Why is the Audi RS 5 such a
perfect match for you?
Because it adjusts so well to
your requirements.
Audi drive select.

Through your own individual configuration of the
Audi drive select, which is fitted as standard, you
can create your own personal driving experience
at the touch of a button. As sporty as you want
it to be. In general, you can configure the accel-
erator characteristics, the exhaust flap control,
the transmission mode, as well as the steering
torque of servotronic. Three different modes
are available with which these components are
adjusted to the respective driving situation. The
auto mode is effectively the “factory setting” that
defines the Audi RS 5 as commandingly sporty.
The comfort mode is particularly suitable for
long distance driving, while the dynamic mode
is designed for ambitious driving. If the optional
MMI® navigation system is also fitted, an ad-
ditional individual mode is available. This mode
allows you yourself to specify how the aforemen-
tioned vehicle components should be configured.
Various optional systems can be influenced
by drive select as well as the standard vehicle
functions. With the optional sports suspension
plus with Dynamic Ride Control you can vary the
characteristics of the shock absorbers; from the
smooth rolling motion in comfort mode all the
way up to the sporty, direct responsiveness in the
dynamic mode; it offers a huge range and is suit-
able for every road.
If you have selected to enhance your Audi RS 5
with the quattro® with sport differential, the
driving forces are additionally steplessly distrib-
uted between the rear wheels not only when the
vehicle is under load but also when it is decelerat-
ing or coasting. This torque intervention enables
the car’s self-steer properties to be influenced
in a targeted manner. This increases the vehicle
agility further in many driving situations.
Drive select can also control the optional dynamic
steering. Your steering ratio and assistance vary
depending on vehicle speed and which drive se-
lect mode has been selected. The ratio is direct
when parking and indirect at higher speeds to
make it easier for you to control the vehicle.
