Audi's sporty RS5 gets two more doors and more power. And we love it!

-  Janak Sorap

GREEN GOBLIN

If I had to pick one car from the Audi stable that I'd want to own someday, it'd be the S5 Sportback. Back in 2018, I had that sleeper sedan for enough time to have practically lived with it, and it was the exact manifestation of what I enjoy the most in a car - handling. And all of it was down to the quattro system that I got to experience in all its glory. Previously, I'd also driven the RS5 Coupe, but despite the extra power and all the grip at its disposal, it didn't really do it for me. The sole reason for that was the ride quality, as one could feel each and every pebble cut through the seat even in the plushest suspension setting.

The reason I have mentioned all of the above is because the RS5 you see here, gleaming in that beautiful Sonoma Green, is no longer a two-door coupe but a four-door Sportback. To make sense of it, this makes the RS5 Sportback a faster and sportier version of the S5 Sportback. And that is exactly how it turned out, a heightened experience with more power, more electronics to exploit that, and complete with a more aggressive design.

HISTORY CHANNEL

When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
