Audi RS 5 (8T) Cabriolet

Product Overview
Audi RS 5 Cabriolet (Type 8T) is the high-performance variant of the A5 compact executive convertible in production from 2012 to 2015. It was powered by the final iteration of Audi's 4.2L V8.
Compared to the RS 4 Cabriolet that preceded it, the RS 5 has a slightly more coherent exterior design. Unfortunately, while the engine output is increased, it lost the manual transmission. The 7-speed DCT is not very reliable, even though it performs well when new.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi RS 5 Cabriolet comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
