Audi RS5 Its breathtaking performance and concentrated power take the RS5 from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.6 seconds, hardly surprising given the standard seven-speed, double clutch gearbox and the engine’s 430 Nm of torque. The top-of-the-range model in the Audi 5 family produces 450 bhp and has a top speed of 250 km/h. RECARO has made use of its new hybrid construction method to produce the seats of the Audi RS5. With this manufacturing process, RECARO has brought about a revolution in seat design by using plastics for load-bearing structures, as well as in other areas. Conventional seats have heavy, bulky metal structures. The new process allows for significant weight reductions and space savings, together with a wide variety of individual seat designs that have not been possible until now. RECARO Audi RS5 shell seat The RECARO shell seats for the Audi RS5 are available from the spring of 2010 as optional extras from Audi dealers.
