  • Gorgeous looking car but I don't think it's worth the price. Enthusiasts and wealthy folks may think otherwise.

  • damn, on every audi rs5 video there are so many "m3s are so much better" comments. is that all those fucking fanboys do all day, just go to every rs5 video and be assholes. a swear there are more m3 comments on audi videos than bmw videos. people are so fucking annoying. if you dont like the car, dont watch the video.

  • Germany really knows how to build cars...

  • LOL This guy is trying hard to bring out the negativity of this car but he can't ;P

  • Haha sorry Audi, but the RS5 is just to boring and the M3 is still better lol

  • @radar3699 Hey lets go drive your M3 in the rain or snow> Oh wait you cant keep up can you!!

  • @Boondocksaint1PSN Look at Top Gear's review of the RS5 vs the M3. The M3 was much faster on the track even though it was raining extremely heavily and the track was soaked. It's all about ESP. Just because it has 4wd doesn't mean that it's traction control is any better than that of an M3's system.

  • This Audi is a bit boring when comparing to BMW M... but i have to admit it is a great car - still - this audi is more highway fun car then in a bends, there BMW still dominates..

  • I drive an 2006 Audi RS4 B7 . . the best RS4 made . . so when I test drove an RS5 I had all the negative tests and press reviews from the British press reelling in my ears, . . and yes this car is as good and shall I say better than my RS4 . . gearbox especially, so why did Top Gear do such a shoddy report on it around the test track, claiming massive understeer?? Four words = They cannot fucking drive . . .

  • @wideangle852 I may need to disagree with you here, the b5 rs4 is the best rs4 made, the twin turbo 2.7l v6 could be built into such a beast. Also, in my opinion it is on of the nicest looking cars still on the roads today.

  • I found pretty annoying the volume of the reviewer voice.... sometimes you cant hear a thing but when you add some volume he starts to talk like a normal human (not wishpering)

  • pause at 4:00 why is a headlight out?

  • @Pr0dijel The new Audi's do that, when they take corners. I guess to not blind on-coming traffic. I saw an A7 do the same with their DRL's, when they put their turn signal on.

  • @Pr0dijel It's because of the rate at which LEDs blink, and the video that runs at roughly 30fps, they don't match up. In some other videos you'll notice that tail light LEDs or position LEDs in the front seem to blink or are completely off...

  • As for competing with a mustang...... Fuck off you common yank. The mustang is a $20000 engine in a $25000 car. Built like a chocolate bar wrapper which you'll know a lot about. Stick to watching vids and eating crispy cremes rather than talking about shit you just don't get!

  • I work for Audi. The car is fantastic how it is. V10 is too heavy and physically too big for the car. Gearbox shifts 7 times faster than we can so improves performance. Also has launch control. USA getting the car soon so don't worry. Retail price about £65000 for the misano red car tested with HDD Nav and sports exhaust.

  • I must confess that this is my dream car ^-^

  • retail price.??? you forgot the main thing of the car man!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @jzertuche100 you wouldn't be asking such a thing if you could afford it.

  • mmh bin selber aus Frankfurt

  • Very annoing car. Atracts atention. You cant focus on road, because you must look at his daylights. Egoistic design. Rear ligts blinds a driver behind. Small blinkers. Audis are always alone on the road. Why? Aditional equipment is not worth the money.

  • @Bakteyo someone drives a humble 2003 ford taurus.

  • When will this thing come to the states? I want to be able to buy one of these some day.

  • Is it meant to compete with Ford Mustang...cause it looks like it

  • najo miau wer will camen

  • So the steering has little feel as do the brakes and you can't see why anyone would want to change gear manually? That's meant to be a review of a sporty car? How much did Audi pay you for this test then? Or do you just like the free race track time and booze?

  • It's coming to the US like in the summer!!

  • @Chil1i next summer?! how do you know? I was hoping by March.

  • @Chil1i  Are you sure?

  • Too bad this car isn't in the USA. Fuck...

  • can you get a 6 speed real gearbox?

