all petrol engines Audi, it also operates with direct fuel, known by the acronym ISP. The same technology has powered the Audi R8 racing cars with four victories in the endurance race at Le Mans Classic. Railway system generally produces up to 120 bar pressure.

Intensive fine tuning of the input multiple branch and exhaust system allows the engine to breathe undersquare relief, four camshafts and the adjusted components are mixed in the intake manifold to facilitate the formation of the mixture. 4.2 FSI provides impressive torque and only at home, even at high speeds – almost like a racing engine. Engine provides 331 kW (450 hp) at 8250 rpm and – between 4000 and 6000 rpm – send a maximum of 430 Nm (317.15 pounds / ft) of torque.

New technology Quattro: differential crown

Like all RS models, the Audi RS5 also applies power to the road with permanent quattro all-wheel drive. About the center differential, which regulate the division of power between the front and rear, Audi – the first of four brand-wheel drive – introducing the next generation: a differential speed crown.

Self-locking center differential crown compact and lightweight – and achieve high efficiency.

Thank you to pack the dishes, the gap can vary the torque distribution between the front axle and rear. If necessary, up to 70 percent can be developed or as much as 85 percent by the end of the tail. The ratio of the standard 40:60 rear-biased configuration provides sports management.

This new differential operates in conjunction with electronic guidance torque, which affects all four wheels. If one wheel on the become unbalanced as a vehicle for the operational boundary, steering a little to avoid slowing the spinning wheel. This means tremendous drag on the one hand, while producing a yaw moment that makes cornering.

As the perfect complement for new traction drive quattro, Audi may be able to exercise the rear axle differential. Actively distributes torque between the rear wheels to continue to optimize stability and compliance with the vehicle handling limit. Managing Electronic Differential RS5 Audi Sport has been designed to be dynamic without compromise.

As for springs, shocks, elastokinematics, and anti-roll bars, chassis Audi RS5 has a sporty configuration and make the body 20 millimeters (0.79 inches) lower than the Audi A5. 19-inch alloy wheels equipped with 265/35 tires are standard. They were executed in an exclusive 5-arm design of the structure. Audi RS5 equipped with an optional 20-inch wheels and 275/30 tires. Winter wheels with the same dimensions are available in 19 inch wheels are suitable for snow chains.

Powerful brake system employs discs ventilated discs measuring 365 millimeters (14.37 inches) in diameter at the front axle. To maximize heat dissipation, friction steel ring hollow and connected to the pin for brake discs made of aluminum. High gloss black brake calipers-labeled RS is also made of aluminum, the front calipers are fitted with eight pistons each. Audi may be in accordance with the front axle with carbon-fiber ceramic brake discs 380 millimeters (14.96 inches) in diameter. They are very lightweight, strong and durable. Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) including Sport mode and can be turned off completely.

Even more dynamic: Audi Drive Select

Servotronic speed dependent power steering in the Audi RS5 very tense. Standard Audi drive select (vehicle dynamics control system) allows the driver to switch between three modes – comfort, auto and dynamic – to set the direction, the seven-speed S tronic, sport differential and the engine exhaust system. And if the car is equipped with MMI navigation system, the fourth mode allows the driver to customize their own profiles.

Regarding the engine, the Audi drive select control system of the two throttle valves and flaps her, at the opening, the rich become more resonance. With the sport differential, dynamic leadership is another component of the optional Audi drive select. Dynamically adjust the steering gear ratio of speed of vehicles – directly to the low-speed maneuvers and indirectly to travel at high speed. In extreme cornering vehicle, automatically ensure a smooth handling with little corrective action.
