Audi has taken the wraps off the 2020 edition of its performance-oriented car, the RS5.
The new variant, which is available in both Coupe and Sportback forms, comes with several styling as well as interior updates. However, mechanically, it remains same as the outgoing model.

Moreover, it promises a top-speed of 280kmph and can accelerate from 0-100kmph in 3.9 seconds.
Information
Will it come to India?
The 2020 RS5 will reportedly go on sale in European markets soon. There is no word on its India availability yet. However, considering that the company sells the RS5 in India, we expect the facelifted model to hit our shores in the near future.
