The New Audi RS 5 Sportback features a powerful silhouette with a sleek Sportback profile and RS‑specific details that clearly convey its character, especially the Bedford Green colour that accentuates its lines and dimensions. It combines the RS Sport Plus Package with Carbon Exterior Package and interior Serpentine Green stitching, exclusive to the RS 5 with Bedford Green exterior, complemented by Dinamica material on the steering wheel and a 12 o’clock marking that enhances the high‑performance feel and reflects the RS spirit. The coupé‑like roofline flows smoothly into the rear, while widened front and rear wheel arches give an aggressive stance, complemented by a rear spoiler that improves both appearance and aerodynamics, without sacrificing everyday comfort. Under the hood sits a plug‑in hybrid V6 engine of 2.9 litres paired with a high‑output electric motor, delivering a combined maximum of 639 horsepower and 825 newton‑metres of torque, enabling 0‑100 km/h acceleration in 3.6 seconds. The quattro system with Dynamic Torque Control precisely distributes torque for improved grip, agility, and stability. The RS 5 Sportback is offered in four specially selected colours for this year’s delivery: Plateau Grey (metallic), Progressive Red (metallic), Daytona Grey (pearl effect), and Mythos Black (metallic). Audi Thailand invites Audi Sport fans to view the actual RS 5 Sportback at Audi Centre Thailand (Lat Phrao‑Ram Inthra) from October 3, 2026, with priority access for pre‑registered customers, opening to the general public on October 4. The vehicle will also be on display at Audi showrooms nationwide from October 15 to November 1.
