We Know Now How Much The Audi RS5 Coupe Will Cost In The US

Audi has been on a product onslaught with its RS-branded performance models. The RS3 and TT RS are fantastic and now Audi has finally released pricing for its BMW M4 and Mercedes C63 Coupe rival, the RS5. We'veknown about the RS5for a while now, and now we know how much it will cost in the US. The RS5 carries an MSRP of $69,900 (excluding a $975 destination charge). This makes the RS5 more expensive than the base M4 or C63, but there is more to consider than base price alone.

The RS5 is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 with 444 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. The Audi's V6 produces more power than the BMW's 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six (425 hp), butless than the Mercedes'4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (469 hp). The BMW is available with 444 hp with the Competition Pack, but at a cost of $4,750 over the base price of $68,700. Likewise, the C63 can be had with 503 hp, but for $75,500 compared to the base car at $67,500. It is also important to note the Audi is the only car available with AWD (either standard or optional). This may not mean much to enthusiasts who like to do burnouts, but it could help the RS5 sell well in cold climates.
