Audi RS5 Coupe on HRE Wheels

For 2012, the Audi RS5 Coupe got some new design elements under its belt, such as revised front end, with different headlights and a hexagonal grille. A bit of nip and tuck only managed to strengthen the look of one of the sexist cars Audi has designed in recent years.

Even though the car is a little old, it’s hard not to still be impressed with the quattro division’s work. The RS5 delivers 450 hp from its 4.2-liter V8 engine and will sprint to 62 mph in just 4.5 seconds. Top speed is usually limited to 155 mph (250 km/h), but Audi will lift that to 174 mph (280 km/h) if you want.

The RS5 also has plenty of the Audi build quality and sober interior charm, which was now been enhanced with the help of a custom set of wheels. HRE Performance Wheels has fitted a set of their 10-spoke S101 rims in gloss charcoal. The slick Pirelli tires also add to the look and make this so much more than a sports coupe.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
