High-performance coupe with masterpiece-level styling
If you’re looking for a stylish coupe that looks like it belongs in an artsy coffee table book, the 2014 Audi RS5 might be the car for you. This high-performance luxury coupe brims with artistic expression throughout its well-finished cabin and sculptural exterior. It comes as a coupe as well as a Cabriolet trim, if you just can’t resist the idea of a convertible on a hot summer day. It’s also every bit as powerful as it is gorgeous. This coupe version can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds (or 4.9 seconds in the Cabriolet), grip winding roads like a magnet, and navigate turns with agility.
