BMW fans mourned the demise of the cool V8 soundtrack which was absent in the new generation M3 and M4 models – because they’ve gone turbo – for months. For Audi fans that was never a problem because their sport GT, the RS5, never sounded good anyway. Now though, there is a solution to that problem and it’s called Armytrix Audi RS5.
This thing is equipped with Armytrix Cat-Back Valvetronic exhaust system tailored to fit the 4.2-liter FSI engine in the RS5. Thing is, in curing this engine’s lack of soulful sound Armytrix may have got a bit carried away and overdone it. Armytrix Audi RS5 is now the loudest of its kind in the world. Mercifully, it’s a good noise it makes:
Audi RS5 packs 331 kW (450 hp) at 8,250 rpm, with the peak torque of 430 Nm (317.15 lb-ft) available between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. The high-performance coupe accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.5 seconds. Audi will increase the electronically governed top speed to 280 km/h (173.98 mph) upon request.
