Audi RS5 Coupé 2017

2017

The 2017 Audi RS5 Coupé belongs to Audi’s line of high-performance sports cars. It sits just before the second-generation RS5 introduced in 2018, so it remains part of the model’s first generation, launched in 2010. In this form, the RS5 Coupé is tied to a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 producing 450 horsepower, with a claimed 0–100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds. Its identity is defined by the coupé body style and by the usual RS visual cues such as the Singleframe grille, widened bodywork, specific alloy wheels and the four oval exhaust outlets.

History

The Audi RS5 was introduced in 2010 as a high-performance model within Audi’s range. The first generation, produced from 2010 to 2015, was offered as a coupé and used a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 developing 450 horsepower. That layout gave the car a very distinct character, along with a claimed 0–100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds. The 2017 RS5 Coupé belongs to that first-generation family, even though 2017 falls after the production span listed in the dossier for that generation. It carries the familiar RS design elements: the Singleframe grille, widened bodywork, specific wheels, four oval exhaust outlets and RS5 badges placed around the car.

In the RS5 timeline, the second generation arrived in 2018 with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 and the same 450 horsepower, but with updated performance and technology. A third generation was later revealed in 2027, switching to a plug-in hybrid setup with considerably more power.

Production

The 2017 RS5 Coupé is tied to the first generation of the Audi RS5, which the dossier states was produced from 2010 to 2015. No production detail specific to 2017 is provided, and it is not possible to go beyond that timeline without inventing facts. What can be retained is that it belongs to the model’s initial phase, defined by the coupé body style and the 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 with 450 horsepower.

Evolution

In 2017, the RS5 Coupé still follows the formula established in 2010: a sporty coupé with Quattro all-wheel drive, centred on a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 and 450 horsepower. That setup clearly separates it from the second generation launched in 2018, which moved to a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 while keeping the same output figure of 450 horsepower. The later generation also introduced more advanced technologies such as adaptive suspension and the MMI Touch infotainment system. For the 2017 version, the dossier mainly allows it to be positioned as the closing expression of the first generation, with classic RS coupé styling and already very strong performance for its time.

Variants

Among the important RS5 variants, the first-generation coupé holds a key position because it corresponds to the model’s 2010 launch and to the naturally aspirated V8 layout. The second generation also kept a coupé body style from 2018 to 2023, but with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6. The dossier also mentions the RS5 Sportback, introduced in 2019, which adds two extra doors and more interior space. A RS5 Avant is later announced for 2027. For the 2017 RS5 Coupé, the definition therefore remains that of a two-door sports model, the purest RS5 body style described here.
