As a perfect complement to the new Quattro drive train, Audi can optionally position the sport differential at the rear axle.


The RS 5 efficiency is made possible by the technologies from the Audi modular efficiency platform, which gives the eight-cylinder engine averages 10.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (21.78 miles US mpg).
