Audi claims fuel economy of 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined. That's not bad, considering that the convertible weighs nearly 400 pounds more than the coupe. That power is transferred to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission.Īudi says the RS 5 Cabriolet will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, about a half-second slower than the coupe. Like the coupe, the RS 5 convertible features a 4.2-liter V8 engine making 450 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque.

For the 2014 Audi RS 5, this means a new soft-top convertible model that joins the existing coupe. Audi has turned its A, S, and RS lineups into the automotive equivalent of new iPhone introductions: Every year, you can expect a little more from a new model.
