The recent unveiling of the new Audi RS 5 has marked a milestone for the iconic German luxury manufacturer. As the first high-performance plug-in hybrid to wear the legendary four rings, the new RS 5 is setting new standards for power, engineering, and performance technology for the brand. A total of 630 horsepower is what lies beneath the new RS 5’s sheet metal, and some truly groundbreaking drivetrain technology is what allows it to be harnessed.
However, until now, that’s all been in theory for the general public, who so far have only been able to see what the Audi RS 5 is capable of on paper. Audi decided to change that by bringing the new performance machine to Morocco, where it was able to impressively demonstrate its performance both on the track and in real-world driving conditions. The Circuit de Marrakech served as a gauntlet for its abilities, with tight curves, slaloms, and designated drift zones. The RS 5’s incredible quattro drivetrain with Dynamic Torque Control was showcased in the car’s ability to tackle challenging corners and remain stable at high speeds.
Meanwhile, the Atlas Mountains, which lie just beyond the city of Marrakech, offered the Audi RS 5 the opportunity to show off its versatility in everyday driving, along switchback roads where its RS sport suspension provided comfort and confidence, its all-electric driving mode offered quiet, efficient driving, and its overall performance engineering and spirited driving character proved engaging in the mountain passes. With a new, high-tech approach to groundbreaking performance, the new hybrid Audi RS 5 is boldly showing how Audi is shaping the future of luxury performance vehicles.
