Audi RS5 Sport

On a motor show in Geneva Germans have presented top of modelling scale Audi5 - sport RS5.

The car has received huge wheels, the big air intakes, and also a fringing of a radiator enclosure and a spoiler of a front bumper from matte aluminium. Behind – traditional for RS two oval branch pipes of an exhaust system. Audi RS5 has kept atmospheric V8 in volume 4,2 litres! That is in Ingolstadt have even more strongly confused a situation with motors. Judge: at coupe S5 – 354-strong V8, and at cabriolet S5 – 3 litres compressor "six", as well as at S4! And RS6 can brag turbo V10.

But it is not necessary to complain of shortage of capacity. Under cowl Audi RS5 this engine develops 450 "horses" and 430 Nm a twisting moment. As a result the 1725-kilogramme coupe reaches "hundreds" for 4,6 seconds, and the maximum speed as usually, have limited on a mark of 250 km/h. However, for surcharge "collar" will kindly slacken to 280 km/h.

Pair of words about an all wheel drive. As it was nowadays moved, quattro distributes a twisting moment in the relation 40:60. Certainly, in favour of a rear axle to which now helps also interwheel differential with electronic control. In general to go RS5 should very adequately. Especially, on optional wheels with tyres Pirelli P Zero of dimension 275/30 R20 (in the standard – 19-inch disks).

With brakes too an order. In front – 8-piston calipers with 360-millimetric compound disks (the nave is made of aluminium, a rotor – from pig-iron). For solid surcharge – composit carbono ceramics in diameter of 380 mm. And it is possible not only to translate stabilisation system in a sports mode of behaviour, but also completely to disconnect.

In Europe sales of a super-coupe from Audi will begin already till the end of spring of 2010 and under the price (from 77 700 euros) RS5 gets between S5 (from 58 150 euros) and middle motor R8 (from 109 100 euros). To Russia cars will reach only in October. The prices for our market will be known more close by the autumn, but it is possible to assume that will cost RS5 in any way less 3,5 million roubles for a base complete set.
