For the 2013 DTM season, the Audi A5 changed its name and for marketing reasons it was registered as an RS5. The characteristics of the car did not change: 4-liter V8 engine for 460 horsepower, 6-speed manual gearbox, weight (including driver) of 1100kg, 18-inch wheels. The season was extremely positive for Audi: already in the penultimate race Mike Rockenfeller was mathematically DTM champion.
