Her decision Audi to change the names in its range, giving to thermal models the odd numbers and electrically the even numbersresults in “new” models.
One of them is the RS5 Avantwhich if you look for it, you will not find it in the range, since it will be the successor of the existing one thermal RS4 Avant. A few months ago our partners had met her “base” version of the all-new A5 Avant and now they have supplied us with pictures of her “hot” variant.
As one would expect, the design changes are evident to highlight the “wild” and sporty character of the version. On the front, this is demonstrated by large mask and air intakesbut also them large domeswhich enable placement air outlets behind the front wheels!
They seem to have a similar design rear wheel archeshowever a careful look “reveals” that it is about additional “eyebrows” that have been placed. But anyway overall the new RS5 Avant shows wider and “aggressive” compared to the conventional version.
In addition, on the side they can also be seen new aluminum wheels with a five-spoke design, but behind each of the “main” there are two more. Otherwise, the German brand has placed on their original upgraded LED Matrix headlights and maintains the overall, characteristic, station wagon silhouette.
There will also be important news under the hoodas Audi is expected to “endow” the RS5 Avant with plug-in hybrid powertrain. The information states that the existing one will be maintained 2.9 L V6 engine of the RS4 Avant, which delivers 450 PS but the power will go up quite a bit with the addition electric motor.
Although no figures have been made known, it is estimated that the performance it will exceed 500 PS and it remains to be seen whether he will come close to them 680 PS of (also PHEV) competitive Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance Estate.
The world premiere of “simple” Audi A5 Avant is expected within 2024 and it is possible that the same will happen for the strong one RS version.
