    Hi guys.

    I just did a comparison shoot between the new RS5 Sporback, vs the pre-facelift B9 one. Enjoy!

    Awesome video comparison! Anyone on the fence would definitely be helped by this.

    Love both of them...I'm going from a B9 RS5 Sportback (Nardo) to a B9.5 RS5 Sportback (Nardo) so this was amazing to see side by side. Do not regret my decision (and apparently your poll with the B9.5 at 74% of the votes supports that!). Good stuff man.

    Your videos are the best. Anything with turbo blue? We are trying to see the difference between it and vw cornflower blue. Our daughter has a cornflower blue gti. We ordered a turbo blue rs5 coupe. Hoping they are different enough. Can’t find any photos of the 2 together. Lol

    Hold up. In the U.S.A. did the B9 RS5 have a rear diffuser? I thought it always had the honeycomb thing next to the exhausts like in the B9.5 pictured.

    Nope. The B9 never had the honeycomb part of the diffuser.

    Well I stand corrected. I prefer the diffuser on the B9.

    B9 has the older Audi design language... B9.5 is working toward the new design language. Being a B9 RS5 owner I prefer it. I'm not a fan of the B9.5 piano black trim, nor the touch screen and of course I prefer the flat bottom steering wheel. Outside the two cars have their unique differences that both look amazing.
