Audi RS5, the first plug-in hybrid in the RS series
The all-wheel-drive system is another key development. The RS 5 debuts a center differential with preload that remains partially locked even when the driver lifts off the accelerator. Audi claims this solution improves cornering response and reduces understeer during weight transfer
How the battery's operation is managed has been a crucial aspect in a car capable of such high performance. The driver can select EV and Hybrid modes, as well as manually set a target charge level using a digital control. Specifically, in Dynamic mode, at least 20% is reserved, while in RS Sport and RS Torque Rear modes, the system maintains up to 90%
