Hi folks! Apologies for the current lack of pixels - we upload all our vids in 4k, but 360p seems to be as good as it gets at the moment. If we'd known the vid would be so lo-res before shooting, we could've saved thousands on Mat's hair/makeup budget. Fear not, we have TH-cam wizards working feverishly behind the scenes to identify the issue :)
The starting price for the rs5 in Norway is 1 021 000 NOK, if you make that into pounds, it will be about 100k... So that's the STARTING price in Norway, so be happy uk people
Yes, but, It's not like the RS5 is more expensive and everything else is the same. Everything is more expensive, which means in the UK everything is cheaper, so they compare the prices to all UK Vehicles
Then you would be surprised at how much it costs here. It is, in euros, €250,000. RS6 base price is €287,000. R8 v10 plus is €507,000. Talk about being lucky.
Great question about RS5 over S5. The type of question I would ask myself. Excellent comparison in a watchable 10 mins & always good to have the drag races in there too.
U gonna get a 2018 full spec S5 sportback with 15000km for 35-40k€ in Germany, that is worth it indeed. Gonna call that the deal of my life, absolute dreamcar
Love how the RS5 looks, but i'd take the c63s as it has everything combined ( from bmw and audi ) plus the V8 and the 'luxuriousness', perfect car would be the looks of an RS5, engine of c63s and handling of m4
One of the best videos you done, the honour in your videos makes me watch them, cause I'll never be able to afford half the cars you test drive anyways. Keep them coming
Fantastic review. Will watch the others now. As an owner of both cars (last model) I think the RS5 stands out ahead clearly in terms of performance, control and engineering. Look at what options or configurations you can't get on the RS5 as compared to the S5....that tells you how much extra engineering is onboard meaning there's no space for the options. One illustrative example would be air intakes preventing the fitting of fog lamps on the 2002-2011models. But the engine management subsystems take up more of the onboard CPU and the suspension engineering has implications too. One is engineered the other isn't.
So true. Here in the states the 75mph interstate highways are littered with State Police radar detection: ask me how I know. A CO State Trooper clocked myself and Frau at 102mph in a 75mph zone. Hey our MY06 Jetta 1.9 TDI was flat out .... My MY98 Porsche C2S 911 (993) will easily do 102mph .... Its the 75mph highways that suck. .. We often do a 1500mi road trip btw ATL and Vail, CO ... we could easily do 100mph the whole trip, if?
Well said. Only here you can drive your car freely on highways, and I mean pedal to the metal if there’s a space for that of course. Anyway RS is a badge, looks, feels and performance that S just can’t give you.
@@jwj500True. Harder to do the looks, though. Depending on the car, there are significant geo differences that can get in the way of bolting an RS front and rear clip onto an S.
V6 is the RS5 isn't pretty much the same as in the S5. It's a completely new engine developed by Porsche, it pulls like crazy but it's also surprisingly economical. S5 has regular 3.0 TFSI engine from other Audi models.
@@adammfharris But still it's a completely different engine. It was actually designed by Porsche engineers which have some autonomy and 'borrowed' by Audi.
Oh my God this dub. Literally laughed out loud. haha This channel was already damn good and entertaining. But it gets even better every day. Gratz, Mat.
Hahahaha! Never laughed THIS hard on any of your previous videos (not that they aren't funny enough). This one was awesome Mat! Thanks for the laugh, and the great content of course.
Whats the performance like when both cars get a stage 1 tune? My S5 (2017) went from 354hp to 429hp and 500NM to 697NM, costs were about 1100 pounds for a motor and trans tune and a couple of dyno runs. Performance should be very close to a non tuned RS5. Imo that's a way better way to save the 13k S5 vs RS5 if you don't want to go full out money wise. You can lend my car Matt 😉
it seems as though you can get into the S5 for less and essentially get the same platform. Which you can then selectively upgrade as you see fit. Such as a stage 1 tune that would bump the HP up by about 80hp making the gap between the two even less for a very small outlay of cash ($1200)
The Audi is certainly a superior daily driver though! When it comes to features you want in an all-season everyday car, the RS5 takes the crown... At least in the weather conditions I live in for example.
2017: Pay extra for 20" wheels because the standard car has smaller ones 2020: Pay extra for wheels because the standard car doesn't come with any What's wrong with car manufacturers :(
As an Audi fanboy, I'm very very disappointed with what Audi is doing these days. I honestly prefer the C63 AMG so much more. The S5 sportback is a nice option if you want a fast and practical car though.
Thanks for the review, I have a 3lTDI Quattro sports which I have loved for the last 8years, I like the new S5 I tried but they have ruined the dashboard. I'm very tempted to an F-type coupe Awd. Is it worth waiting for an RS5 in a year?
+Calum Wilson I really liked the RS5 - way better than the old one and a better daily than an M4. However, it just lacks a certain wow factor to set it apart from the S5.
Mat : ' @8 :50 ; (RS5 Flies away)Ooooooh no , I am losing (S5 is behind by a lot) ...I lost, but not by that much. This still feels pretty fast'. This part really got me XD
Seems to be the perfect car for a daily driver. Unlike the M4 and C63's harsh ride. Oh, and Audi is way ahead when it comes to technology so that's a thumbs up for me.
"Oh no. I am losing. I lost"
Lmao

