NEW Audi RS5 (2026) 640HP V6 Hybrid! Better than the BMW M3?

The new Audi RS5 Avant and Sedan delivers motorsport performance for the road. The high-performance PHEV is the first production RS model to feature a modular electrified powertrain: quattro with Dynamic Torque Control. At its heart are an improved 510 horsepower 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, an electric motor outputting 130 kW, the hybridized eight-speed gearbox, and a completely new rear transaxle with electro mechanical torque vectoring – a world first in a production model. An actuator, overdrive gears, and a differential combine to intelligently transfer torque between the rear wheels. They do so almost fully variably and depending on the driving situation. A control unit recalculates optimal torque distribution between the rear wheel every 5 milliseconds – a frequency of 200 Hz. The torque vectoring system then immediately and precisely implements it. Put simply, electro mechanical torque vectoring is the invisible maestro conducting an orchestra of performance and making sure customers experience driving fun and safety like never before. The new Audi driving experience function is standard equipment. It enables users to view detailed analysis of the routes driven, displayed on the 14.5-inch MMI touch display. At the racetrack, they can also analyze and store sector times. When using the drive select mode RS torque rear, the system also offers statistics such as the drift angle achieved.In Germany, the Audi RS 5 Sedan with 640 HP (470 kW) of system output is available at a starting price of 106.200 euros while the RS 5 Avant starts at 107.850 euros. The new models are built in Neckarsulm, Germany. The order books for European buyers open in the first quarter of 2026, and deliveries are expected to commence Summer 2026. Do you like it?
