A5
Rarely does one get to step back from the practicality and market demands of the automotive industry to create something purely out of passion and desire. It is a realm typically reserved for artists. And a method that has resulted in another milestone in our celebrated history: the all-new Audi A5. A performance coupe that defies the strict rules governed by the conventional world of two-door design. Available early 2008
Performance:
- Engine. The experience begins with a powerful V6 that boldly produces 265hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. Meticulous weight-distribution allows the aggressive design to take full advantage of the dynamic engine characteristics.
- Suspension. To keep this unbridled power under complete control, we offer the predictable yet exhilarating handling dynamics of quattro (R) all-wheel drive. This proprietary handling technology offers an unparalleled sport-tuned suspension mated to progressive chassis design. A long 108.3in wheelbase helps provide direct feedback to your most aggressive steering demands.
- Transmission. At the center of the Audi A5 is the initial 6-speed manual transmission to take advantage of the car's sporty handling and aggressive driving dynamics.
Design: Dreams become lofty concepts. Lofty concepts turn into detailed sketches. Detailed sketches become exquisite models. Exquisite models become pure automotive sculptures. All proving that if we can dream it, we can build it. The result is a car where form blends harmoniously with function. When that function is raw power and clairvoyant handling, it is only natural the form be equally as titillating.
- Exterior Design. The flowing lines and aggressive stance stir the emotions and summons your passion for remarkable automotive design. Then it happens. You fall in love at first glance. Upon closer inspection, you begin to witness years of innovative design deceptively hid behind a sleek, single frame grill, nestled behind the jeweled LED-styled tail lights and residing in every gleam of light emanating from the 18" aluminum wheels. It is a love affair that goes far beyond reason and propriety. The makings of which can only be described as true love.
- Dimensions
- Wheelbase: 108.3"
- Overall length: 182"
- Overall width: 73"
- Overall height: 54.1"
- Interior Design. A quick glance behind the sleek exterior curtain will open you to a world of Audi innovation and progressive interior design. 2+2 Coupe seating embraces driver and passenger while aluminum optic air vents supply 3-zone air conditioning to coddle the senses. An available MMI interface provides the driver with one-finger access to a symphony powered by a Bang & Olfusen sound system, a smarter navigation system and even the nearest 4-star hotel. Decades of driver feedback and luxurious influence are to be found in every cabin detail and behind every smile on its occupants.
Technology:
- FSI (R). Since 2001, Audi has dominated with FSI (R) technology at Le Mans. This paid off with an unbroken string of victories until an Audi TDI engine picked up the baton in 2006. With FSI (R), the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber, which in turn boosts combustion efficiency and engine performance.
- Audi MMI. Simple. Elegant. Intuitive. These words perfectly describe the innovative Audi MMI (Multi-Media Interface) system. The simple terminal distills advanced technology into a natural easy-to-use interface. MMI connects you with every advanced system of the Audi A5, making a remarkable vehicle an intuitive extension of yourself.
- Advanced parking system. Using ultrasonic sensors to measure distance, Parktronic emits an intermittent warning tone to indicate how far the car is from an obstacle. A rear view camera displays in your A5's MMI screen for even more sophistication and easier parking.
- Bang & Olufsen (R) Sound System. 12-speaker sound system with 465 digitally amplified watts. Microphone-based noise compensation ensures optimum sound under varying road conditions and speeds.
S5
Practicality and convention often dictate restraint in automotive design. Amongst the exclusive raw materials and months of calibrating and tweaking lies a passion for human propulsion. A passion that turns our inspired ideas into Audi cars. A passion cultivated in every corner of our being to produce such stunning examples of automotive ingenuity like the all-new Audi S5. A performance coupe that speaks volumes about our determination to build a true sport driver's car. Pricing available September 2007

Safety: Audi engineers are committed to providing safe vehicles. While the S-series cars are long on performance, it doesn't mean they are short on safety and they offer comprehensive protection for every conceivable safety situation.
- Brake System. Front and rear ventilated disc brakes provide brake power consistent with driving performance. The power of the S6 is also restrained with a four-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake pressure Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, a system which automatically senses emergency braking and applies maximum available power boost to reduce overall stopping distance.
- quattro (R). Enhanced driving dynamics, optimum traction, excellent agility and responsiveness and improved safety. What is new in the Audi S6 is an asymmetric, dynamic torque split. If required, an integrated Torsen center differential distributes the output in the ratio of 40:60 between the front and rear axle.
- Airbags. An array of airbags in the S6 - driver, passenger and front side (plus optional rear side), together with front seat belt pre-tensioners, mean that in the event of a collision you are as protected as possible.
- 3-point seat belts. A handy reminder automatically activates to ensure you never forget to put on your seat belt. In addition, active head restraints, belt-force limiters and belt tensioners are integrated into the front seats.
