A standard Audi RS5 is powered by a turbocharged V8 engine with a total output of 450 HP at 8250 rpm and 317 lb-ft of torque between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. That’s quite impressive for a luxury sports coupe, but apparently not impressive enough for German tuner, Senner, who believed that the car could do much better than that. So, with a new valve-controlled stainless steel exhaust system and adjusted zero-pressure monitoring, the output has been increased to 506 HP and 478 NM of torque. With these new numbers the RS5 will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, while top speed has been increased to 173 mph. Next to the engine upgrade, the tuner is also offering a new Bilstein coilover kit, called the B16 PSS10, that allows for 10-stage adjustable damping, shiny black 245 carbon fabric, additional front grille, and window frames in the Black Edition. The package is finished by a new set of 20" wheels painted in diamond black polish. Press release after the jump. Press release The experienced team of the Senner Tuning AG Company from Ingelheim willingly undertakes any possible challenges. This time it was an Audi RS5 again - undertake a great power increase - the most powerful versionof the model. And as Benno Senner never leaves things to chance, there was not an unexpected result.  The Bilstein coilover kit, called B16 PSS10, allows for 10-stage adjustable damping in both the compression and rebound cycles. For the demonstration purposes, different left and right rims of the vehicle were coated with respective coating: diamond black polish in dimensions of 9.5 x 20 inch at the front and 11x20-inch at the rear. Driver side spider SC1 and passenger side Varianza T1S admire everyone with the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta (XL) front 255/30R20 and rear 295/25R20 wheels.  In a kind of elegance, the outer shell of the Audi features mirrors in shiny black 245 carbon fabric, additional front grille and window framesin the Black Edition. With regard to the electronics, it should be mentioned a power converter for amplifying the electronic gas signal andthe possibility of DVD-activation while driving. In addition, optional carbon fiber and custom leather trim are available on request. 17 comments: Audi RS5 by Senner As what I’ve expected with Audi. Well, sometimes it is so tiring to see a luxury sedan. Anyway, I’m glad that it had a nice and impressive engine output which could give a great speed on it.
 Too black, that’s why I can’t see the beauty that this RS5 had but still impressive for it had the look of a sophisticated and a classy car.
 Looks like their RS4 Avant, only their color is the difference but it is still impressive and amazing for me. Well, the exterior design is simple but very appealing.
 Sorry for my ignorance but does the Audi comes up in any matte color? I think this car would be more beautiful if they made a better paint job. But like the usual Audi has an amazing design.
 You guys are joking if you think Audi has poor "build quality". Reliability did used to be an issue though. That seems to be changing.
 Audi should produce the Quattro concept from the Paris show.... a light version of the RS5.Take out some of the luxury and add more aluminum... that and add a 6speed manual...and the car would be a classic like the original.
 They lowered it and put rims on it. Wow, this company means business. Seriously, intake, header, exhaust could have achieved the same performance increase.
 This version of the 4.2 is already almost maxed out from the factory. That this tuning company is able to squeeze out more than 50hp from the N/A 4.2 without tearing apart the engine or adding any means of forced induction is rather fascinating.
 fascinating, hardly. A turbo or SC could do much better. Also, they are taking 0.1 off the sprint and that is the only figure we have.