  • question before i buy this car does it have a feature or function letting you know when to change gears the mode to save gas

  • @eurogq You are asking for a save gas mode and telling people you are buying this car? haha

    Of course you're buying it.

  • @eurogq you're buy a V8 to save gas?

  • If this had the S6/RS6 V10.. it would be perfect.

  • @Summitshow

    No it wouldnt it would be too heavy upfront

  • @TheVtieg6 Dont think so really... the Audi V8 aint that much lighter than the v10, and so if the weight problem of 30-40 kg would arouse, i think Audi could manage of putting the first 2 cylinders over the front axle, and making it perfect... dont know why people allways say it will be too heavy in the front with a different engine :X. same thing people rabling about a S13 will be heavier with an inline 6 instead of the booring 4 it has allready. SMALL WEIGHT INCREASE DOSENT RUIN IT.

  • @Summitshow

    But it does affect it and 30-40 is not small especially since audis are generally nose heavy. Even if they did fit in it will be too close to the rs6 with performance cus its lighter

  • @Summitshow Gas mileage does and yes unfortunately it does matter

  • delirante!

  • just drove this car xD aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

  • Gorgeous, fast, luxury ... Man, this or a 2013 GTR? Tough choice, love my s4

  • 4 seats, 444bhp, and autocar has 444 videos. what a lovely number.

  • I can't believe how good looking this car is.

  • pussy car, hahaha. buy bmw if you can drive... this carso costs far too much, then.

  • whats with this car and the number 4? lol

    444BHP

    4.2 litre engine

    174Mp/h

    4 wheel drive

    $54,000

    Should be an RS4

  • @Showtek100 OMG AND 4 WHEELS

  • @fucka95 OMFG YOUR RIGHT!!! :D

  • @Showtek100 AND AUTO CAR HAS 444 VIDS

  • @Showtek100 THERE'S 4 SEATS!!

  • Sep 9th, 2011, I just bought Audi RS5.

    I just love this RS5, more than Mercedes Benz, SLK 55 AMG which I had before.

    Anyway, it's power 450ps, 4.2 litter, 32valve DOHC engine,and everything of this car is

    excellent !!

  • please change the reviewer i almost fall asleep listening to this guy talk about one of my favourite cars

  • scary looking? no, just intimidating

  • This sure beats the hell out of the hideous R8. Lol.

  • Red is for ferraris

  • You are an alright car tester but I prefer you as a comedian Mr. Gervais!

  • My VTec..sound alot better than this

  • @Anakin314 sound is subjective.i like the ferrari 599 GTO's sound better

  • @Anakin314 no... no it doesnt

  • @Anakin314 shut up about your vtec no one cares

  • Is the car powerful enough to beat an Aston Martin?

  • Prefer this to the M3. Any weather, any road, always enjoyable. And the sound of that V8... O.M.G

  • @ReiTirona Any weather...really...rain and snow to?? Ever tried the Quattro?

  • 2:24 only left tailight works? right?...no?

  • @SSlovaku No, they both work. It's just how it shows up on camera due to it being a 100% LED tail light. LEDs flash a phenomenally high rate that the human eye cannot pick up, but most cameras do. On video they appear to be flashing or in some cases look to not be illuminated at all. If you see any new generation Porsche tail light on video they appear as if they're flashing, but in reality they're not...it's just how they show up on camera

  • Comment removed

  • @SSlovaku nope - that's the camera

  • can someone mention 1 not great part about this car,

    well,, I can.. I don't have it. and I'll never have it..

  • Audi needs to come out with an RS4

  • @MrBAZAN88 they have one...they just don't sell it in the USA =(

  • @krulkntrdction actually they don't seel it at all since 2008. They are working on the new rs4 as we speak

  • @MrBAZAN88 There already is an RS4 dilrod

  • Audi rs8 is a fine car but unreasonably expensive! 

  • great car, boring review

  • this car is better than SEX !

