Even though an all-new generation of the Audi RS5 Coupe was unveiled in the first half of 2018, Audi thought that it would be a good idea to refresh the model just a year and a half later. The very early mid-cycle facelift is a minor one regarding the car's overall design and technical areas, with Ingolstadt preferring to simply refine the model's design language and bring it more in line with its other Audi Sport stablemates.
The refresh also came at the right time to mark the quattro brand's 25th anniversary, and the car was unveiled alongside its five-door brother, the Audi RS5 Sportback. Design wise, you'd need a magnifying glass to observe all the modifications, but almost very single design motif has been revamped. The recognizable Singleframe engine grille is now wider and flatter, while the faux air vents sitting above it are inspired by the original Audi Sport quattro from 1984, the model that started the Audi Sport lineage. Wheel arches have been widened by 40 mm (1.6 in), while the optional matrix LED headlights with laser light technology now feature darkened bezels. The side sills and faux aerodynamic diffuser in the rear bumper have also been refreshed and can be further individualized with gloss black, matte aluminum or even carbon fiber styling packages. The 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 has the same output as its predecessor, with 450 horsepower and 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft) of torque on tap sent to all four wheels.
