New RS5 is a great road car, not a good track car due to the well known Audi understeer/oversteer. (You don't put the engine where they usually put it without some consequences on track.)
It is all what you prefer, which is why I ignore car magazines when they do these comparisons because in the real life world, numbers matter very little. I have a preference for BMWs but for my next car I want to have something that isn't a BMW for once, which is why I'm aiming at Benz and Audi.

Yes, really. Unless they all have the exact same #s in every performance category, one will be a better performer than the others. Goes for every other car vs its competition too.
