You can zip from zero to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds in the Cabriolet or 4.5 seconds in the Coupe. The punchy acceleration can help you merge seamlessly with fast-moving traffic.
2. Dynamic stereo system
Whether you use your daily commute to catch up on your go-to podcasts or you create a thematic playlist for every long road trip, you’ll be able to hear your tracks and tunes in crystal-clear clarity in the 2015 Audi RS5. A whopping 14 Bang & Olufsen® speakers strategically placed around the cabin (12 on the Cabriolet) create a dynamic audio experience for you and your passengers.

3. Exciting exterior style

4. Refined drive quality
The 2015 Audi RS5 doesn’t sacrifice driving comfort in favor of speed. Between its snappy seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission and standard all-wheel drive, this coupe keeps its grip on the road, even as you zoom around tight curves. Its suspension is equipped with sport-tuned dampers and springs to maximize road handling.
5. Comfortable seats
The standard front seats you’ll find on the 2015 Audi RS5 provide the support and comfort you’ll need for daily driving, keeping you firmly in place even on winding back roads. But if the standard seating doesn’t do it for you, you also have the option to upgrade to the available Comfort Seat package. It includes ventilated leather seats with slimmed-down side bolsters to offer a more relaxed position, along with a neck-level heating system (Cabriolet only).
