[@P_M21]

This is BS. The soft limiter is always on as long as a gear isn’t engaged. You can be doing 300kmh and put it in neutral to try and rev it and it’ll still have the soft limiter on. So I have no idea how you got your info and why you have so many likes.

[@steviewonderzaful]

LOUD is a problem. Noise pollution is a problem that requires treatment. Therefore you are being limited in some way. There are rev limiters to prevent the engine from overrevving and blowing up. There are speed limiters to prevent the axles from taking damage over not being able to handle the power. There are also safety concerns over some people driving too fast on the interstate/autobahn.

Let's just take a moment to apricate how stable the RS3 was at 200+ km/h with semislicks in this pouring rain

[@Bruv920]

Quattro.

[@Speedy1st]

Semis arent that bad in rain in general. It really depends on the pattern of a specific tire. Some have the minimal tread just to be streetlegal, while others are more daily drivable. Dumb me going 200 in heavy rain on semis in 285 and 305 dimensions on a sports car, luckily was all fine. And they weren't new either, so even less tread. Has nothing to do with quattro of course.

Both models are about to move to a new generation within the next ~12 months -- more power is coming (although they may consolidate the S4/S5 into a single ICE car).

Each of these cars need at least an extra 100-150hp for their next generation. They will all be hybrids and will be even heavier pigs than they are. RS4/5 is going to need 550-600hp+ due to all the weight that the stupid hybrids system they will add.

The Torsen diff is excellent compared to a Haldex diff, which is not suitable for poor weather conditions. My 2019 Q5 came with a Haldex diff, while the 2015 Q5 had a Torsen diff. The Haldex diff always resulted in sliding and a loose steering feel when driving on ice and snow. Consequently, I traded in my 2019 Q5 for a GLE, which has a full-time 4Matic drive without any problematic torque split issues. I've had enough with Audi, and I don't plan to buy one again.
