Audi has released the starting price for the all-new 2013 RS 5 Cabriolet just in time for top-down driving weather.
Starting at $77,900, the RS 5 gets Audi’s 4.2-liter V-8 making 450 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 317 lb-ft. of torque between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. Power is routed to all four wheels via a 7-speed double clutch automatic transmission. Zero to 60 comes in 4.9 seconds and V-Max is 174 mph.
Although the track stats are impressive, the RS 5 is more at home on a canyon road or beachside boulevard. In just 15 seconds the power-folding top folds nicely into the trunk – only taking up 2.12 cu-ft. of its 13.42 cu-ft. truck volume. In another 17 seconds, the top can be unfolded and secured into place with the push of a button.
The 2013 Audi RS5 Cabriolet will go on sale in April 2013.
