2013 Audi RS 5
The Story
The b8.5 Audi RS5 is the last Audi equipped with their 4.2L naturally aspirated V8, revving up to 8250 rpm from factory. I found this example in the summer of 2020 with Phantom Black Pearl exterior and lunar silver leather interior, I couldn't say no. This Audi represents to me the last of the old-school V8s that came out of Quattro GmbH, competing with the likes of the E92 M3 and W204 C63 AMG.
Initially I bought this car to just satisfy a dream of owning a mid-2010s era Audi RS product, but what I've found is a vibrant community of VW-Audi enthusiasts filled with different stories, builds, and friends. I like to have fun with my build, and I love cars that reflect owners' personalities.
If you're curious about my instagram name, it is derived from this equation:
