2010 Audi S5 Cabriolet

AUDI S5 CABRIOLET

The S5 is the strongest possibility is to drive a vehicle of the five-line open. Unfortunately, the Audi cars is not the sonorous rumbling with eight-cylinder 4.2 liters engine capacity given that one knows from the coupe. Like the S4 saloon has to settle for the S5 Cabriolet with the three-liter six-cylinder engine with supercharging. The engine operates at low speeds and revving equally reticent, but is in otherwise excellent Audi Cabriolet not full strength. The 333-horsepower six-cylinder is indeed hungry on gas and is fun, provides in terms of consumption, however, hardly any significant advantages over the sovereign eight cylinders. Is in terms of quietness and sound an entirely different caliber. In the open field test S5 consumed despite the manageable and efficient three-liter supercharged 13.7 liters Super per 100 kilometers. Audi promises to deliver an unrealistic standard consumption of just under ten liters.

The interior of the Audi S5 Cabriolet is adorned with the finest leather, excellent handling and all the bells and whistles. The cargo compartment holds regular 320-380 liters. The base price for the Audi S5 Cabriolet is € 61 950. The basic equipment can, however, large gaps, which need to be close with many crosses in the long options list. Even details such as high-beam assistant, dimming mirror, or multi-zone climate control system must be specially ordered. Even the sports seats still cost 645 € extra charge - rather embarrassing for the sporty top version of a model series. Without the 2610 € expensive navigation system, no one ordered an open S5. Together with air-conditioned leather seats and other details of the price rises too quickly over the 70,000-euro mark.

It must be the sports version of the S5 in the choice of an Audi A5 Cabriolet now? No. As much as its impressive power delivery of the supercharged engine like: The 3.0 TDI with its 240 hp, 500 Nm of torque and a fuel consumption of about eight liters of diesel per 100 kilometers, is the better alternative. The power is sufficient for the open version anyway.

The pain when refueling also hide 245 KW / 333 hp, 440 Nm torque, the well-tuned S-Tronic, not 250 km / h top and a standard four-wheel drive. The shifting of the seven-step double-clutch transmission are taking place it gently in the background in any driving condition. The automatic mode provides a sports program that controls charge equal to € 1135 for the electronic damper. When cornering, it may also sometimes be the manual gear selection. The gearshift control on the grip are gorgeous in their hands. The transmission works well with the spontaneous and hungry six-cylinder.

It can accelerate 0 to 100 km / h the Audi creates an open, despite being overweight in an impressive 5.6 seconds. Clearly be noted is the Audi S5 Cabriolet but its sumptuous weight. 1950 kg for a vehicle of this class are more than 200 kilograms too much. It can also play a very well-tuned suspension and barely noticeable pitch and roll is not completely. The steering is smooth and precise for it. The size 245 tires on 18 inch rims ensure that the Audi is not overly hard hops over bumps on the road. The mixture makes the electronic damper.
