New Audi S5 Coupé

The Audi S5 Coupé is a sporty car that finds the perfect balance between speed, handling and comfort.

Classic design

Whilst the new Audi S5 Coupé is still a subtly designed car, there's no question that it gives away a bit more of its sporting prowess from the first glance than some of the other models in the German manufacturer's range. For a start, the S5 Coupé's bodywork comes streaked with beautiful and aerodynamic lines that easily draw the eye down the entire length of the vehicle. Then there are the extra touches and flourishes, such as a rear spoiler, an 'S' specific air intake and grille available in either Twilight Grey, or matt with aluminium inlays with twin inlays, and the 19-inch alloy wheels with their five-spoke Cavo design.

Interior design

Audi has clearly made every effort to ensure that the interior of the new S5 Coupé is an exceptional place to be seated for both the driver and any passengers. The seats are uniformly upholstered in a fine Nappa leather and even come with a pneumatic massage function. The standard front seats meanwhile have been substituted with S5 Super Sports seats that are heated and embossed with the 'S' logo. For the driver's comfort, both the gear knob and special, multifunction, steering wheel feature perforated leather that grants extra grip and helps to keep hands cool throughout long drive.

Performance and handling

The new Audi S5 comes with a singular choice of engine, but one that perfectly matches the ambitions of the car to provide both thrilling speed and exceptional handling. The engine in question is a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI model, which uses both petrol direct injection and turbo charging systems to unleash an impressive 349bhp and 500Nm of torque. The 3.0-litre V6 also comes equipped with Audi's quattro four-wheel drive system for unbeatable handling in any situation.

Technology and safety

Undoubtedly a car with an enviable sporting prowess and pedigree, the new Audi S5 Coupé still puts a firm emphasis on safety. To that end, it comes packed with a vast array of hi-tech features, such as cruise control, multi-collision brake assist, ABS, ASR, EDL and Audi's hugely impressive pre-sense city system which identifies hazards in advance.

There's even support for ISOFIX child seats and a triple-zone climate control option.
