Congratulations on pulling the trigger ! Seems like it was a pretty straight forward, easy decision lol

 

The RS5 would definitely be an extremely tough choice for me. As soon as you throw the RS' into the game, I get real squirmish lol

 

Congrats on ordering the Q60! IMO, the infiniti front grille looks better than the Audi's signature beefy grille anyways.

 

Congrats man. I traded in a 2018 S5 Prestige Sportback for my Q60 RS AWD. Literally the only things I miss are the virtual cockpit and center armrest volume/media controller. That car felt like a zombie and aside from piggybacks, nobody has cracked the ECU so forget the customary massive gains you'd typically get with F/I Audis.

For the price of a single mid grade B9 S5 CB exhaust you get FBO on this platform hah. Man I'm so glad that car is gone

 

Yeah the S5 is a nice car, but its hard to beat the q60 bang per buck with the massive discounts and aggressive leases. I also heard Audi is pretty nazi with mods, voiding warranties in the system if they catch you with any mods.

 

i just bought a 2018 S5 stretch back. paperwork with car “claims” 4.3 0-60. I am a little skeptical pure stock.

 

twin turbo v6 with a zf transmission, i believe it. The germans are usually pretty conservative with their numbers

 

Yeah I test drove an S5 before I bought my Q60 RS and thought it felt sluggish but that was a 2017. According to Zero to Sixty the 2018 S5 comes in at 4.3 while their quarter mile test comes in at 13 seconds. THus faster then the earlier models.

Fine Vehicle, loved the seats and their range of flexibility, put shied away due to longevity and costly repairs after 4 plus years of ownership.

I just got a 2018 audi s5 and it IS quick. But nothing like my modded Q60. 4.3? if they say so but not in my butt dyno.

 

I'm with you man, my 18 S5's throttle response (even in sport mode) was pretty horrid. I felt like the car was an audi masterstroke from a balance standpoint but any S trim shouldn't be that balanced. They should have put the twin from the RS5 in it and simply detuned it for the S. I do like the hot-v engine design w/ the turbo on top but without proper tuning support it doesn't matter. Folks like APR are rightfully focusing on the low 10 second FBO & tune RS3.

 

i liked their supercharged v6 better. It felt like a big v8 with the instant response and tq everywhere.

 

I own a FBO Tuned Q60 and drove S5 (2019) stock.
I guess the S5 interior is super nice that's it.
Engine wise and exterior look + sound (FI CBE+LDP) exhaust is by far better than the S5.

Also the Q60 stands out more when it comes to people looking at the car in the street.

The S5 is nice though but hard to move from Q60 to S5 imo. Not much juice there.
