444 HP V6, Dynamic suspension, Loaded with Driver Assistance tech

The 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback was a significant entry into the performance market, marrying the emotional flair of a coupe with the practicality of a five-door hatchback. Crucially, this model marked the Sportback's first availability in the United States.

Under the hood, the RS 5 Sportback features a potent 2.9 L TFSI V6 biturbo engine. This modern powerplant replaced the previous V8, yet still delivered an impressive 444 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission and the signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the car achieves a 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 3.8 seconds. The Sportback's sloping roofline cleverly conceals its superior utility, offering a segment-leading 21.8 cubic feet of cargo room, solidifying its place as a supremely fast, yet genuinely usable, daily driver.

The vehicle offered, a highly optioned 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback, is an exceptional example of a modern performance machine, successfully blending the sleek lines of a coupe with the utility of a five-door liftback. This model was a significant entry into the market, marrying emotional flair with practicality, and marked the Sportback's first availability in the United States.

This specific machine is presented in the coveted Nardo Grey finish. The odometer shows 36,292 miles.

Powering this RS 5 is a formidable twin-turbocharged 2.9 L V6 TFSI engine, factory-rated for 444 HP and 443 lb-ft of torque. This output is channeled through an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi's renowned Quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system, featuring a rear sport differential for enhanced dynamics. Crucially, this car includes the optional Dynamic Package, which adds performance hardware like the RS Sport Suspension Plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) and the more aggressive RS Sport Exhaust System.

The CARFAX report documents a service entry in August 2023 at Audi and Porsche of Southampton, New York, which included the installation of four new tires. Recent essential maintenance has been performed to address a leaking water pump, including the replacement of the water pump, thermostat, vacuum solenoid, hose assembly, vacuum reservoir, and serpentine belts.

Finished in Nardo Grey, the exterior benefits from the Black Optic Package, which substitutes the standard trim, mirror housings, and exhaust tips for high-gloss black components. The Dynamic Package further accents the exterior with red brake calipers. Compared to the standard A5, RS 5 variants boast a more aggressive front fascia with a honeycomb grille, wider fenders (the signature "quattro blisters"), side skirts, and a distinct black rear diffuser. This car rides on 20-inch 5-arm-flag design forged wheels in a bicolor finish, currently wrapped in Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 tires (dated 2019 and 2020). Exterior features include LED headlights/taillights, auto-dimming power-folding mirrors, an electric sunroof, a power liftgate, parking sensors, and a rearview camera. Minor paint touch-ups are noted on the door handles and bumpers.

The cabin is trimmed in Black Nappa leather and Alcantara with meticulous Rock Grey stitching highlighting the seats, which feature a distinctive honeycomb pattern. Carbon fiber trim pieces add a performance edge to the interior design. Comfort and technology are maximized with the inclusion of several packages: the Fine Nappa Leather Package and the Cold Weather Package (heated rear seats and heated three-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters). Amenities include heated and massaging 8-way power-adjustable front sport seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, three-zone automatic climate control, Audi Virtual Cockpit, and MMI Navigation Plus. For safety and driver assistance, the car is fitted with the optional RS Driver Assistance Package, which adds sophisticated systems like Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist, Audi Active Lane Assist, a top-view camera system, Park Steering Assist, High-Beam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a head-up display.

The sale of this highly optioned Audi includes the original window sticker and owner's manuals.