  • @GKkapurani nahh it's second best, Sex is better still lol xD but i'll give the Lamborghini an exception lol xD

  • @GKkapurani it better be i can fuck a lot of prostitutes for the price of this car

  • This car is complete package, you got speed, looks and luxury all in one...simply amazing!!!!

  • But will it blend??

  • @Brianiare horsepower doesn't necessarily make a car beat any other car.

    

  • ahahaha BMW M# is miles better and way faster on the track.

  • Love how Jeremy Clarkson complained about it understeering. Show much a better driver Steve is.

  • @MrBosonboy it does have alot of understeer.As proven because the rs5 is much slower round a track then the M3.

  • @radar3699 i have owned both an e92 m3 and now an rs5... the understeer and torque steer are the only downsides.

  • @LolsyUK

    How did you get so much money, bro? :W

  • @TeamDiony hard work :)

  • Well you all can talk a lot, and this RS 5 is very good car, but Nissan GT-R is just so much better sport car in the same price.

    Try to beat NIssan GT-R then return, Audi. Maybe RS7 with over 600 hp, will be something challenging we will see.

  • no sunroof?

  • @swirvfly audi can never get to things right at the same time.in 08 and 09 audi puts amazing power into these coupes but lacks luxrious things like a sunroof n on the only available package with a sunroof, it couldnt even slide which is complete b.s. 2010-2011 come around and audi puts more luxury into it( like 3 zone climate control but down grades the engines and makes it only available with a turbo charger 4 cyl with an output of 211hp.still no sliding sunroof.id still buy it tho=]

  • put the engine and transmission in an a4 avant and set to awd to a 30-70 front rear bias to let the rear loose like an r8 v10

  • put the engine and transmission in a4 avant and make the awd let the back lose like the r8 v10

  • only 54K?? Sounds like a good price

  • This car is insane pussy magnet lol

  • HANDS DOWN! sexiest audi ( until A1 comes out and then DRUM ROLL! RS1 !!! fuck yea audi PWNS ALL

  • ultimate camaro ss compitor

  • awesome car. wonder how much?

  • wife of the presenter is on a strike, or why has he got creased shirt?

  • so i CAN see why someone wants to chaneg gears manually -.-

  • the tail light works, but its LED, sometimes the cam cannot pick up the light, thats why sometimes you see no light or the light flicker

  • que videos mas mal subidos,tardan demasiado en cargar

  • The lights on the back of this cars DON'T work !!!!!

  • i love this car!

  • i don't understand or never will understand why they put a limiter on a car like this and why you would have to pay extra to take it off!!!!

  • @pfflyer15 I wonder too but I'm guessing they put a limiter on it because it would also require tires and brakes that can handle the extra speed and braking requirements. Whatever comes equipped on a factory RS5 probably can handle the regular 250kph limit.

  • @7477238 yeah probably, but they should get ahold of their brothers from Bentley and put some big carbon parts on it (ceramic discs)

  • Boring! German Sh!te

  • Is it just me or is there a problem with the right taillight?

  • @Moodyz3 Nope its just you and the other guy ... thats how LED's React to video camera's

  • put it in sport then test it!

  • that's a BEAST

  • What's up with the taillights? Sometimes only one of them light up?

  • YAWN

  • It has the same torque as the RS4!! 

  • I want this SO FUC*ING BAD!! =(

  • Why are the tail lights lighting up inconsistently?

  • @playbak I was wondering the same thing...

  • @playbak i was wondering the exact same thing

  • Awesome car!!! Would like to own it one day....

  • listen to this joker.... every 10 seconds in the review, he says.... oooh there is not enough "feeeel" for this or that... haa haaa... makes me laugh. who does the punk think he is?

    this is by far the most precise steering column, best gear box, has the rear sport differential which keeps the car flat on curves.... absolutely no body roll,

    the punk doesnt know how to give a review!!

  • If america doesn't get the Audi RS5 then i'm gonna BOYCOTT THIS BITCH!!!! I love the Audi RS5, so sexy and beautiful and sounds so nasty. And all this is coming from a guy who prefers American muscle cars!

