This is the new Audi RS5!
Now, when you come to think of any Audi RS, you’re going to think of a powerful, aggressive car, right? Well, while the Audi RS5 may have the aggressive looks, it’s actually rather tame compared to competitors like the BMW M4 or AMG C63 Coupe.
For starters, here’s what you’ll want to know about when it comes to an Audi RS - the engine! Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 2.9-litre V6 which can put out 450hp & 600Nm of torque with the ability to apparently hit 60mph in just 3.9 seconds!
So it’s certainly not low on power, but when you consider it’ll cost you at least £70,000, is it really worth it? Especially when you need to pay extra to get essentials (at least, essentials to us!) like a sports exhaust.
You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Pause it and the front tires aren't touching the road lmao

Definitely 3.7 seconds 0 to 60 capable all day in dry conditions... amazing car.. definitely underrated by audi..
Underpowered*

kzhead.info/sun/iqWRhtZ8ppeQop8/bejne.html
the 155mph speed limit applies to almost all BMWs, Mercs, and Audis. This is a long-standing tradition among the three big German premium brands; a sort of 'gentleman's agreement' to avoid outrageous escalation. you'll find the 155 and 174 limits are fairly consistent across the ranges of those three brands, and the 174 is usually a cost option.
It’s been that way for years only Porsche don’t have the limiter
@@jamesbrowne7601 that’s why Porsche > all
Which is why I’m confused as to why he’s making it seem like an Audi issue only lol
What year is this car
"Not exaclty a lie, but not completly honest either...." sounds like every Tinder profile ever created.
Everybody gangsta until Mat brings out his specialist timing gear
😐
🤦🏾
😂😂😂
And then there's the RS5, which stays gangsta in wet weather.
I own the B9 RS5 2019 and its an incredible car. I love everything about it 😁
kzhead.info/sun/l7R7ab1omF99kq8/bejne.html
Does it have a V8?
@@joshuaeguakhide4182 V6
I had the same, cracking car! Traded for the new RSQ3 Vorsprung, just fancied a change but miss the speed of the RS5... just that bit faster and more responsive
I envy you mate, my dream luxury coupe...
13:31 let’s all appreciate mats acting when it comes to typing 😂
kzhead.info/sun/iqWRhtZ8ppeQop8/bejne.html
10/10 Acting. Potentially the next Bond Actor? 🤔
I love this channel but Matts dislike of Audis is so obvious. This RS5 is an amazing car but it's not even a 'shortlist' 😂
Either way it’s a top contender
I feel like most of Mat's complains can be fixed by the RS5 Sportback
I feel like the sportback is the ugly version from the rs5
@@callhimedu3193 nah the Coupé is freakin ugly. Sportback looks cool
@@Breadfan00 No you're opinion is stupid. They both look nice. What's wrong with the look of the Coupe anyway?
@@Breadfan00 Both the A5 sportback and 4 series gran coupe are ugly nonsense cars IMO
100% agree, I have a RS5 sportback and it’s an excellent all rounder. I think it looks less utilitarian than the RS4 avant when parked side by side.
A spitting image of my older, 08', 6-speed S5. Although I think RS5s look much better in darker tone colors. I saw a dark blue one on the road and it looked amazing. Mine is a lighter blue, Sprint Blue to be specific and it matches the vibe and age of the car. Planning to keep her forever if i can.
What year is this
@@jaketrat3725 my S5 was 2008
Wish I could afford one. Was a VW driver until retirement and had always aspired to move up to an Audi but just never got around to it. Beautiful cars!
Event though I live 3km away from Audis HQ in Ingolstadt, Germany I keep watching Matts videos about Audi because he does it so well. Keep up the good work.
My god , this video came just in the right time, im bored, thank you matt and team 👍🏼 best channel ever
kzhead.info/sun/l7R7ab1omF99kq8/bejne.html
I’ve got one of these now with a stage 1ish remap , eventuri air box and gearbox remap as well now 535bhp and 812nm , it’s a brutal weapon but also a daytime drive.
It must be so much of a joy to ride
Does void warranty doing all that lol
My biggest dream 💪💪💪🔥❤️ Audi Rs5

I love this channel and Matt just because no one else knows how to review cars. Your channel makes me 😊. I just had surgery this Sunday but not I'm here in my room still in the recovery stage trying to watch Carwow videos👍. Keep it up
One feature I always wondered when new cars get it are rear mirrors connected to your saved seat position, so you do not always have to adjust them yourself 🤔
We need a 5 million special drag race and it should have Matt Yannie Joe And the best .... mummy matt !!!!!

