- Audi unveiled the 2026 RS5 Sedan and Avant in Munich, pegging the manufacturer-limited output at 470kW and 825Nm, CarExpert reports.
- Audi positions the PHEV RS5 as the mid-size RS successor after retiring the RS4 name, extensively modifying the 2.9-litre biturbo V6 for high petrol output in the hybrid system.
- The petrol 2.9‑litre biturbo V6, modified, produces 375kW, backed by a 130kW/460Nm electric motor and 22kWh lithium‑ion battery under the boot floor, with an eight‑speed Tiptronic gearbox and 8kW/40Nm rear diff motor.

- Technically extreme RS5 out-powers Audi's larger RS6 on paper and will carry the mid-size RS legacy into the late 2020s with Audi RS Sport chassis and drivetrain tech.
