Audi '5' series breathes new life into the coupe market
from Audi

Audi is launching a fascinating new model series for its entry into an emotionally charged segment of the market.

The A5’s progressive design gives the new coupe an appearance that is both elegant and dynamic.

With its muscular FSI engine, its newly developed high-precision running gear and a raft of innovative, luxury-class equipment features, the A5 has been crafted to be a modern grand tourer in the best tradition.

The Audi S5 is an extra-sporty offering to complete the new series. A powerful V-8 FSI engine gives the S5 a dynamic edge that underscores its athletic design.

The engine’s power can be transmitted by either front-wheel drive or quattro four-wheel drive and a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.

For coupe buyers, emotion plays a major role in their choice of car. For many, the most important reason to buy a sporty two-door is the design. On that point, the A5 takes Audi’s progressive and stylish design language to new heights.

“The Audi A5 is the most beautiful car I have ever designed,” said Walter de’Silva, head of Volkswagen Group Design.

The A5’s generosity to its driver and passengers begins with luxurious spaciousness.

It also is characterized by comprehensive standard equipment, including 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, the MMI information and operating system, an audio system with a CD player and separate screen, and an automatically opening boot lid.

The extra-large panoramic tilting roof lends the A5 a generous feeling of open space. The Audi advanced parking system features a rearview camera.