So close to 5M ❤️ On this occasion a special drag race between the holy trinity with Mat vs Yainni vs Shmee. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great review. Tempted by the RS5 Sportback..although not many detailed group tests out there vs M3.
Nobody: The 1000 remaining subscribers: The power is in my hands
U mean 10000 subs
@@mananagrawal7372 ohh 10 000 my bad
it's 10.000 actually. it's 4.990.000 subs
I'm surprised Audi didn't put more power into the current 450HP engine inside RS5/RS4 models. Especially since their competition raised the bar significantly. New M4 has around 500 HP while the M4 Competition gives you even more than that. We've seen the Carwow drag race between the M4 competition, RS5 and Merc C63 AMG. BMW was clobbering them left and right. RS5 has to be 520-540 HP machine in 2021. The market demands it.. Oh, I almost forgot about the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV that came out 4 years ago with a beautiful Ferrari tuned 2.9. V6 engine with 510 HP. And that was almost 5 years ago. Now there's a GTA model coming out with 600 HP. That beast will eat the Germans for breakfast. I can't wait to see some comparison tests.
What year is this

You know yr life is good when you wake up to carwow review
I like the RS5 primarily because of the AWD Quattro system. Makes it drivable in the winter.
What year is this
Mat Watson you're the best man...I'm watching from South Africa and never miss your car review, I subscribed 🔥keep up with the magnificent work man...lots of love from Mr Lelo.
This might be the most underrated Audi RS model
I mean for it being a RS model..... The exterior isn't that... Wild?
@@Its-Just-Gizmo just because it doesn't look mega aggressive doesn't mean it can't look good
'Cuz it's not quick enough.. it should be neer the rs6/rs7 performance. It's barely as quick as a merc class A 45s hatch.. so the underrate is comprehensible.
@@LordSidious802 I didn't say it didn't look good though, did I???
Hi Matt, can you please do a quick review on the 2021 RS5 sportback. Unfortunately we don't get the RS4 wagon in Canada.
Matt I would love yin to do the new Ford Galaxy as ive watched other people do this mpv they don't put the information in that you do. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I have the pre face lift RS5 which is excellent and let me tell you it’s not limited to 155 I have had 170 out of it and it still wanted to go more
What year is this
@@jaketrat3725 2018 recommend
Follow my instruction to have fun: 1) Turn ur speakers all the way up. 2) Set the video speed on x0,25 3) Klick here: 7:06
I can't believe I actually did that
he talks like his drunk asf 🤣🤣🤣
I'm really upset with meself more than anything
Matt can you do a fill in depth review on the Audi RS5 Sportback
man i love your videos and get so happy when you upload
I can't wait till the new m3 and m4 come to the uk so we can see some drag races with it!

12:34 holy cow Matt, going to the moon?!
3:42 So if I send 70% to the front and 85% to the back at the same time, I get a 55% power increase. They call me the king of maths.
I was wondering if anybody had already posted this comment. :-)

12:35: I love how this is in the “normal driving” tab!

I got my stinger because I couldn't afford this 😂
I prefer the stinger anyway
i think the stinger looks way better tbh
@@mickey5515 lol check your eyes
@@f4tpie Stinger is a genuine V8 but it is a performance sports car more like the Audi R8.

The RS5 is AWESOME & GORGEOUS! Seriously brilliant!
"New noise regulations" .... gosh i would love to go to Brussels in a Lamborghini Aventador svj or something and just rev it all day .

