Get off the line any time: boost function on a button
Full power is available at the push of a button thanks to the boost function. Press it, and the performance hybrid deploys maximum acceleration for ten seconds – perfect for quick overtakes. When the function is activated, the gearbox selects the perfect gear to ensure instant, direct, and dynamic acceleration. A countdown in the driver information display shows how much of the ten seconds of boost remains. Afterwards, the system returns to the previously selected driving mode. Indeed, the function can be triggered while any drive select mode is active. When the boost button is pressed during all-electric driving, the 2.9-liter V6 TFSI engine is instantly ready to offer the car’s full power potential. At the same time, the exhaust valves open for an extra emotional sound experience.
One RS, many facets: the Audi drive select modes
The Audi drive select modes cover an exceptional range of characteristics. Between comfort, balanced, dynamic and the RS-specific modes, they ensure true versatility. All-electric driving is available in comfort and balanced mode to ensure whisper-quiet travel in town and even on longer distances, while driving feels decidedly harmonious and handling on corner exit remains neutral.
At the touch of a button, the RS 5 transforms from relaxing travel companion to rear-biased canyon carver. Its dynamics can be precisely controlled – from neutral to intentional oversteer. In dynamic mode, the RS 5* responds even more directly and immediately to steering and throttle inputs. The car remains neutral off center, while a noticeable rear bias at corner exit ensures particularly dynamic acceleration. Reduced yaw damping at the limit makes the vehicle behavior even more lively – ideal for a sporty, direct driving experience with maximum feedback.
The RS torque rear mode, coming to the RS 5 for the first time, stands for maximum rear bias and controlled drifts on closed courses. In this driving mode, a particularly high proportion of torque is directed to the outside rear wheel. This makes the RS 5 feel extremely agile and playful – while maintaining full control and manageability. One highlight: the Audi driving experience function allows precise recording and evaluation of torque rear driving. Data such as lap times, distance covered, and drift angle can be recorded and analyzed later.
The RS sport mode stands for maximum propulsion without compromise. The neutral handling characteristics are specifically tuned for enormous lateral acceleration. As a result, the vehicle remains particularly agile in corners and precisely controllable with the highest traction on corner exit, even at high speeds and during dynamic driving maneuvers.
In RS individual mode, the RS 5 can be tailored entirely to personal preferences: customers can individually configure steering, suspension, throttle response of engine and electric motor, sound, ESC, and the electro mechanical torque vectoring – for a driving experience that aligns exactly with their own preferences.
In true RS fashion, gear changes in dynamic, RS sport, and RS torque rear are quick, precise, and forceful. The RS sport exhaust system underscores every throttle input with rich, full-bodied sound.
