These long, gently curving and pencil-straight stretches of German highways are the last bastion for drivers to flex their figurative muscle and courage, directly proportional to the angle of their right feet. It’s what Wyoming should be like if it really took that libertarian thing to heart. The 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback is a wonderful laissez-faire missile, the right car for the left lane of the Autobahn. The new RS 5 Sportback is virtually identical to the RS 5 coupe already on sale...