A beautiful looking car, Audi is on its game in looks inside and out... just wish they could come up with the next big leap in quattro technology and move the engine back behind the front suspension so they can make front-mid engined cars like merc AMG GTR’s etc.
What year is this
0:24 basically tells you the verdict lol

ayy my man, love your vids. keep up the great videos!
looks like a collaboration is on the way !!!

Hey brooo
Merry Christmas from the Texas hill country Matthew ! Cheers
Could you do a drag race between a 2021 RS5 and the top American muscle cars? Like the Mustang GT 500, Camaro ZL1 and the Charger Hellcat? I know by the numbers the RS5 is quicker to 60 and in some cases the 1/4 mile, but I would like to see the rolling race and the braking test. Love your vidoes btw!
pre restyling version is way more aggressive and stunning
Finally ,a new car for mat to review 😂😂😂😂

@@dublaj0450 add sound then u will make people engaged with ur video
7:14 i always use that thing to take something from luggage while i travel and find it very useful, i never used it for ski...
Very cool Video Espacially showing all optional Exterieur specs
imagine walking to your car and seeing matt watson sticking his foot into your exhaust pipe to see if they're fake or not and if they're fake he confronts you
Lmao . Thats funny as hell tbh
"Tiny things please my mind" Matt quotes.
Thanks for the chapter details in the description, carwow.
What do you use as your timing gear? That little box thing you use for 0-60, etc.
I think it’s a shame they’ve got rid of the v8 like many other cars
trust me without government regulation,they are going v10
The old v8 had no torque and was way heavier than this v6 so if they kept it the car wouldent handle well at all just like the old rs5.
@@KK001 I have the old V8 RS5, it actually handles really well. Of course, every year/generation they have to improve something like weight, steering and etc. You can't be building something new that is the same or worse than the previous generation... All in all, that old heavy V8 handles really well. Also, you loose that screaming and high revving V8. Which is intoxicating every time you drive :P
Acciel Villiers likewise, and the shape of the old v8 is far better. I have a 2015 suzuka grey. Wouldnt change it for this one! Speed isnt everything as it is largely unusable ona public road. We are lucky enough to have an R8. Whilst an event to take out, you cant really use it without being in licence loosing territory
@@KK001 The V8 RS5 is not a lightweight sports car. So no matter what weight savings you are trying to gain with the V6 are nonsensical. The RS5 is not a Lotus with a V6 engine it is a super coupe which makes it firmly a GT car. The V8 in the RS5 sounded and felt wonderful to drive and I will never get a V6 RS5.
Matt: Reviews Rs5 Everyone: WitnessesS GREATNESS

Got one of these

that gap of in the bonnet is there because the original aufi quattro has it as well. it started with the latest a1 i think.
@carwow why have you never done an review of the abt versions of the rs series?
The way he pronounces “Vorsprung” 😭😭😂
How else would you say it?

Are you kidding me? Consider it!?!? The RS5 blows out the garbage M4 or overpriced af C63 of the water any day of the week! Heavy disappointed Matt!
Dude, he‘s the journalist and can better tell what those cars are like. I‘d prefer both cars over an RS5. The AMG is an V8 so no chance for M4 and That Audi. C63 is the best out of those by far
You must not be a fan of fun RWD sport saloons. Understeer and muted exhaust sounds are more your thing.
@@thesequelssuck_8504 Nah the C63 sucks hard and is also overpriced as hell. He tells you what he is PAID to tell and I wouldn't be surprised if he's bought by BMW as he often praises it while their cars are often garbage.
@Elessar guess the same for most journalists then. As bmw has been the king of track over its competitor. Merc has come on for fun and excitement largely due to its recent f1 success. Audi has always been clinical which is not to everyone's taste but as an an all weather car it's a solid choice. He made plenty of good points about the car. I thought an honest review, I have driven the car its good but not outstanding.
Lol ohkayyy
Still waiting for a drag race with a formula one driver
