The Audi RS 5 chooses Morocco to test its 639 electrified horsepower

On the asphalt of the Marrakech circuit, the new RS 5 has put its agility to the test through slaloms and drift zones. Equipped with a biturbo V6 coupled with an electric motor, the sports car develops a torque of 825 Nm. This power is managed by a new quattro transmission, offering surgical precision even during rapid load changes.

Rolf Michl, CEO of Audi Sport, emphasizes the technological advancement of the project: "The new RS 5 sets new standards and demonstrates the potential of its plug-in hybrid powertrain. The result is a car that drives with more precision and stability while remaining agile and light."

The test continued on the steep switchbacks of the Atlas, where the RS sport suspension absorbed the irregularities of the rocky terrain. The double-valve shock absorbers significantly reduce roll, allowing absolute control in tight mountain passes. In electric mode, the vehicle crosses the mountain villages in silence before unleashing all its energy on the difficult climbs.

For Gernot Döllner, CEO of Audi, "true innovation is not proven on a test bench but on the roads of the world," confirming the model’s reliability in the face of Moroccan dust and terrain.
