Default I broke it...2019 RS5 SB Down for the count!

Got on the fwy today as usual, floored it to take my rightful spot among the flowing traffic and NOTHING! Thought I was in some weird eco mode but no, I was in dynamic and sport yet no throttle response. While driving I floored it again and while the RPMs increased the cars speed did not.

The only bright side is that my dealer is 4 exits away from where I get on so dropped it off. They said they don’t know what’s wrong as there are no codes and are waiting to hear back from Audi Corporate. FML

p.s. The 2019 A7 is nice...but so boring compared to my RS5!

Whatever it is it sounds like a major repair.

Why a "major repair"?

Looks like it does not like your driving style.

It's a new hidden sense not listed in DAP.

Let me get some popcorn going for the discussion about the "dead throttle" that doesn't exist.

Sympathies to the latest victim of "transmissiongate".

How can you read that post and conclude that this problem is caused by throttle lag?

I would bet this turns out to be another valve body failure or ECM / programing problem which is one of the root causes of throttle lag.

Possibly throttle body but no evidence of an ECM problem.
