The RS 5 Coupé is one of those Audis that needs no introduction: the fastback silhouette, the wide wheel arches and that solid red that stops anyone who knows what they're looking at. Burago captures it in 1/24 scale with diecast construction, official licence and a level of features that goes well beyond what you'd expect at this price point.
Diecast with more movement than it looks
Reference 21090 comes with opening doors, a functional bonnet revealing a visible engine, rolling wheels and working steering. This is not a sealed model: it has life when you handle it, and that changes the experience both on display and when you take it out to show it off. The pad-printed solid red finish keeps the German coupé's lines clean, with no decals or liveries to distract from the shape.
Scale, size and presence in a collection
At 1/24, the RS 5 measures around 20 cm in length, giving it real presence without dominating the entire shelf. It is a very rewarding scale for cars of this generation: enough to appreciate the engine detail, enough for the red to breathe well alongside other German sports cars. If you have a line of modern Audis or a selection of recent European GTs, this coupé slots in without forcing anything.
A road car built for collecting
The 2019 RS 5 Coupé marks a specific moment in the evolution of the Audi sports car: more torque, more efficiency, same attitude. In a display of modern cars, the solid red puts it front and centre without needing to compete with bold liveries. It is one of those pieces that rewards the more you know what you are looking at.
