V8 FSI engine
At the heart of the Audi RS 5 sits the 4.2 litre V8 FSI engine delivering 450bhp.
The combination of high-revving concept and FSI petrol direct injection technology gives the RS 5 the responsiveness required of a performance car.
At a glance:
- Max. output of 331Kw (450bhp) at 8,250rpm
- Max. torque of 430Nm at 4,000 – 6,000rpm
- Uniform power build-up and spontaneous response over the full rev range
- Impressive engine acoustics
The engine is coupled with an enhanced 7-speed S tronic gearbox. This innovative dual-clutch transmission enables gearshifts to be executed in a few hundredths of a second with virtually no interruption in power flow.
This is the first time that this gearbox has been fitted in conjunction with a high-revving engine.
