7 Rapid Cars That The New Audi RS5 Can Beat To 62mph
We’ve all known, since we were little kids, that any car that has a 0-62mph time beginning with a three is a serious traffic light grand prix weapon. It used to be the arena of hyper-exclusive, rarefied exotica, but advancements in four-wheel drive and turbocharging mean that these days, even mid-size fast coupes can smack down a mighty time.
The new RS5 is such a car. Hitting 62mph in just 3.9 seconds, it’s properly, properly quick. Quicker, in fact, than supercar legends and even some current driver-focused sports cars. The RS5 isn’t as exotic and maybe isn’t even as desirable as any of these, but no one’s going to tell us that spending half the price on a car that’s this fast is a bad idea.
It’s not an impractical car, either. It has seats for all the family, a big-ish boot and, if you have more patience than the Dalai Lama, it’ll do 32.5mpg. If Audi’s recent form carries on, we might even see faster versions down the line. An RS5 Plus might tick a few more supercars off its list…

That RS5 is a seriously good-looking car
It’s crazy how styles continue to modernize without looking like futuristic cliches. They all look agressive and elegant at the same time.
Still not faster than a smackhead on giro day!
The M5 does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
2008 Audi C6 RS6 be like- y u no be a wagon?
I’d still have the RS6 C6, the BUH engine is bulletproof and can handle loads of power on stock internals. But I agree that the new RS5 is a beast.