Hell yea!
Looks like I'll be back for 720p
Well it is still worth to see it in 360p :)
At least you saved some of the budget with those charity shop chinos he's wearing!
Mat you crack me up everytime ahahaha!
If he hadn't said that it was dubbed I would never notice...
That Dubbing deserves an Oscar.
I know right, LOL
Gowtham Oleti to bad 90% of the people who saw the video probably didnt get ot
He sounded like Stephen Hawking :D
He has a really funny robotic voice 😂
Sounds like a Star Trek voice, although I cant remember which one
This video is a masterpiece
1:55
The seats could do with an extra inch,"story of my life"
Like if this joke didn't pass you😂😂😂
Ian Wachira are you Kenyan?
Rudy Odunge yes I am
Ian Wachira got it 😂
I get so excited when Carwow uploads 😄
James King
same here
It´s because you like the buff look of Mat ;)
Jim Beam
Nah. I'm here for the cars :)
cars and presenter's style
Jim Beam the buff looks are the icing on the cake ;)
"They could go with an extra inch... Story of my life" Hahaha Matt you are a legend😂
Maybe your funniest video so far :D
Nicklas Andersen but it was poor 'clarkson-wannabe' as well...
Nicklas Andersen no its not
Nice nice, very nice.
Bartek M nah I disagree, clarkson is just a complete tosser, matts actually funny, he’s not a toss pot.

In Thailand it is 300,000 pounds. Don't play the pricing game, you'll always lose if a person from Thailand is in the comments section.
Kayra Uzun ı am happy to see a turkish one here:) our condition is so amazing when we compare it with uk
Matte Hong kong is worse on the pricing game 😂
Why do they cost so much tho?
I love my new RS5, added a tune and exhaust and its now a monster.
08:50
"Oh, no.
I am losing."
💀
Best car channel ever. Mat is hilarious, camera and writing on point. Awesome.
Great question about RS5 over S5. The type of question I would ask myself. Excellent comparison in a watchable 10 mins & always good to have the drag races in there too.
"Story of my life" That part made me laugh so much xD
Had lots of Audi’s - but not paying 100k for anything that isn’t an R8
U gonna get a 2018 full spec S5 sportback with 15000km for 35-40k€ in Germany, that is worth it indeed. Gonna call that the deal of my life, absolute dreamcar
No scratches, just as if it just came out of the holy audi works
@@Mrcl5902 auf jeden, dasselbe mit nem S4. Klasse Deals
Love how the RS5 looks, but i'd take the c63s as it has everything combined ( from bmw and audi ) plus the V8 and the 'luxuriousness', perfect car would be the looks of an RS5, engine of c63s and handling of m4
Still the RS5 win the hands down
For 100k you could just get a nearly new R8...
Captive he probably means £100k, not $100k.
Yeah, £100k would get a bloody good R8.
@Kevin For 100k you could get the new shape R8 Performance.
@Kevin nerd
@Captive nerd
"Could do with an extra inch. Story of my life"😂😂😂
your videos make me want my car search to go on forever. LOVE ALL your videos!!!
This guy is the best
You're a lovable goofball with excellent review skills!
A Chris harris for normal cars
Definitely better looking than the BMW or Merc-at least in my eyes. Waiting to pick up my S5 soon😁
Great vid as always
The reviews are getting better and better !!! So entertaining to watch, love it !!!
One of the best videos you done, the honour in your videos makes me watch them, cause I'll never be able to afford half the cars you test drive anyways. Keep them coming
The intro felt like clarkson era top gear :D

