I have had a couple of test drives now prior to getting mine in Jan, i have noticed the gearing definitely isnt what i expected compared to other performance cars with similiar dual cluth gearboxes.. the idea of fuel saving to me does not make sense, the people buying these cars are surely not concerned about this.. i definitely am not.
I agree this car seems to be a comprimise to what could have been a very good car. I think Audi have moved the RS lines from what they used to be, unique vehicle targeted towards people after performance to just a mainstream offering
I haven't seen this posted anywhere so.... crazy stuff

Nice looking RS5.
Does someone know if MTM is also working on some performance mods?
Any dyno results from senner tuning, or is it 500Hp on paper only.
Kind Regards

The acceleration times are not so bad...

It's MB E63 AMG territory.

But you can also see why the 63 Biturbo version will be more popular...
Larger car, drinks less, much better performance. No brainer.

The new 63 engine is one hell of an engine, I mean... Look at the torque and perfomance figures of the S63.
The RS5 isn't slow, but I'm more impressed by the TT-RS that really goes with 14,9 to 200 km/h.
a car is not only about performance else the RS5 would not sell at all.... but package is on my view better than TT RS..... I had the opporuntity to buy any one of them. I tried them both.... and didn iot hesitate to wait. Ritchy did the same type of thing....
the RS5 and the TT RS is nto targetting the same type of people in my view...
I went to see my RS5 today. It is stripped out of its interiors to finalize the interios i want to... but gosh I looked at the car and had to say I am really happy ofm y purchase and can't think a second that my choice was wrong...

Please i need some help !!!
I've slightly damaged the blade with something on the road (number 3 on the pic), black one (i have the black package) part number 8T0 807 513 T94. I've ordered a new one, no problem with that.
The problem, is that a part (number 2 on the pic), just at the rear of this blade, is also damaged. But even with ETKA (showing something like an S5 bumber-where this part comes with the all bumber which is not the case of the RS5), no way to find any part number!
All seems to be (hopefully) linked only with the lip (number 1 on the pic), so i guess Audi won't have to remove the all bumper to fix those 2 parts.
But if anyone here (Qisha ?) has the number 2 part number (and by the way confirm i just have to remove the lip and not the entire bumper), i would save a lot of time by not leaving my car at the workshop (necessary to find the number on the part then order it). I would of course very much appreciate !
Thanks by advance for your help.
I might have found the part you are looking for.
here is the part No references for RS5 and as we talked about it the picture does not corresponf to real RS5 parts. but the ref do of course.
I would bet on part number 8T0 807 061 GRU.
reason is rlike you say there are 3 parts that compose the bottom part of the front bumper. and this is the only ref that only exists in one version (not color coding) where the other two we do know they can either be in silver/black or car color. So by exclusion I get to that conclusion.

what you should check if ask the dealer when enterring your chassis number if that part is associated with your car. and if it is I think its right. On the other hand if its the case... your dealer is crapy becasue that is pretty obviosu to find..... the reason why I did not give you this part initially is becasue I misunderstood you and was thinking you were looking for a rear bumper part...
