The new Audi RS5 is the legitimate successor of the second-generation RS4 with high-revving 4.2-liter V8 making 450 hp (30 hp stronger than RS4) . The seven-speed S-tronic and an innovative center differential in the quattro drivetrain transmit power to all four wheels. And for the first time in an all-wheel-drive car, Audi has added a software-based, wheel-selective pseudo-torque-vectoring system. This new differential operates in conjunction with electronic torque vectoring, which affects all four wheels. If one of the inside wheels becomes imbalanced while the vehicle is at its operational limits, then the system slightly decelerates the wheel to obviate wheel spin. This results in terrific traction on the one hand while generating a yaw moment which aids cornering. The new RS5 is sculpted with sport-appeal inside and out, from the ultra supportive race-style front seats to the spoiler and winglet-laden front fascia. Xenon plus headlights boasting a sweeping strip of LED daytime running lights are standard. The flared fenders with the crisp horizontal upper edges are reminiscent of a classic Audi, the pioneer Audi quattro. Estimated price range: $75,000 – $80,000. [Source: Automobile Mag]
