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

This is the new 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback, and it meets its elder, the 2013 Audi RS5 which costs less and offers V8 thrills. Both are fitted with the excellent 60:40 rear bias quattro system, and both fulfil the role of an Audi icon. The 2013 hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and the new one does it in 3.8 seconds. So can the old one stack up, and is the new one worth the massive premium? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy!
Thanks to H.J.Pfaff Audi Newmarket for use of the new RS5!

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!

@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!

I've never been in a new RS5 but owned the older one and have to agree, there's something about it that pulls on the heart strings. It looks amazing (ours was Misano Red), was comfy for what it was, and I never, ever got sick of hearing that engine. I loved every minute, right up until we got a 5 figure repair bill for the gearbox.

[@WhatIsGoinOnPeople]

Sounds like the previous owner deferred scheduled Maintence on it. I have almost 120k miles on mine and have never had an issue with the transmission. I did install an aftermarket transmission mount around 110k which made the shifts feel a lot smoother (less lurch, especially in between first and second). Not sure if it helps reliability all that much but it was pretty cheap and an easy install.

[@xxbucajucaxx7426]

​@WhatIsGoinOnPeople how often are you changing fluids on the gearbox? Have you ever had to change/adapt clutchpads?

[@WhatIsGoinOnPeople]

@@xxbucajucaxx7426 did transfluid at 115k (not sure when/if it was done before that). Hasn’t needed clutch pads replaced. Just hit 120k about a week or so ago.

[@sheldoncoffelt1891]

Must have not owned it long considering Audi wants almost 6k for front brakes and pads.

[@Skullfire258]

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.

[@omaryounis6751]

The sound of that 2013 RS5 can definitely compete with that of an LFA

[@teej5619]

Yep

[@Billowycloud]

It’s great but nothing is on that level

[@xCkillaxC]

yah.....no

[@ABthatMan_]

I’d say it’s the best sub 100k sound.

[@stefan2566]

The 2013 V8 remembers me so much of my S8 from 1998 ive had. Same displacement just higher reving. Lovely

This channel is really underrated! I enjoyed this video from beginning to finish

Love the sound and rev happy nature of normally aspirated engines! Awesome

[@Black217]

This video can be summed up with “if you told me this was the new one, I'd believe you.” Fantastic video. IDK why this older video popped up in my suggestions but it's def one of my favorites.

[@Siphocaresma]

The action in your close up camera shots is phenomenal mates!!! A really engaging experience on video.

[@cruisecontrol4140]

I don't know how else to compliment you guys and yet feel compelled to do so. The show is perfect, the only complaint I have is I want more shows immediately ( and yes I've already re-watched the old ones.)

[@yangguo3652]

I just got a 2014 rs5 because of this video. Dream come true

[@Andrew-bx9tr]

I’m buying a modified 4.2 RS5 because of you all. I literally canceled my 2019 RS5 test drive, and went instead to test drive a 2015 4.2. And all I can say is you all are right.

[@kivo568]

Damn... i need. That old rs5 😍😍😍 one of the best sounding v8 engines ever

[@young9534]

The 2013 RS5 just looks and sounds so fucking good. You got me opening up a second tab and checking if there are any for sale in my area.

[@ferdinandreischl8260]

Is that the stock exhoust?

[@snkcorp.502]

@@ferdinandreischl8260 they mentioned its the rare titanium exhaust.

[@brieatz]

I have 2013 RS5 with an X pipe. Absolutely love it. The rev matching downshifts never get old. The blips when upshifting are addicting. The Blue one in this video more than likely has the same or an aftermarket exhaust.

[@svgaming2716]

from which company did you get that x pipe from? and how is the general reliability of the car?

[@linhluong3850]

Thank James and Thomas I just got rs5 2 year ago the old one It awesome 😎

[@oscardominguez1680]

Congrats! How is it to own? I also want one.

[@College-lh1xc]

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.

As an owner of a 2010 E63 (the last year they put a few 6.2 V8's in it) i would watch the comparisson for sure, but with the safe and cosy feeling that i would not trade mine for each of them!
