New Audi A5 and S5, many photos Options

[saleeka]

Out of all the new GT coupes that we have seen lately, this one gets my heart beating Think the next A4 platform, but Coupe

Audi A5














Audi S5
















Expected U.S. models include a new 3.1 FSI V6 with 260 HP as the sole A5 offering, and a 4.2 FSI V8 with 354 HP found in current A8's for the S5, with 6 speed manual tranny :-) Rumor has sequential manuals in the works and an RS5 varaiant with the RS4's 4.2 420 HP FSI V8, along with stablemate cabriolets and a "spaceback" 5 door on the way.

if it weren't for the 3-series, audi would be under no pressure to make this car, presumably to avoid stepping on the entry-level porsches (mostly the cayman).

i'd venture a guess that the a5 is going to be 35-40k and the s5 45-50k.

beautiful car, though. i didn't care for the latest audi design language, but it's grown on me so much that i actually prefer them to the newer bmw cars.

if this thing performs half as well as it looks, bmw will certainly feel the heat.
