Performance
The powerful engine can accelerate the RS 5 Cabriolet from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, and achieve a standard top speed that is capped at 155 mph. However, customers can request a non-capped version from the manufacturer that increases the maximum speed to 174 mph. Given the power of the car, its combined city/highway fuel consumption is a relatively low 21.5 miles per gallon.
The Audi RS 5 comes with a seven speed, S tronic transmission with a dual clutch system that can be operated manually or automatically. In manual mode, gears can be selected using either the manual shift lever or the paddles mounted on the steering wheel.
Interior
The standard sport seats are power adjustable. They are built with high side panels that provide the best support laterally, and each has its head restraint integrated. They also have lumbar support, as well as thigh supports that can be slid out if required.
Seat covers come in Alcantara and leather. You can opt for superior upholstery made of Fine Nappa leather that is pigmented to reduce heating during sunny conditions. Some opt for either bucket seats that can be adjusted manually, or for seats with individual climate control that includes ventilation.
