Goodbye RS4, Hello RS5

[A4toRS4]

So in the last week I sold my RS4 and just picked up an RS5 yesterday. I am going to miss my RS4 but the RS5 is amazing. I have been waiting for all the options I wanted and I finally found a 2013 Suzuka gray with the alcantara leather and titanium package.

Nice, looks great. Looks to me like it's got spacers and has already been lowered a bit.

[14S4GWM]

Definitely not 13 wheels

Beautiful whip. I hope Larsen took good car of you.

Agreed! Mega drool!

Dumb question...What other vehicles did Audi use flared fenders like this? Was it only the rs4?

It's just the right amount of flare. Not over the top.

Wish my S5 had this look too

Thanks guys for all the replies. Yeah I absolutely love this car. I still have the BBS wheels and come this summer, will probably put them on.

No you are right, I think the previous owner put them on.

Not sure if it is lowered, we checked and it looks like stock springs. There are spacers on it though which look great and makes the wheels flush.

Yeah i had a real good experience with Larson Audi. of course it helps when you work for Audi Financial Services

Agreed! Mega drool!

The RS vehicles are the only Audi's that have the fender flares.

But not our B8.5 RS5s tho, right? Or I guess the same goes for the B8 RS4s.?

I mean bodies particularly the fenders between a5, s5 and rs5 all seems to be identical to me.

Nice. Enjoy the new model. I would have definitely dropped a couple of tears getting rid of the RS4.

The B8 RS4 and RS5 both B8 and 8.5 RS5 have wider front and rear fenders.

OP, new car looks great, it looks lower and spaced to me too. A good find.

You need to take a closer look. The wide fender design of the RS5 pays tribute to the Ur-Quattro. The RS5 was launched exactly 30 years after the legendary Audi Quattro.

Congrats on the RS5! Loved the 10.5 CH-R on the RS4. They'll work great on the RS5 too. Did yours have a sunroof?

Welcome to the best section on AZ :)

[chrissurfr]

Welcome :) still love the RS4s.

Jealous of your seats too! I couldn't find a car with those.

I don't know how you parted with that RS4. thing is gorgeous

[Mops@Nemesis]

From what I see, most part due to cost of ownership.

[scottykenneth]

Congrats!! Welcome to the RS5 club

[zhclvn]

OMG I love your RS5!!!! If I would have ordered one, it would be that exact same spec

[astonmartin007]

Your new RS looks amazing and congrats!!!!!!!!

[Octothorpe]

Congrats and welcome!

[GotRS?]

Congrats. I did the same move, never looked back. Particularly notice how they magic'd the understeer away!

[jgd]

Nice congrats!

[A4toRS4]

Thanks again guys for all the replies. I absolutely love this car. It is amazing just how much the motor has evloved from the RS4 to the RS5. Feels way faster.

Not sure if you are talking about the RS4 or RS5 but yes, they both had/have a sunroof.

Yeah the handling on this car is much better as well. I have been so busy (plus terrible wather) that I really haven't had a chance to find some twisty roads. Definitely when it gets nice again.

[patmusk]

Congrats! Great choice of color/options.

Gotcha, and the RS4. Could not see a seam. I love sunroof delete cars :)
