    Great video! But come on Audi, this is a terrible send off for the B9 RS5. You finally update the suspension (something that should have been done from the first model year) and what else? Ugly wheels that look like they came off a Kia Stinger (in my opinion), "modified" Sport Diff...whatever that is I'm sure nobody will be able to tell the difference, and recycled material on the interior? Geez man.

    you know I just noticed something about the facelift versions. The removal of "quattro." I'll be dipped. But yea, kind of meh for a "competition" version. Very surprised not to see any HP gains.

    Power bumps are reserved for "plus" models. It's pretty common for manufacturers to just do an appearance package for the last year or two. Power bumps are too costly for small number of cars they'll sell since the vehicle would have to be recertified for emissions.

    there will be a "plus" model but that only offers adjustable coils and a tweaked diff. disappointing nonetheless.

    The upgraded suspension and exhaust is something that should have happened years ago. I like it, but it's too little too late

    LoL what a lame attempt at a "competition" package. Overpriced too. I'll keep my '21 and give it to my son when I'm ready to move on.
