2011 Audi RS5

The 2011 Audi RS5 has been debuted at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. Featuring an elegant coupe styling, this 2011 Audi RS5 is surely going to pack more grunt than it's predecessor.

Power came from a high revving naturally aspirated 4.2 litre naturally aspirated engine, (the same as the Audi R8 supercar ) producing 450 bhp @ 8,250 rpm and 430 nm of torque between 4,000 - 6,000 rpm. Mated with a 7-speed S tronic gearbox, the RS5 goes from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds faster than the BMW M3 SMG by 0.1 seconds. And if you floor it, it will continue propels you up to 250km/h when the electronic nanny ends the fun, but Audi can increase that up to 280 km/h upon request. And Audi said that the fuel economy is around 10.8 litres per 100 km. 
 

 The 7 speed Audi S tronic gearbox is actually a dual clutch 7 speed gearbox. It can be operated in fully automatic mode, and a manual mode which is simply operated by the shifting paddles behind the steering wheel. Like all RS models, the RS5 gets the permanent all-wheel drive quattro. There's also a crown-gear differential which regulates power between the front and rear axle. Braking is system is marvellous as the front aliminium disc are fitted with 8-pot calipers each.

 The electronic stabilization program (ESP) integrates a sport mode which tighten the steerings and the throtle remap. Other than sport mode, there's also 3 other different mode- comfort, auto, dynamic. As expected from an Audi the interior is one of the beatifully proportioned in the world. There's also a carbon design package for that racing look. Sales will start at spring in europe and it is priced at 77,000 euros. No news yet about the availabality of RS5 in Malaysia.
