New Audi RS5 Sportback vs 2013 Audi RS5 // Clash Of Quattros

[@Porsche1969]

The designer of the 2013 RS5 at Audi was Walter da Silva, and this is his masterpiece! This Audi will still be looking totally outstanding in 50 years! It's a timeless piece of art, and the same goes for its glorious V8 engine!

[@fcscouto]

I believe he was also the designer of the R8

[@blueman18423]

Agreed!

[@DenisTheRealMenace]

Same for the C6 RS6 that thing is timeless!

[@doomerconsumer]

that design (A5/S5/RS5) is one of the most beautiful car designs in the modern car industry

[@fcscouto]

Just found out he also designed the Lamborghini Egoista, which is a 1 of 1 and lives in the Lamborghini museum, def worth a google search

[@Madness1337]

@@J7C6R It's been totally amazing to be honest. The fastest car I've had before this one is an Audi S5 with 354 hp and the difference is night and day.

@acapella ​ @Unknown Desconocido You're not wrong, a $100 Reverse gear sensor went bad that was internal to the transmission. Replacing the DSG's Mechatronic unit (valve body) fixes about 50% of the cars (did not for me). Local Audi dealer quoted a $18,000 (post tax) bill for a new transmission & install. After it broke for the 3rd time, I acquired a used trans w/ low mileage to replace it....$8k later, still my all-time favorite car, & will most likely never sell.

[@chubbsmasterson]

@@StillSoundAmazing I can say, that it's a great choice if you want the quattro system and aren't going to miss sliding a rear wheel drive car like an M3. Mpg will average 15, as you'll never want to close the valves and stay in comfort mode because of the sheer sound (I've set off car alarms on some occasions.) I've only seen one other Rs5 since I've owned mine over a period of six months (which was at a car event) so it's a great for something unique (unlike an M4.) Fuel dumps between gear changes in the exhaust sound meaty, hitting the rev limiter sounds like a machine gun. Consider the Rs4 Estate if you're in Europe, same engine, what I originally was going to buy as they look amazing. Be wary of heavy understeer if you're pushing it too hard into a tight corner! Won't be just as fast as the new turbocharged competitors, but really you're buying this this thing for the legendary V8. Hope this helps!

Just stopping by to say I recently got a 2015 RS5. 70k miles, pristine interior. Absolutely in love with it. Honestly not sure what more I could want in a car. These are the biggest bargains ATM. 90k msrp, basically a third of the price. Barely any for sale in the entire country. Rarely see one around. Hopefully they appreciate a bit (but I don’t care since I am driving it). My first truly enthusiast car!

Nice review! I’ve been thinking about selling my RS4 cabriolet, but this review is making me think about the reasons I got it in the first place. V8, manual, AWD, convertible, can fit the whole family, and it’s 1 out of about 300.

[@bighands69]

If you have a V8 car hold onto it. Go and spend your money and get it rebuilt if you have or a full diagnostics and get a service that goes into detail. The only real option for V8 today is a Mustang and if you live in America there are few other options.

Sell it. ... To me😅😅

This is one of the videos that convinced me to buy my 2013 RS5 exactly 2 years ago. The B8.5 RS5 is such a great car it amazes me to this day and it still gets me excited when I'm about to take it for a drive 😃 If anyone is debating to buy one I would say definitely go for it!

It’s incredible. It took months to find the perfect one for me (low miles, 20” OEM wheels, OEM sport exhaust) and I couldn’t be more thrilled. So much fun to drive. It feels like a special occasion to get to drive it, and everyone wants a ride in it now.

I have a 2019. Engine cover is carbon fiber. It looks pretty cool. Not sure why yours didn’t have one. Also with the turbocharged V6 not only does the car accelerate faster with 100 more torque, the other added benefit is I get 30mpg on the highway, compared to low 20s with the old model. Also love the carbon ceramic brakes. Apple CarPlay is a big plus. I love the UI. Bang and olufson sound system is amazing. Massage seats. RGB interior lighting. Door sill lights. Power lift hatchback is huge. Tons of safety features including basically autonomous driving on the highway with traffic jam assist. 360 rear view display, heads up display, etc. There’s like a million reasons to prefer the new one. It just doesn’t have the NA V8. It’s still an awesome car to have as a daily driver.

The new one is not a driver car ,it has no soul for this price i will buy a gtr instead if you want speed, this is why i love lamborghini N/A AND the sound.5 sec faster i do not care give me the sound instead

Thank you!!! This is one of your best videos yet, I have been waiting for a good video on these cars. As someone who has owned/dailyed the early gen and tested the new one multiple times, this is the perfect opportunity to say that there is no replacement for displacement (sorry I had to). Also those seats in the 2013 are to die for.

For me it sounds very similar yo the E92 M3 GTS.... In that time you have these RS5, the M3 GTS and the AMG C63 Black Series, all of which they've glorious V8 NA engines that revs up to 8500 rpm. Love all those cars. Edited december 2022, Mustang GT350 sounds similar too, maybe even better.

The titanium package is just a visual package. It also comes with the standard sports exhaust(which without the package costs around 1500$), but it doesn't sound like this...this is not a stock exhaust, I drove 2 with the sports exhaust...it isn't this good even in a tunnel.
