Carrera Digital 124 Audi RS5 DTM 'Audi Sport Team Rosberg - Rene Rast'
Item No.: 23847
The second large-scale DTM model
Technical data:
Weight (complete vehicle with magnets): 243 grams
Weight (body): 67 grams
Length including spoiler: 213 mm
Wheelbase: 115 mm
Track width (front axle): 80 mm
Track width (rear axle): 80 mm
Model description:
As can be seen from the part numbers, the full-scale Audi RS5 DTM was likely decided upon at the same time as the Mercedes C63 DTM, which was released in 2017. However, the design selection was dispensed with. The choice fell on Rene Rast's championship-winning car, and the classic car in the "Red Bull" livery, driven by Mattias Ekström, was chosen. And instead of a lot of words, just let Mike's pictures sink in.
From a technical perspective, there's relatively little to report; the chassis looks uncannily similar to that of the Mercedes C63 DTM. Compared to the latter, the Audi weighs 3 grams more and is also a fraction longer. However, both factors play a minor role in practice.
Driving test:
For this, I remove all the magnets as usual; after a short break-in period, the original tires provide sufficient grip even for this type of operation. The handling is practically identical to the Mercedes C63 DTM – the length matters. Hectic load changes or sudden departures are completely foreign to the model, and the lap times also correspond on average to what the Mercedes achieves on the track. All in all, the conditions are ideal for a balanced competition.
