Don’t miss it! -- God I need this car! This is the all-new #RS5 Avant and Sedan — and this isn’t a mild update to the RS4 formula. This is #AudiSport’s first ever high-performance plug-in hybrid. It produces 639PS and 825Nm, hits 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, can reach 285 km/h with the Audi Sport package, and introduces a world-first electro-mechanical rear axle capable of shifting 2,000Nm side-to-side in just 15 milliseconds. It’s incredible looking too: 9cm wider each side vs the standard car. On the rear too, with more centrally positioned exhausts, and almost nothing shared on the body. It’s way more RS6 than the predecessor! And that’s the same on both saloon and avant! But it also weighs 2,355kg. That’s roughly 500 to 600kg more than the previous RS4 Competition. A current BMW M3 Touring LCI produces 530hp and weighs around 1,865kg, so the weight discussion is unavoidable. The question is : Have Audi engineered enough drivetrain and chassis magic to make us forget the extra mass? In this video I show you both the #AudiRS5 Avant and the RS5 Sedan in detail. We walk around the design changes, go inside to explore Audi Sport’s latest interior and software updates, perform a sound check of the new RS sports exhaust system, and then open up the full technical deep dive on the new hybrid drivetrain. We cover: • Full design walkaround – Avant & Sedan • Audi Sport Package details • Sound check of the RS sports exhaust • Interior deep dive & new RS displays Tech deep dive: • Revised 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 • 130kW permanent-magnet motor integrated into the 8-speed gearbox • 25.9kWh battery (22kWh usable) • EV mode and battery strategy in RS driving modes • New limited-slip centre differential with preload • World-first electro-mechanical rear torque vectoring system • RS Torque Rear drift mode • Suspension, steering and chassis rigidity updates • Predictions for the next RS6 Pricing in Germany starts at €106,200 for the Sedan and €107,850 for the Avant, with deliveries expected Summer 2026. UK pricing is expected to begin around the high-£80k mark and rise into six figures with options. The USA will receive the Sedan only. If this drives as well as the previous RS4 Competition — or better — this could genuinely be the smartest daily performance RS Audi have ever built! Would you take this over an M3 Touring? Is this the future of RS? And what does this mean for the next RS6? Let me know below.