  • Didn't they say that it would have a 5.2 Litre FSI V10 like the R8?

  • is the tail light messed up on the video?

  • @broboter56 No, its just that LEDs don't show up properly on camera. They will look fine to your eye.

  • Mein Trauumautoo !!!! RS5

  • Want to own those kind of beast in your car garage? NO MONEY? NO PROBLEM!!! Visit WW W. MyOnlyMarket .CO M !!

  • that thing ripss

  • this car is so sexy i like blue or black more than red though

  • Most beautiful Audi ever. But lose the red and get it in black.

  • @tdecarne

    Or silver

  • @tdecarne this car white must be even more handsome! imagine its black wheels + white... just beautiful

  • @tdecarne noo, both color are good.

  • @tdecarne Yeah indeed! Or maybe white with black rims and matching interior ;D

  • The Eagle Thrust Hammerhead is allot better !!!

  • is the v8 naturally aspirated?

  • @juukame im pretty sure it is

  • @juukame yea it is

  • @juukame yes it is.

  • Am I the only one wondering about the tail lights ?

  • Am I the only one wondering about the tail lights ? they obviously don't work properly!

  • id rather drive an M3, but id like to be seen in an RS5 on the other hand.

  • @ThePhan7em i think either way we would all look brilliant in either of them .

  • @waaasobe cant argue with that

  • Not bad, I would just take a BMW m3 though.

  • love this car especially in white.

  • @1through9athrewz the RS5 the one in the video is coming around then end of august or more likely september 2011 bit pricey though

  • usa doesnt get rs models right????

  • @1through9athrewz maybe soon. the ttrs has been designated for American sale soon but the rs5 wont be here till 2012 i think.

  • Comment removed

  • What is the name of the song from 0.05 till 1.06? Who can help me out, it sounds like the tune of Evil Activities - Evil inside but that is Hardcore genre.

  • only 54 000 pounds? holy shit. in norway it's like 180 000. ridiculous...

  • @musicadeloslocos yh its nicely priced. its about 57,500 on the road

  • So as a German Drift/speed Maniac this car has to sides to it. Ive been driving races for ages and id say im a pretty decent (in relation to other race drivers in semi-pro series) driver. Having said that the RS5 delivers a SAFE yet fast ride. Its what you want to buy if your not about racing. And dont let the haters stop you. However! and for me thats a big HOWEVER, if you want that sport ride, that love, that drifting, just showing off sometimes. This is NOT your car! Go for a 2S or M3

  • @danielhaffa I am sorry but the only thing that this car doesn't have is the option to drift because they think that their customers should be safe and have some precise handling if they wanted to go to the limit of 174 Mph. You know how easy it is to mess up when your car has no kind of control. If Audi wanted to do what everyone else is doing they would blow them out the water because they have already had cars like that and better for decades which is why they're banned from racing.

  • @dhaoracle ur not serious are you? Audi got banned from racing?... From where? DTM? Rallye? Uve got to get ur information straight. They would blow the others out of the water?... dhaoracle.. please.

    Precise handling after 174Mph?... Oh god. The americans. Do you really think a BMW, Porsche.. hell even a subaru(if id make 174Mph) would not have precise handling? The big problem about audi is its understeer. Audi is not the sportscar of choice, its the "fast/comfortable" car of choice.

  • @danielhaffa I am sorry i was wrong their 4WD Quattro system it was banned in BTCC ( british touring car campionship) after Frank Biela literaly destroyed the rest of the car with 1995 A4 touring.In 1996,when audi won 7 out of 7 championships (germany,sweden,UK,South Africa,Italy,Belgium,Spain,New Zeland) the quattro was banned in any touring or supertouring competetition.

  • @danielhaffa And no i don't think that BMW or Porsche would have as precise handling as Audi because Audi's quattro system is just advanced that it transfers power from the front (40%) and back (60%) to front (15%) and back (85%) to do that so called amazing rear wheeled driving that BMW & Porsche does. Audi is just better at balancing all of that out with luxury, safety, speed, and fun which neither of them can accomplish. They have beautiful and fast cars but not like Audi handling and beaut

  • #Prayforjapan

  • I actually went for a drive in an RS5 yesterday and its QUICK! great car.

