A completely new product, the Audi S5 is the top of the 5 Series, a brandname new variety which is done with the A5 designs. All look virtually identical, and offer good performance in a neat package. Stiff opposition for the BMW 3 series car, but can it compete with the BMW 650i, Jaguar XK or Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG? Probably.

In any event, the Audi S5 is really a sleek looking car, with a front end reminiscent of the R8, and a semi-fastback roof line, and only visible taken lines up and over the front and rear wheels. It's an intelligent looking car, and one which may merge well at the nation club. Like virtually all Audi designs, the S5 and A5 are wise, well-balanced designs with some cool features, but there's nothing shocking, nothing very interesting about the shape.

V-8 energy, 354 bhp

But think about performance? Well, Audi has chosen its V-8 to give enough power to see off several rivals, though this is not probably the most effective version of this excellent engine. For the S5 it's rated at 354 bhp at 7,000 rpm, with 325 pound ft (440 Nm) torque at 3,500 rpm, against the 420 bhp of the RS4.

While top speed is bound to 155 mph, so it's not as quickly as it may be, but nonetheless packs lots of oomph, using the S5 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, which is true supercar place. It is really put by this up with some heavy metal and rock, while it is nowhere as quick whilst the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG, which includes 480 bhp on tap from the substantial 6.2 liter engine.

On one other hand, the straightline efficiency of the Audi A5 is slightly a lot better than that of the BMW 650i and Jaguar XK, and up there with the kind of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Porsche 911 Carrera.

The V-8 is coupled to a six-speed information field in the S5. More essential, Audi has adopted a front:rear torque split of 40:60% for the center differential. Which means that in the normal state the automobile won't understeer strongly just like the front-biased split of some Audi quattros. What this means is the vehicle can handle nearer neutral, that is good.

Also new is the double-wishbone front suspension and trapezoidal multi-link rear suspension that'll ensure good tracking and handling.
