Audi RS5 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
The Audi RS5 is a high-performance coupe delivering thrills without ever feeling like too much to handle.
Audi’s RS5 first showed up at the start of this decade packing a thirsty but powerful 4.2-litre V8 under the bonnet, an engine which has slowly faded from acceptability in the eyes of the emissions testers. The new RS5 arrived last year and replaced it with a powerful 2.9-litre V6, an engine that, while lighter, produces the same power output but superior emissions and fuel efficiency.
The RS5 competes with the BMW M4, Mercedes-Benz C63 and soon, an Alfa Romeo. The RS5 though is a little different in spirit to the competitive M4 , a car that feels sharper and angrier than the RS5, more like a sports car, in fact. Instead, the RS5 goes for a more measured, longer game by pitching itself as more of a Grand Tourer. With 450bhp from that new twin-turbo V6 and the ‘Tiptronic’ 8-speed automatic, the RS5 feels more at home at a rapid, consistent pace than it does switching around quickly and suddenly. This approach from Audi really pays off and provides Synergy lease customers looking for a sports coupe with something a little different to the M4.
Despite feeling better at a high yet steady pace, the RS5 is still a seriously rapid car, reaching 62mph in a tenth under 4-seconds and the ‘quattro’ all-wheel drive making acceleration out of corners particularly forceful. When the mood takes you, it can easily compete with some of the fastest cars on the market, it’s actually the fastest accelerating car of its kind and is remarkably easy to wield, which is a bit of an Audi Sport trademark. Another hallmark of the ‘RS’ models is the fantastic sound and exhaust note produced, a display of theatrics that never fails to put a smile on your face and the RS5 has certainly inherited that trait too.
We talk a lot about how beautiful Audi’s interiors are, and the RS5’s is naturally no different to the rest of the family. There’s lots of ‘RS’ touches in the cockpit and gorgeous seats to sit in, and you're spoiled on the technology front too. ‘Virtual Cockpit’ comes as standard, as does a host of other useful aids like massage seating, Audi’s upgraded navigation system, climate and cruise control. Rear seats are also rather spacious despite this being a coupe, and the boot capacity is also impressive.
Cars like the Audi RS5 are true driver’s machines and are something special to have on the driveway. Fast, practical, and always a talking point, the RS5 is a performance coupe that deserves all the attention it gets. At Synergy we cater for all customers which is why we have an extensive range of Audi RS5 personal, and business lease deals.
