Tough to believe this RS5 in stock form made just as much power as the 2024 RS5... I'd much rather listen to and look at this one, but maybe that's just me.

[@SteremyJeele]

The 2024 does make 130 more torque, though. Which is slightly under-reported by Audi for the B9 generation. But no doubt the NA V8 sounded a lot better.

[@NutButDontTella]

B9's sound so whimpy. B8 still looks and sounds gorgeous! The greatest generation of cars died with the B8/E92 and W203's...

[@dcxSpartan117]

Also consider that the chassis used to be about one size smaller 20yrs ago for their lineup. The C5 RS6 had 450hp with the 4.2L twin turbo in a car that is the size of the new S4 today. IMO it's in the top 3 for the Audi engines.

[@carlover9548]

@@SteremyJeele but just slighty, is the new rs5 competition plus the one with a very under-reported power, those are making 430 to the wheels

[@SteremyJeele]

@@carlover9548 Yep, the comps are much faster than reported. Both HP and TQ are under reported. But all EA839-based Audis have about 30-40 more torque than advertised.

[@MikeRFR]

This generation RS5 will go on to be timeless and consistently desirable. Such a tame but all business look with the girth to back it up.

[@dogger37JC]

The E92 M3 as well since they’re the last of the NA V8’s most likely from both companies. RS5 being more rare than the M3 helps a lot too.

[@FirstFamilyCharger]

Would bet they end up being really expensive to maintain as parts shit out though. Like those V10 M5s.

[@MikeRFR]

@@FirstFamilyCharger Unfortunately, you're probably right. Special cars, even if not at first seen as such, end up being a labor of love for those with pockets fat enough to keep them mechanically sound.

[@dogger37JC]

@@FirstFamilyCharger The factory wave brake rotors on the RS5 are expensive. Fortunately there are more aftermarket alternatives now that cost less. Also doing the timing chains requires the engine to be removed. Carbon cleaning from direct injection.

The S4 I drove recently was a 4 cylinder :) It's a swap! I've never driven a stock 2.7L.

[@doggodproductions2259]

Definitely my favorite gen of RS5, and the best V8 Audi ever made. It's still a bit too nose-heavy (as are all Audi's, except the R8), but not NEARLY as understeer-y as all the recent RS Audi's. I walked away from a "Final Edition" TT-RS, almost entirely because of the terrible handling (and also because those newer 5cyl engines completely cut you off at like 6800rpm... lame). I really wish Audi had mounted the V8 in these RS5's a bit further back, it was still just way too far forward and it only got worse as they moved into the turbo era. BMW always manages to keep the M cars more front-mid engine, even with the S65 engine in the E92. I've got a '20 M2 CS, and even with the inline-6 longblock and twin turbos, that engine is still pushed so far towards the firewall that it sits behind the front wheels. These things didn't handle nearly as well as the E9x M3's, but they were faster off the line for sure. They really were the final era of high-revving german V8's. The AWD in these RS5's was also way more of a proper AWD system than the goofy Quattro systems in the latest RS3's and stuff, which may as well just be FWD (the rears really only kick in on launches and if it feels a traction loss, but tuning those Haldex systems to be more rear-biased was a nightmare, they just weren't built for it and always break if you try to do even a full-time 40/60 front/rear split). I honestly kind of wish that Audi had done a RWD-only version of these RS5's, but then they stuck that excellent V8 in the R8 and all was basically forgiven. I still think the 1st gen V8 R8 *might* be more fun than the V10 and V10+. That V8 gets slept on, but it's such a damn good engine (and I generally don't even like V8's, I'm more of an inline-6 and Porsche flat-6 guy, but the E9x M3 and this gen of Audi RS cars will always have a place in my heart for being high-revving N/A beasts that were the last of their kind).

[@IAMCRAIG1986]

Good read, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@doggodproductions2259]

@IAMCRAIG1986 Of course, thanks for taking the time to read! Always nice to correspond with friendly folks on here. I was half expecting someone to flip out because I "dared" to criticize the TTRS, hah! I've always thought Audi should've made the TTRS mid-engine, that could've been quite a fun little beast, like a 5-cylinder Alpine A110. Would also help to rationalize the cost of those things a bit.

[@briangery7963]

Do you want to test my S5 after this RS5 SC V8 ? but, my is not N/A !

[@sku242]

when deciding between the rs5 or just the s5, i ended up going s5 since i already had another v8 car, and tuned it up to about 440-460hp. love the thing, but every now and again i see rs5 videos and get the urge to trade up, just love the sound of these and the e92 m3

[@mebenicolas]

The one hard thing with the s5 is the sound. I was in the exact same boat and I have a DP E40 s5 as my daily and a V8 mustang with a tremec as my weekend car. The s5 is a LOT easier to make power and didn't make sense to go rs5. The blower whine is awesome but the exhaust is horrible. Kinda want to find a rs5 now tho to change it up 😂

[@skaughtmc6591]

I was coming off of a manual 2010 A5, and really debated an S5 so I could still have a manual. The sound of RS5 on the test drive sold it though.

[@JustinBone]

Back in the day I had to choose between a B8 S5 and a 8.5 RS5. The RS had more power and speed, but I liked the older look of the prefacelift and the option for a manual won me over. One of Audis biggest fumbles to me is never offering the RS5 V8 with a manual.

[@randyranderson1621]

@JustinBone I looked at a manual but for daily traffic it seemed jerky like it just wanted to go fast 24/7 so I got the auto as my evo is already manual. But you're right, the RS5 should have always been offered in a 6-speed manual.

[@JustinBone]

@@randyranderson1621I enjoyed mine for the daily traffic. I felt the opposite; before tuning it and putting on a single mass flywheel, I felt it was a little lethargic. It was super rev happy afterwards. Wasn’t the fastest thing but man, those B8 V8’s are a joy to drive.

[@frogogogo]

I just wanna know how much it weighs… as an S5 owner, it was already close to 200lbs heavier bone stock. I understand the RS5 for this gen is more like a muscle car S5 variant with all the optional extras, but if the added weight from the supercharger makes it too much more nose heavy, I’d probably stick to NA FBO only. Something I’ll consider when I inevitably pick one up in the coming years. Very clean build, though, the CH-R’s are the trademark aftermarket wheel for this platform

[@imSchwaggy]

I was gonna get one of these when I bought my e92 m3. Just didn't feel great at all. High revving. Cool sounding. But dull. And didn't feel sporty handling wise at all. Boosted might be cool tho. And it looks sick in black.

Your M3 + a RS6 would make for a great two car garage imo as far as cars from this era and the two brands go. I feel like you made the right decision too (but I've driven neither).

Weight is the achilles heel no doubt... but it's night and day over Audis I've driven from 10 years previous.

One of the best engines ever made

To borrow, not to own. So many drop engine repairs. Absolutely gorgeous car though. Wish I could put a b58 in my old one

You can test drive one of my rs5, got stage 3 and shoot flames 🔥 (much louder)

Beautiful car, beautiful sounding engine

Would be a good compliment to my SC M3
