If you’re wanting a bit more performance and engagement from your Audi, the Audi RS Competition packages for the RS4 and RS5 have been announced.
The Audi RS4 and RS5 aren’t exactly slow or boring to drive quickly, but with the Audi RS Competition packages, there’s more fun to be had.
The Audi RS Competition and Competition Plus packages improve the handling, bring more noise to the party and are slightly quicker to 100 kph. There are also some nice tasty visual upgrades to let people know your Audi is a bit more special.
As far as suspension upgrades go, there are now manually-adjustable RS sport suspension pro coilovers which lower the car by 10 mm, higher spring rates, three-way adjustable dampers and stiffer stabilizers.
Audi has also added the quattro sports differential, retuned the ABS and fitted a fixed steering ratio of 1:13:1. The uprated RS ceramic brakes are claimed to improved braking distance and customers can spec special Pirelli Corsa P Zero rubber. There are also tweaks to the exhaust, which are now finished in matte black and you should be able to hear that V6 rumble more prominently.
Engine power has not been changed and the 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 continues to deliver 331 kW and 600 Nm. Thanks to revisions to the gearbox software, the Audi RS4 shaves 0.2 seconds off of its 0-100 kph time. It’ll now do the same sprint in just 3.9 seconds, while the RS5 is good for 0-100 kph in 3.8 seconds. All products now have a top speed of 290 kph.
You’ll be able to spot the newcomer with its fresh 20-inch alloy wheels, glossy black badges and the carbon matte optics package, which includes an abundance of carbon matte goodies.
