RE: Audi RS5 Cabriolet video nasty

[Jenx]

I know that circuit!!! It's Guadix in southern Spain...did a track day there in my Noble

[Mastodon2]

Fake exhaust tips, oh dear.

I like the RS5, it's one of the few Audis that I do like, but this is rubbish - I'd much rather see them putting some effort into an RS5 that's had a diet, and the marketing is even worse. "Listen to this, it sounds amazing" etc - well it does sound good, just not as good as BMW or Mercedes competitor V8s, but let's pretend they don't exist eh.

And those wheels, urgh!

[chiark]

How can you not like it? It has a 'sharp tornedo line'! Where's my cheque book?

I have never seen a more unimpressed bunch of people accosted on a street in London. Brilliant for all the wrong reasons.

[P4ROT]

Enjoyed this video much more than I thought I would, but only because it encapsulates perfectly the exact reason I dislike the Audi brand and the majority of its products....

[Ashok]

Oh dear, the girl at 0:52 - this is amaaaaazing!

[elephantstone]

st video, cant get excited about the car either..

[famfarrow]

That. Was. Awful. Why advertise your fake exhaust tips also!?! terrible.

I love how completely bored Rael Fay or whatever her name is appears to be whilst driving it.

Your lives sound tough, lads

If you look very closely at the exhaust tips at 0.24 ish, you will see they are fake! The real exhaust appears to stop short, and the tips are just put there for styling. Shame.

It's the same on my R8. Worst part of the car imo - sort of thing we used to buy from Halfords

[M666 EVO]

That looks like a standard A5

Car marketers really do view the public as complete idiots.

Are they wrong?

[troc]

It's a shame this is an RS5-d version of the A5 cabriolet and not a cabriolet version of the RS5.

I was about to say that, except I've done a few days there on the bike, awesome little circuit, the BSB boys use it for pre season testing ... its great fun, very busy, but a tad mental .....

Bet it was awesome in a Noble ?

[Stew2000]

Completely stupid using an audio file to sell a car.

[tommy vercetti]

Incredibly shiit video

[ItsJustARide]

Dreadful video, truly appalling. To think some numpties somewhere got paid good money to come up with that.

Exhaust sounds great to my ears and looks mighty fine too. Sounds far better than the new M3 that Dale videoed yesterday.

All IMHO.

[hunt_the_fox]

Couldn't finish watching that, too cringeworthy. Like the blonde though.

[crispyshark]

does it really need 8 pot brakes?! Surely 6 pots are fine.

[GreenVault]

RS4 Avant = extremely cool. RS5 convertible = not. Inexplicable, but incontrovertibly true.

Yeah, all this hatred I have for fake exhaust tips is really winding me up
