Audi S5

Saw one of these outside an audi dealership today when I was working.









Reminded me of the 335 but to me it looks better. It really is a beautiful car in person. I don't know the specs yet.

That's NICE!!! I'd like to know the specs on that, too. I definitely don't want to know the price tag.

Engine
The experience begins with a powerful V8 FSI engine, which boldly produces 354 hp and 325lb-ft of torque. Meticulous weight-distribution allows the aggressive design to take full advantage of the dynamic engine characteristics.

Transmission
At the center of the Audi S5 is a 6-speed manual transmission to take advantage of the car’s sporty handling and aggressive driving dynamics.Tiptronic automatic transmission available in Spring 2008.

quattro®

Audi’s legendary all-wheel drive system provides increased traction on all road surfaces. Rear-heel drive for agility, excellent acceleration, superb stability without sacrificing one bit of the high level of active safety with which quattro® has become synonymous.

Suspension
To keep this unbridled power under complete control, we offer the predictable yet exhilarating handling dynamics with a new five-link front suspension and trapezoidal-link rear suspension. This unique design, coupled with optimized weight distribution, provides sporty handling and outstanding agility. It is a more sport-tuned suspension calibration than the A5.
