Summer arrival for RS5


The 450hp RS version of the Audi A5 coupe which we told you about last week will go on sale in Ireland in the summer.

Price is expected to be around €100,000.


The powertrain is based on the 4.2 V8 which will get that power to the road through a 7-speed S Tronic dual clutch gearbox. It will, of course, have Audi's quattro AWD system, this time with a newly-developed centre differential.

The 0-100km/h sprint is claimed at less than five seconds.
