Can’t decide what’s best: the car or the setting

Whoever said winter is about shovelling snow and frozen hands hasn’t seen this Audi RS5 coupé testing its ability to dash through the snow.

Sure, one of the aces up its sleeve is Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive responsible for channelling 450 PS (444 hp) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of twist to all four corners.

By the looks of it, the fact that Audi decided to drop two cylinders and fit the new RS5 with a 2.9-liter V6 – the previous RS5, as most of you know, was a V8 – didn’t affect the car’s acoustic credentials.

It can also sprint this one, although the panorama in the video isn’t quite suitable for this kind of fun. Audi says the new RS5 clears the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) interval in 3.9 seconds and then it runs some more to a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph).

As it’s not in our nature to spoil your viewing pleasure, we’ve dropped the video below. You’re welcome.
