The RS 5 Sportback might seem like overkill if you've driven the swift and capable S5 Sportback, but for some, the prospect of having another 100-ish horses in the stable will be too alluring to turn down. Per usual for Audi's RS cars (which are analogous to BMW's M cars), the full treatment here includes unique body panels as well as wider tracks front and rear.
