Audi A5 And S5 Coupe

Audi has unveiled the first images of its emotionally charged A5 Coupe.

The new Audi A5 successfully unites the acclaimed Audi design language with thrilling dynamic driving performance, and combines generous refinement with the brand's characteristic quality and sophistication. Its progressive design gives the new coupé an appearance that is both elegant and dynamic.

Potent FSI and TDI engines will be available, mated to completely new high-precision running gear, and a raft of innovative, luxury-class equipment features. The Audi A5 has been crafted as a modern grand tourer, a touring coupé in the best tradition.

The Audi S5 is an extra sporty offering to complete the new series. A powerful V8 FSI engine gives the S5 a dynamic edge, which underscores its athletically accentuated design.

The Nuvolari quattro concept car of 2003 gave a first taste of Audi's vision for a powerful and expertly styled coupé with a high performance potential and a progressive, sophisticated design – a bold step into the future.

Many elements from the Nuvolari have been adopted in the Audi A5. The new coupé is a clear and unique statement of sportiness and elegance. At the same time, the A5 offers a driving experience characterised by exhilarating dynamic performance and excellent comfort over long distances.

With a length of 4.63 m, the Audi A5 clearly belongs to a superior class of coupé. Four comfortable seats and a load volume of 455 litres make this car a comfortable long-distance tourer.

The engines' power can be transmitted by either front-wheel drive or quattro four-wheel drive and a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The running gear developed for the A5 is entirely new and combines agile handling with the utmost driving safety.

The new Audi A5 is expected to arrive in Australia by the 4th quarter of 2007.
