Introducing the all-new Audi A5 and S5. Beyond sensory indulgence,sensory overload. Daring and dynamic. Elegant and eager to run. Anywhere,anytime – thanks to legendary quattro® all-wheel drive. The A5 sportsa 265 hp 3.2 V6 coupled to a six-speed manual. Under the hood of the S5,a 354 hp 4.2 V8 mated to a six-speed manual. Both with FSI® Direct Injectionfor more effective, efficient power.
There’s no denying the emotionalappeal of a two-doored machine fromAudi. From the Ur quattro to the Nuvolariconcept car to this, unbridled passiontempered with unquenchable grace. Acertain tension – its lines and surfacesconduct a deliberate interplay betweenlight and shadow. From the forwardthrust of its single-frame grille flankedby piercing headlights and underscored by its optional LED daytime runninglights to its subtle spoiler, a palpableflow. And thanks to its new modularchassis, shorter overhangs, a longerwheelbase and the lowest, widest stancein its class. Beyond first-class ridecomfort, outstanding directional stability,precise feedback and uncanny agility.The all-new A5 takes lightweight body construction to new heights byusing tailored blanks with varying wallthicknesses. Combine that construction with outstanding torsional rigidity and you have everything you need for effortless long-distance comfort as well as dynamic performance.
Yes, the mirror is a work of art. But digdeeper. Note how we again use lightto highlight purpose. Check out the gap tolerances of every panel. How aluminum trim is seamlessly integrated into the body.View the A5 from all angles. Every line stretched and honed with both precision and passion. Feel the liquid smoothness of the paint. (Water-based, of course, for environmental compatibility.) You don’t have to be a student of design to appreciate the way the car’s A-pillarf lows into its C-pillar. Its creator called it the most beautiful car he ever designed.
Opting for Bi-xenon and adaptive headlights combine slight-up-the-night intensity with the dynamic ability to help you see what’s around the next corner. We underscore the headlights with optional LED daytime running lights. A leader in LED lighting, Audi seeks to expand light’s possibilities at every turn. A word or two about LED technology. Brighter, quicker tofire than conventional bulbs, LED lights also last longer and consume less energy.The face of the all-new A5 can be summed up in one word. Determined. And note the bold grille. Both the headlights and the air inlets serve to amplify the width of the car. It’s been described as a contained, barely controlled fury. Beautiful to besure. But with a bit of the beast.The expansive rear lights emphasize the width and the solidity of the A5. Form and function in exquisite harmony.
There is a positively tactile experience awaiting the A5 owner. Every dial, every control, an ergonomic masterpiece. From an optional keyless start/stop button to an electromechanical parking brake to the optimized position of the MMI® screen to three-zone climate controls, pilot nirvana. The widely praised MMI operating system has been further scrutinized and refined. Now take a moment to examine how everything in the car serves to underscore its width. The teardrop gauges. The center console. Even the air vents seem to reach for more.The A5 recognizes the importance of sound. Not just the sound of the engine under full throttle. But the sound that makes miles go by more swiftly.The A5 benefits from our growing collaboration with Bang & Olufsen.®With 14 speakers, 505 watts, surround sound and noise-compensation technology, this option promises acoustic pleasure on an unprecedented scale.Add optional Bluetooth® or Navigation with Audi music interface for seamless iPod® integration and you’ll understand that time isn’t just well spent in here. It’s invested.
Take a good long look. Starting with the grille. Note the interplay of platinum gray and its vertically integrated brilliant grille inlays. The aluminum-look exterior mirrors. The oval tailpipes.The pronounced, yet subtle, spoiler. The flared wheel arches. The way it all comes together as one machine with a singular intent. The facts do indeed hint at extraordinary potential: A 354 hp V8 with FSI Direct Injection. Rear-biased quattro all-wheel drive. Massive multi-piston brakes with black S5 calipers. New sport suspension in the front as well as the rear. But then you dig deeper.With its new modular architecture, engineers were able to position the engine farther behind the front axle. A near perfect balance. Then we add nuance to the equation. A new Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) with two-stage deactivation originally developed for the RS 4. Other options include side assist* and the Audi parking system advanced, complete with rearview camera. We could go on and on. And you will. |
