This is enough for a 0-100kmh time of a touch under 5 seconds with a governed top speed of 250kmh. The exhaust note is music to the ears and it is surprisingly economical as well.
S5 models have a fast shift 8 speed tiptronic transmission and Audi quattro system with a lockable centre diff. S-specific sport suspension with adaptive damper control ensures superb ride and dynamics as you would expect. It’s a pure delight to drive.
The interior matches the performance with upgraded infotainment connectivity and Audi virtual cockpit amongst a long list of features. Special mention goes to the stunningly good LED matrix lighting system.
Pricing for the S5 Coupe starts from $106,500 plus the usual costs