i always thought it looks ok on video but yesterday i have seen one (s5 tbh) in real life and its absolutely stunning!
Great Video Matt....Top Gear should sit up and notice!
dude, you crack me up. End up watching way more of this stuff than I ever anticipate. good job
Matt all your videos are good, but this one is particularly great for being funny without that getting in the way of the helpful content.
For me this car looks great. I think not everyone who likes fast cars wants a car which is constantely shouting "Here I am, look at me" like an M4.
This is by far the most funny video from carwow.
Wow, this format is waaay more fun and filled with humor. Please keep it like this :)
If you live outside Germany, the S5 is more than enough for you

With a software upgrade you can have a near RS5 for an S5 price.
@@jwj500True. Harder to do the looks, though. Depending on the car, there are significant geo differences that can get in the way of bolting an RS front and rear clip onto an S.
@@vomErsten Agree.
1:54 "they could do with an extra inch...the story of my life" 😂😂
Lol the voice over thing you did for the s5 reminded me of the chinese kung fu movies with english voice overs hahaha... the lip sinking is bad 😂😂😂
love this sense of humor. so easy to watch this video,especially as i am a fan of AUDI.
When you put them side by side you can tell the RS is in a different league completely, especially the exterior lines and design
First airborne by Mat IN A AUDI!!!
V6 is the RS5 isn't pretty much the same as in the S5. It's a completely new engine developed by Porsche, it pulls like crazy but it's also surprisingly economical. S5 has regular 3.0 TFSI engine from other Audi models.
Well…. Audi/VW/Porsche are always designed by Porsche/VW/Audi.
Both engines were designed by the same group of engineers.
@@adammfharris But still it's a completely different engine. It was actually designed by Porsche engineers which have some autonomy and 'borrowed' by Audi.
Creatieve solution. The broken mic part was hella funny yet still informative. 'O no. I'm losing' lmao
Love your reviews as always! Thanks Matt!
"Story of my life." Love the innuendos Carwow
Anyway I love these video comparisons! keep it up!
Mat, I've only subscribed recently, but I'm already falling in love with your reviews, £100,000?! Why?!...ha ha
100,000 pounds.. whatttttt...
Yathu prem one hundred thousand pounds!! £100,000 100,000 pounds looool
Ikr....R8 or Rs6 money, 911, GTR, M5 etc.
yes, or about 45000kilo!! very heavy car
Unknown Wasteman m5 has over 200 horsepower more, two more doors, and arguably better interior. That's why
BMW M% has 200hp more but acceleration are behind of rs 5
I appreciate your honesty with the dubbing. Some other people should go about it like that!
God, I love this channel!
Love your sense of humour - fantastic!
always enjoy your reviews but this one was particularly entertaining :)
Thanks Carwow and Mat Watson for the RS5 video. Been waiting for this
Oh my God this dub. Literally laughed out loud. haha
This channel was already damn good and entertaining. But it gets even better every day. Gratz, Mat.
Awesome Show or Video,lol!!!! Great humor skits and car performance skits as well a intel
Carwow have the best reviews👍
Ah man that dubbing, so funny, wasn't ready for that. Good work 👍
Hahahaha! Never laughed THIS hard on any of your previous videos (not that they aren't funny enough). This one was awesome Mat! Thanks for the laugh, and the great content of course.
handsome in deed as you trills the audience with your talents to educate about the products..long live Watson Mat
Wow Audi charging £13k for a turbo charger, Shocking
You guys are getting funnier with every upload, keep it up! Entertaining reviews!
Is 1080p optional for extra money? 😄
Love the back voice. You are the best . Love all your work before and now in Carwow

