What happened to them?

This video just happened to pop up in my recommendations. Im honestly surprised your channel only 100k subs, you seem to make great professional videos

Wow. I just bought a 2021 Black Optic Launch Edition RS5 Coupe in Nardo Grey about a month ago. I had no idea they were limited production.

Negative comments are people who can’t afford this car. Nice vid bud will definitely get one in 10 months from now.

Wooh... jump right into information. Love it! Keep up the good work!

Awesome work Eddie. Such a gorgeous car.

Really like these interiors. I’d love to buy this and throw on a nice valved exhaust.

I had a 2018 RS5, did everything well but lacked excitement, and it was really uncomfortable in dynamic mode, overall it was good, not great. Eddie pretty much nailed the review.

I believe it. That's really the Audi story IMO, at least every Audi I've ever driven. Audi builds GT cars but seems to be afraid to actually embrace that fact. Instead, they sell these compromised performance cars that don't excel at anything. The S5 is significantly worse. The RS5 looks good on paper but just falls flat when compared against the competition.

keep up the good work Eddie!

love the video eddie!

EddieX, fantastic video review, thanks a lot. I am excited to put my hands on my new 2023 RS5 in 2 weeks...Cheers

literally one of the best looking cars I have seen! wow caught me off guard haha!

The 3.0 in the S model is only single turbo. I have a Daytona Gray Black Optic Launch, still breaking in, and it's already a joy to drive. Not as much as my old C6Z, but a daily driver in addition to a truck, without a doubt

I had a 2013 RS5, not the fastest but the exhaust was amazing

Great review. I really don't like the 'stuck on iPad' screen; it should have the same integrated dash as the RS6/7, guess that will come in the next model refresh

Thanks for sharing this. I am looking to buy one but I am torn between the old RS5 and the new RS5. I live the sound from the old, so it is going to be a tough decision.

Woah the size of that center screen on the dash didn’t hit me until you zoomed out. Like wow looks like a 19”tv

I think the original A5 (RS5) designed by Walter DeSilva was the best looking 5 series ever by Audi, but this new one is also cool.

i wish they wouldn't have gone piano black for trim. the brushed black material i have in my 19 S4 is much better IMO.

Looks nice but I kinda prefer the previous generation's (pre-2018) aesthetics and style inside and out

It’s a little overkill for a daily! But that’s what makes it fun. Mine loads up in stop and go traffic. It wants to gooo!!

Cool car

Nice branding with the X shirt.

How would you compare this to the new S7 with the same engine plus the electric super charger? is there a noticeable difference in turbo lag between the two?

Pre facelift look way better where’s the Quattro letters?

They really need to do another RS4 that would be interesting

Is this a bad value proposition vs an S5 premium plus? It’s about $20k cheaper and the aftermarket tunes add nearly 100hp.

My issue with Audi vs the BMW and Mercedes is how far forward the engine is of the front axle (I’m nit picking). Other than that, I’d take Audi over the other 2. Oh wait, I did!

If that dealership has a tt rs you should review it!

Cool video Eddie! Question?, I have a 2018 Audi S5 and am thinking of moving to RS5. What would you do? sale it in private market or trade it in at dealership? Your help on this is greatly appreciated!

Keep the 2018. I have an 18 S5 sportback with an apr plus stage one tune I put on it at 5k miles and it's basically and rs now. Saves you thousands of dollars for about the same performance or better. Or get a newer S5 and do the tune and you save $20k. Make sure you get the apr plus tune so they match the remainder of the factory warranty. Also if you do the resonator deletes like I did it sounds better than the rs

Review the Audi TT RS!

I just test drove this car. Beautiful car but driving in dynamic mode felt like I was driving a lowered Honda civic. I was very disappointed and ended up passing on this car.

Something is just missing in these newer models these days. Maybe the size of the cars is just a tad too big nowdays? The dynamics of the drive itself needs to be more exciting, less power, more focus on handling and fun. Just my 2 cents.

I really love audi but I find them a bit sterile. There is no manual option for this car, either. If it had a v8 and a manual, I would have bought the sportbak already.

Is a leather steering wheel an option? an Alcantar steering wheel can be a deal-breaker for me, at least.

I use to drive a 2011 v8 rs5, you can't get a better winter/summer car.

Not a fan of the B9 refresh. The ugly gloss black plastic and the larger screen really looks out of place. I also hate that there is no heated steering with a flat bottom and no ventilated seats with any color beyond black. This isn't a hardcore sports car, so it really should offer much better choices. This is a nice car, but when you cross 90K, there is some stiff competition and this car doesn't do anything better than the competition. This would be a pass from me.

The front end dont look aggressive enough.

Turbo lag and some more lag are these B9 S5 and RS5. Also dont like this super lazy 8 speed ZF gearbox

That is def the worst "on ramp" to lsd in the city

So the RS cars aren’t track cars even if they’re audis top sport vehicles? That sucks cause any bmw ///m you can track. I will stick with BMW for that reason.
