Audi RS5 - (4.2L V8) | Test Drive Review (#6)

Join us for a test drive of the exhilarating 4.2L V8 Audi RS5, and all the drama that goes with the screaming soundtrack of an exhaust that matches up. With a redline of 8,250 rpm this is an extraordinary driving experience. Only available in the US from 2013-2015, this car was part of an EPIC lineup of German Powered V8s that ruled the era, alongside the high revving E92 BMW M3 and thunderous W204 Mercedes C63 AMG. Can this epic V8 keep up with any of the turbocharged, supercharged, or EV vehicle experiences produced today?
