Audi RS5 Facelift

[Ritchy]

Most of all, when would it be possible to order the new FL ? A reason for the delay ?

I really like the new front end but Audi are using these new headlights on every new model. I really liked the new A6 when it first came out but now the A4, A5, A3 have the same headlights. I think Audi grilles should be similar for all models but headlights should be totally unique to that model.

all computer similated pics as exacly the same as for RS5 pre facelift.... nowadasy you can't trust any pics any longer.... and its a pity... on the other hand it does surely reflect the reality

New brake discs design?

[ChicagoAudi]

Looks as if Audi is using the wave design for the front brake rotors. Advantages are said to include lower (unsprung) weight and better heat dissipation. Another benefit is increased braking force.

good catch. had not seen this on th pics...

very nice exterior
absolutely dead under the hood - atmo V8 is a way to nowhere. CHANGE for Turbo V8!

[Ritchy]

Never heard about those brakes....nice to see that each item has been improved.

I hope Audi has also modified the ceramics for the latest generation.

Minor, but i've noticed that figures (CO2, 0-100km/h, O-200km/h) are a bit better. Due to less weight by using aluminium ? start&stop system ?

[youry]

in ETKA ceramics are the same. while indeed there are now two versions for the std brakes.

Everything seems to be ready with the RS5. But still no order or delivery date available.

Some German forums say it's due to the engine, not fully ready for production. Does that mean there's an improvement on the previous one ? maybe Audi doesn't want further RS5's owners upset with the power ?

I would appreciate, for once, to watch a video where the RS5 is not far behind another 400/450HP similar vehicule....

By the way Ritchy your RSQUATTRO sport filters for your coming RS5 FL should be delivered to you on wendesday by UPS... and I might have found somebody interested in your flat bottom steering wheel, but nothing confirmed yet.

Such good news Youry....thanks for all.

Hurry now to pick up my new car, i hope before June.

Does anyone have real picture from new wheels from ETKA. There is no part numbers yes, but here is picture?

[Ritchy]

Hi everyone, just one question: how is it possible that anyone knows when orders are available ?

I left 46665733222 messages to Audi, almost the same to my dealer, and for 2 months, not one single mail or call. Even for new year. How nowadays a factory can react with so poor communication, and consideration for custumers. Just a shame.

Such a shame, i'm thinking to switch for another car, and take back my deposit, the full amount of my previous car.

Even more when i see that the new TT-RS plus will perform a 0-100km.h almost half a second quicker than the RS5.

a car cannot be jusdged only on a 0 to 100..... the TTRS engine is exactly the same just tuned up electronically... i know you will not like a small car like that.... 200% sure.... its a hladex system not real quattro...
