Hi folks! Apologies for the current lack of pixels - we upload all our vids in 4k, but 360p seems to be as good as it gets at the moment. If we'd known the vid would be so lo-res before shooting, we could've saved thousands on Mat's hair/makeup budget. Fear not, we have UA-cam wizards working feverishly behind the scenes to identify the issue :)
The starting price for the rs5 in Norway is 1 021 000 NOK, if you make that into pounds, it will be about 100k... So that's the STARTING price in Norway, so be happy uk people
Yes, but, It's not like the RS5 is more expensive and everything else is the same. Everything is more expensive, which means in the UK everything is cheaper, so they compare the prices to all UK Vehicles
Then you would be surprised at how much it costs here. It is, in euros, €250,000. RS6 base price is €287,000. R8 v10 plus is €507,000. Talk about being lucky.
Love how the RS5 looks, but i'd take the c63s as it has everything combined ( from bmw and audi ) plus the V8 and the 'luxuriousness', perfect car would be the looks of an RS5, engine of c63s and handling of m4
Fantastic review. Will watch the others now. As an owner of both cars (last model) I think the RS5 stands out ahead clearly in terms of performance, control and engineering. Look at what options or configurations you can't get on the RS5 as compared to the S5....that tells you how much extra engineering is onboard meaning there's no space for the options. One illustrative example would be air intakes preventing the fitting of fog lamps on the 2002-2011models. But the engine management subsystems take up more of the onboard CPU and the suspension engineering has implications too. One is engineered the other isn't.
Great question about RS5 over S5. The type of question I would ask myself. Excellent comparison in a watchable 10 mins & always good to have the drag races in there too.
U gonna get a 2018 full spec S5 sportback with 15000km for 35-40k€ in Germany, that is worth it indeed. Gonna call that the deal of my life, absolute dreamcar
One of the best videos you done, the honour in your videos makes me watch them, cause I'll never be able to afford half the cars you test drive anyways. Keep them coming
You want us to take note of a guy who ordered his S5 in white. Looks incredibly boring. On the other hand, the front end of the RS5 looks great...and would still look a lot better on a white car. On looks alone it looks worth significantly more. Plus, 100hp is a lot. And then there's the extra torque. The RS5 has almost supercar performance. Sure the S5 is all you probably need. But who doesn't want the extra power and better looks? And surely part of the 13K difference includes more standard features. It certainly includes a more powerful engine and body kit. And let's face it, most people ordering such cars new are likely company car buyers, so what's 13K at the end of the day? Also, as you already stated, you can spend 40K on options, so one needs to put that 13K in perspective?
V6 is the RS5 isn't pretty much the same as in the S5. It's a completely new engine developed by Porsche, it pulls like crazy but it's also surprisingly economical. S5 has regular 3.0 TFSI engine from other Audi models.
@@adammfharris But still it's a completely different engine. It was actually designed by Porsche engineers which have some autonomy and 'borrowed' by Audi.
As an Audi fanboy, I'm very very disappointed with what Audi is doing these days. I honestly prefer the C63 AMG so much more. The S5 sportback is a nice option if you want a fast and practical car though.
So true. Here in the states the 75mph interstate highways are littered with State Police radar detection: ask me how I know. A CO State Trooper clocked myself and Frau at 102mph in a 75mph zone. Hey our MY06 Jetta 1.9 TDI was flat out .... My MY98 Porsche C2S 911 (993) will easily do 102mph .... Its the 75mph highways that suck. .. We often do a 1500mi road trip btw ATL and Vail, CO ... we could easily do 100mph the whole trip, if?
Well said. Only here you can drive your car freely on highways, and I mean pedal to the metal if there’s a space for that of course. Anyway RS is a badge, looks, feels and performance that S just can’t give you.
@@jwj500True. Harder to do the looks, though. Depending on the car, there are significant geo differences that can get in the way of bolting an RS front and rear clip onto an S.
Whats the performance like when both cars get a stage 1 tune? My S5 (2017) went from 354hp to 429hp and 500NM to 697NM, costs were about 1100 pounds for a motor and trans tune and a couple of dyno runs. Performance should be very close to a non tuned RS5. Imo that's a way better way to save the 13k S5 vs RS5 if you don't want to go full out money wise. You can lend my car Matt 😉
it seems as though you can get into the S5 for less and essentially get the same platform. Which you can then selectively upgrade as you see fit. Such as a stage 1 tune that would bump the HP up by about 80hp making the gap between the two even less for a very small outlay of cash ($1200)
The Audi is certainly a superior daily driver though! When it comes to features you want in an all-season everyday car, the RS5 takes the crown... At least in the weather conditions I live in for example.
Thanks for the review, I have a 3lTDI Quattro sports which I have loved for the last 8years, I like the new S5 I tried but they have ruined the dashboard. I'm very tempted to an F-type coupe Awd. Is it worth waiting for an RS5 in a year?
+Calum Wilson I really liked the RS5 - way better than the old one and a better daily than an M4. However, it just lacks a certain wow factor to set it apart from the S5.
Why don't I ever see the links to whenever presenters say, " *Click up there* "? Is there a setting I should activate on my videos for the links to appear/work?
2017: Pay extra for 20" wheels because the standard car has smaller ones 2020: Pay extra for wheels because the standard car doesn't come with any What's wrong with car manufacturers :(
Oh my God this dub. Literally laughed out loud. haha This channel was already damn good and entertaining. But it gets even better every day. Gratz, Mat.
Hahahaha! Never laughed THIS hard on any of your previous videos (not that they aren't funny enough). This one was awesome Mat! Thanks for the laugh, and the great content of course.
RS looks better than the S but not worth the extra cash. Only in Germany it has point in the rest countries with speed limits there's really no point having a race car you can't really drive on road how it's meant to be. Fast!
Everyone who's saying M4 looks better than RS5 Go search a video in UA-cam M4 vs RS5 look side by side and you'll see wish one looks better The RS5 looks stunning specially with black color I think the red is not the perfect color for it also the rims it's not the best one
Ahmad Abu Sneineh it's not hard to look better than a BMW. The new A5 looks better in the flesh than photos or videos depict. It also has brilliant road presence BUT its not better looking than the C coupe by a long shot. The pole shows this.
bilibiliism why do you have the need to answer such nonsense... starting from 0... the rs5 smokes the c63 s... in a rolling race the c63 s smokes the rs5... stop spreading bullshit
for extra $700 you can get a tuning box for the S5 and it gets the power to 400hp and whilst still not as quick as stock RS5, its bloody fast. here in Australia, the RS is extra $30,000 , just not worth it for the roads we have here.
The nue 2.9V6tt designed at Audi AG is also fitted to the nue MY17 Porsche Panamera. .. In fact the 2.9V6 is Audi's, not Porsche AG's. Signed, A MY98 Porsche C2S (993) original owner. .. Porsche is talking smack regarding the 2.9tt lineage. Its Audi AG's. The 2.9tt is destined to be a great motor.....
Seems to be the perfect car for a daily driver. Unlike the M4 and C63's harsh ride. Oh, and Audi is way ahead when it comes to technology so that's a thumbs up for me.
I have a new S5 and I dont doubt the RS5 is quicker but the S5 is very very fast and you just cannot use anywhere near its 355 bhp on UK public roads without risking prison so dont get the point.
Hi folks! Apologies for the current lack of pixels - we upload all our vids in 4k, but 360p seems to be as good as it gets at the moment. If we'd known the vid would be so lo-res before shooting, we could've saved thousands on Mat's hair/makeup budget.

