Audi has announced pricing details for the 2013 RS5 Cabriolet which starts at $77,900 in the United States.
Set to go on sale next month, the convertible is powered by a 4.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine that produces 450 hp at 8,250 rpm and 430 Nm of torque between 4,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm. Equipped with a seven-speed double-clutch S tronic transmission with launch control and standard quattro all-wheel drive, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and hit an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h. In terms of efficiency, it returns an EPA-estimated 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 18 mpg combined.
Customers looking to achieve superior braking performance can select ceramic brakes for the front rotors, a standalone package priced at $6,000. While driving at speeds of up to 30 mph (48 km/h), the soft top can be opened and closed automatically in 15 seconds and 17 seconds, respectively.