Imo that's a way better way to save the 13k S5 vs RS5 if you don't want to go full out money wise. You can lend my car Matt 😉
Genuinely couldn't even finish the video, the presenter does my head in - is that what humour looks like on TH-cam car videos?
The RS5 B9 looks amazing, whoever specced this one is just a joke...
it seems as though you can get into the S5 for less and essentially get the same platform. Which you can then selectively upgrade as you see fit. Such as a stage 1 tune that would bump the HP up by about 80hp making the gap between the two even less for a very small outlay of cash ($1200)
I’m still loving the c63s it has same quarters time as the rs5 but more power and rolling races and I think it has a nicer interior
The Audi is certainly a superior daily driver though! When it comes to features you want in an all-season everyday car, the RS5 takes the crown... At least in the weather conditions I live in for example.
C63 will get stepped on in drag race
At 8:10,Transition from car to studio was amazing.
2017: Pay extra for 20" wheels because the standard car has smaller ones
2020: Pay extra for wheels because the standard car doesn't come with any
What's wrong with car manufacturers :(
2030 Pay extra for a Seat's because i does not come with any
2040 pay extra for the car
EPIC overdub. Seriously \m/
Laughing my damn ass off at the dubbed part 😂
Loved the apocalypse now reference
Its nice, but it doesn't set my heart on fire
This exactly
Dezz9820 jope
yeah. Everything about this car looks good on paper. But I just cant say I like it.
You should get the Napalm in the morning...
Matt at his everyday best !
8:25 Im dead trololololo ahahahhaa
In the name of all that is good and holy, please do the same video but with an S4/RS4 and S3/RS3!
Title says 13k more for an RS5 but Matt says 30k more in the video??
This is the first time anyone has had this much fun in an audi👌
Give this man an Oscar. That dubbing was superb.
wow this this TOP GEAR LEVEL !! give this guy his own SHOW !!!!
As an Audi fanboy, I'm very very disappointed with what Audi is doing these days. I honestly prefer the C63 AMG so much more. The S5 sportback is a nice option if you want a fast and practical car though.
Parth Awasthi c63 amg had so many problem
RS 5 Sportback will come out soon.
so youre not an audi fanboy then lol
Its because Audi got the short straw after the big Dieselgate scandal and financial losses.
Buddy your compare is a bit funny, you are saying that C63 is way more better, then take the RS6 or RS7 and well see after which one is better.
The YUMP shows its a perfectly balanced car!!! INCREDIBLE
1.55 😂 story of my life
Best video to date... And the humor! Loving the humor!!!!
so early only 360p is here
lol thought something was wrong with my internet
marko0227 well... It's still 360p😂
Still 360p
still 360p
Still 360

Thanks for your response. I think the F-type V 6s AWD coupe is calling - it gives me an instant grin though it is much more of a cockpit inside.

山内淳カイル c63 harsh ride ? not the c63 I've test driven. it was great in comfort mode
Ive driven both m3 and c63 and neither was harsh lol u must be have some issues with ur body if u cant handle that ride
That dubbing from 8:20 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rs5 looks the best.
Kristoper P
imo I prefer the S5 as it's less gaudy and more dignified
It might look great but it only has a v6.
The Rob’s summary is the best!:)
Here’s a difference:
“I’m driving Audi S5”
“I’m driving Audi RS5”
Say that couple of times...
Yeah. I’d only fuck the guy who drives the RS5
RS does feel better
MrGamePlays I’m a female
