Following up on the world premiere of thehandsome looking RS5 Cabriolet at the Paris Motor Show and in advance of the beginning of sales early next year on both sides of the Atlantic, Audi has dropped a sea of images together with a new video showing its fastest four-seater convertible on the road.Like its coupe counterpart, the RS5 Cabriolet adopts Audi's naturally-aspirated and high-revving 4.2-liter V8 that's good for 444hp (450PS) at 8,250 rpm and 430Nm (318 lb-ft) of peak torque delivered between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm.
There's no manual gearbox option as Audi will offer the RS5 Cabriolet exclusively with the seven-speed S tronic, linked, of course, to its quattro permanent all-wheel drive system featuring the self-locking crown-gear center differential and torque vectoring.
As an option, buyers will be able to fit the car with a sport differential for the rear axle, which actively distributes power between the wheels.
The Ingolstadt brand says the open-top model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.9 seconds and tops out at 250km/h (155mph) with the electronic speed limiter, though, upon request, Audi can lift the limit to 280 km/h (174 mph).
The combined fuel consumption of the V8 model is 10.7 liters per 100 km (21.98 US mpg).
In Germany, the new RS5 Cabriolet will cost €88,500 or about US$114,500 at today's currency rates. Audi has already confirmed the availability of the car in the States for next year, but has not yet announced pricing.
However, being that the RS5 Coupe is significantly cheaper in the U.S. at $68,900 (€53,300) excluding delivery and taxes, versus the car's €78,200 ($101,200) price tag in Germany, we expect the Cabriolet to retail for around $80,000.
