The back of the vehicle also resembles the Tailgater but with a sporty twist: twin double-exit exhausts are positioned beneath a prominent splitter, and a subtle, upward-swept ducktail-like feature graces the rear boot lid. Drawing inspiration from models like the 9F and Tailgater, it incorporates modern elements, such as fully LED headlights.
The car boasts a sleek, sporty 2-door coupe design enhanced with various aftermarket parts in its original state, including a front splitter and rear diffuser.
However, the 2018-present RS5 coupe does not have connected tail lights, with it taking some inspiration from the 2014 Audi TT Sportback Concept. The taillights are heavily inspired by the second-gen RS5 coupe. The rear exhaust and bumpers are also very similar to the M4 CS. The side profile resembles the BMW M4 CS (F82) with a character line running from the rear taillight housing to a vertical side vent just behind the front wheel. The main grille and front bumper are inspired by the ones found on the 2015-2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, while the headlights resemble the Ford Falcon (FG X). The overall body shape is very sleek, creating a low profile for the vehicle. The 8F Drafter's design is likely inspired by the 2018 Audi RS5 Coupe. The 8F Drafter was released as part of The Diamond Casino & Resort update.
