# 2027 Audi RS5 Revealed in Full
Audi pulled back the curtain on the next-generation RS5, and the performance coupe signals a major shift in how the brand approaches its most potent models. The 2027 RS5 ditches the twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 that powered recent generations, replacing it with a new mild-hybrid V6 engine paired with an electric motor for added grunt.
The new powertrain delivers enhanced efficiency without sacrificing the aggressive performance DNA that defines the RS line. Audi hasn't disclosed final horsepower figures yet, but expect competitive output that slots the RS5 alongside rivals like the BMW M440i xDrive and Mercedes-AMG C63.
The redesigned body language reflects Audi's latest design language, with sharper lines and an even more aggressive front end. The new RS5 features a wider stance, reconfigured headlights, and a lower stance relative to its predecessor. Inside, a modernized cabin incorporates the latest infotainment tech and digital cockpit displays that push further into the minimalist aesthetic Audi championed with recent A4 and A6 updates.
Dynamic handling improvements come courtesy of revised suspension geometry and a retuned all-wheel-drive system that distributes power more intelligently between the front and rear axles. The RS5 retains standard carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive dampers that automatically adjust stiffness based on driving conditions.
Audi's commitment to electrification reaches its performance division. The mild-hybrid system captures energy during braking and coasting, deploying it when the driver demands acceleration. This approach allows Audi to maintain traditional performance thrills while meeting tightening emissions standards across global markets.
