Overview

The 2015 Audi RS 5 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe. With two trims on offer, the 2015 Audi RS 5 Coupe has a base MSRP of $70,900 competing directly with the BMW M4, the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 Coupe, and the Lexus RC F Coupe. Only a 4.2L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 450 horsepower and 316 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, the Audi RS 5 Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Audi offers the RS 5 Coupe in more than 18 stunning colors, with the Sepang Blue Pearl being our particular favorite.