  • If I win the lottery, this would be the car I'd buy :)

  • at 1:10 you have a brake light out........

  • in terms of traffic you can get from one spot to another safely waaaay faster than with m3

  • Does anyone really give a flying fuck what the plural of Prius is?

  • Not me, I would be very happy if all Prius were crushed and turned into coke cans, death to all Prius!

  • @WillTam08 Its poop on a platter

  • GUYS CHILL! Audi is a brilliant car company, i have so much love for them. Everyone stop fucking insulting each other and car companies we all know are brilliant, i (iMiEbAbY) am a huge fan of BMW and i never insult Audi or Mercedes-Benz becuase they are ALL brilliant. Porschefanatic100 you are right to love BMW and Mercedes but Audi is amazing and TheMegaCONARTIST you are sticking up for Audi as you should but insulting BMW is just idiotic man, BMW is brilliant! As is Audi and Mercedes! END OF!

  • Whats funny is im still arguing with you which means what? Im still watching this video. Which means what? i fucking love the RS 5. Im arguing becuase your saying the M3 is a not good car which is just wrong. If you believe the RS 5 is the better car than the M3 thats your opinion, i believe the M3 is better and thats my opinion. Im arguing becuase your insulting me; a fan of BMW. Both cars are brillian man. Peace. Your a fan of Audi im a fan of BMW, we're the same; standing up for what we love.

  • @iMiEbAbY No matter about that child he is just another " I am different than U because Im an Audifan " - Boy...

    Without Mercedes Audi would not exist now...They just can fake from Mercedes and BMW...

    Mercedes will file a Patent Lawsuit against Audi because they just can fake Technologys and their Patents ;-)

    U can goole it.

  • @Porschefanatic100 I want to shake your hand young man, im a huge german car fan and i love Mercedes-Benz and Audi but you cannot come close to BMW they were the first to create the super saloon and super coupe with the M 635 CSi, E28 M5 and my personal favourite E30 M3! EVERY car company owes EVERYTHING TO BMW ///M POWER BABY. Nice to talk to another REAL car fan its so refreshing :)

  • @iMiEbAbY Thks Man...Most Audifans are 16 years old and got no driver licenso do who cares ;-)

    BMW is definetly an Innovator of Performance...Audi can just copying...

    But I personal would ever prefer an AMG...Good day to U...

  • see...heres how I view the M3 and the RS5, if you;re having fun on the weekends, you want the M3, if you;re late for work, you want the RS5.

  • your point 'not by professionals that know something, not some BMW dreamers here on youtube' im sorry mate but its bullshit, i know your a fan of audi and believe its better than BMW and thats your opinion and noone should make you feal different. I love BMW and believe its better than Audi and thats my opinion and i wont let anyone tell me different. We are both die hard fans of brilliant car companies man. The M3 is brilliant and the RS 5 is brilliant i love both, i love BMW AND Audi.

  • What happens if you push an audi? it will understeer. Both cars have pros and cons when driven to the limit, BTW mate professionals on tv shows Top Gear, fifth gear and youtube channels such as Autocar who include jeremy clarkson, richard hammon, james may, tiff needel, jason plato, sabine schmitz and others have all driven BMWs and all say they are beatufully balanced and plato and needel, nurbergring experts as well as BTCC drivers have all reviewed the m3 and all agree with my point.

  • Excuse me mate but the M3 is not unstable car it has 5050 weight distribution so its perfectly balanced watch any review and it will show you that, with RWD you get oversteer and with 4WD you get understeer. Ofcourse the RS 5 is very stable and grips the road, i have no argument, yes its more stable than the M3 but to say the M3 is an unstable car... than your an idiot, no BMW M car is unstable, il say it again, read andy review and watch any video, ofcourse if you push it, it will oversteer