Well it is still worth to see it in 360p :)
At least you saved some of the budget with those charity shop chinos he's wearing!
Mat you crack me up everytime ahahaha!

Why do they cost so much tho?

I love my new RS5, added a tune and exhaust and its now a monster.

Had lots of Audi’s - but not paying 100k for anything that isn’t an R8

For 100k you could just get a nearly new R8...

Both engines were designed by the same group of engineers.

dude, you crack me up. End up watching way more of this stuff than I ever anticipate. good job
As an Audi fanboy, I'm very very disappointed with what Audi is doing these days. I honestly prefer the C63 AMG so much more. The S5 sportback is a nice option if you want a fast and practical car though.
Parth Awasthi c63 amg had so many problem
RS 5 Sportback will come out soon.
so youre not an audi fanboy then lol
Its because Audi got the short straw after the big Dieselgate scandal and financial losses.
Buddy your compare is a bit funny, you are saying that C63 is way more better, then take the RS6 or RS7 and well see after which one is better.
If you live outside Germany, the S5 is more than enough for you

With a software upgrade you can have a near RS5 for an S5 price.
@@jwj500True. Harder to do the looks, though. Depending on the car, there are significant geo differences that can get in the way of bolting an RS front and rear clip onto an S.
@@vomErsten Agree.
Matt all your videos are good, but this one is particularly great for being funny without that getting in the way of the helpful content.
For me this car looks great. I think not everyone who likes fast cars wants a car which is constantely shouting "Here I am, look at me" like an M4.
Whats the performance like when both cars get a stage 1 tune? My S5 (2017) went from 354hp to 429hp and 500NM to 697NM, costs were about 1100 pounds for a motor and trans tune and a couple of dyno runs. Performance should be very close to a non tuned RS5.

Love your reviews as always! Thanks Matt!
love this sense of humor. so easy to watch this video,especially as i am a fan of AUDI.
I’m still loving the c63s it has same quarters time as the rs5 but more power and rolling races and I think it has a nicer interior
The Audi is certainly a superior daily driver though! When it comes to features you want in an all-season everyday car, the RS5 takes the crown... At least in the weather conditions I live in for example.
C63 will get stepped on in drag race

It might look great but it only has a v6.

山内淳カイル c63 harsh ride ? not the c63 I've test driven. it was great in comfort mode
Ive driven both m3 and c63 and neither was harsh lol u must be have some issues with ur body if u cant handle that ride
Greatest video you guys have ever made
I actually think S5 looks better than RS5, the S5 Sportback even better. That said, M4 for me.
This was the most entertaining video I have ever seen for reviewing my favorite car.. LOL good job!!!
8:25 Im dead trololololo ahahahhaa
I have a new S5 and I dont doubt the RS5 is quicker but the S5 is very very fast and you just cannot use anywhere near its 355 bhp on UK public roads without risking prison so dont get the point.
Pretty sure with a tune the RS5 will become blisteringly faster.
You can chip the S5 as well and get well north of 400bhp. I still dont see the point.
so early only 360p is here
lol thought something was wrong with my internet
marko0227 well... It's still 360p😂
Still 360p
