admin30 Comments on New Audi RS5: Built to Beat the M3?



The new Audi RS5 has gone hybrid… and it’s not messing about.

Rory travels to Morocco to test it out. First, a 100-mile road drive through the Atlas Mountains. Then, a full track test at Circuit de Marrakech to see what it’s really capable of.

Can it actually handle?
Does the new rear-biased quattro system fix the understeer?
Is Dynamic Torque Control a gimmick – or a genuine game changer?
And most importantly… should BMW be worried?

  6. Okay I see they're doing what Honda did a while back when they couldn't sell any more of those ugly wagons they turn the car into something else. Now Audi's doing the same thing you can't fool me I already know that you and Porsche share things like the platform of the Audi e-tron and the Porsche taycan. It looks like those ugly wagons that Porsche can't sell and are going for cheap You're not fooling me.

  7. So you need the weight of the battery and electric motor to add the performance needed to keep up with the M3 because of the weight of the battery and the electric motor?

  9. Sheesh! Weighs more than my full length bed, extended cab Ford F150, pick up truck. Plus my installed Whipple makes sure the Audi won't ever drive around me on a straightaway. Looks great though!

  20. Back in 2007, the entire performance car world (especially in the EU) laughed when Nissan introduced the 1.9 tonnes GT-R. Last year, the entire internet laughed at eh G90 M5 Touring’s 2.5 tonnes weight. And now this RS5 weighs just as much as the M5 and more than a F-150 pickup truck. Every performance EU performance car weighs well over 2 tonnes now.

    Don’t laugh BMW fanboys. The Neue Klasse M3 will be a PHEV and it will be very heavy and likely uglier than the RS5.
