AUDI S5 CONVERTIBLE

As with all products in the family, the oversized grille highlights the strong presence of the car. Same for the daytime running lights, machine gun style and LEDs. Horizontal lines, large fires, exhaust tips and a rights aerodynamic diffuser in a contrasting color highlight the rear of the vehicle. Small touches make specific the S5 even sportier personality. Changes in the front and rear bumpers, the more aggressive grille, air intakes and exhaust tips of larger dimensions. The proportions are perfect, elegant curves. Already a classic.

Upon arrival on the market in late summer, the A5 will be offered with two six-cylinder engines. The base engine is the same as the coupe, a 3.2-liter V6 that produces 265 horsepower. Multitronic box comes with the base model traction. The quattro version comes with the optional S-Tronic box seven-speed. The S5 swapped the V8 which is found in the coupe for a V6 with compressor. Despite its less imposing than the V8, the six-cylinder engine offers 333 horsepower and a generous 0-100 km / h in 5.6 seconds against 5.1 for the 354 horsepower V8 coupe. The V6, which is also found in the S4 and A6, is coupled to the box office to double-clutch seven-speed S Tronic and Quattro all-wheel drive. The primary reason for this new engine is its use more reasonable than the V8. You can drive below 10 liters per 100 km if you're really, really reasonable. A few months after launch, two-liter turbo engine of 211 horses will join the family with a manual gearbox or S-Tronic. Nothing yet on the three Diesel models available in Europe.

True to its tradition, Audi has chosen to keep the soft top for his convertible. Engineers cite reasons of harmony in the lines, more compact in the trunk and weight to justify this decision. In addition, the consumer will have the choice of two versions of soft top for the purchase of the vehicle. The base coat consists of three layers, a fleece membrane is sandwiched between the other two. With the optional acoustic hood (standard with S5), which is characterized by a quiet ride to the equal of a luxury sedan, the membrane is replaced by a foam with a thickness of 15 mm. This soft top has an optional LED lighting to the rear seat: a feature usually found in the segment of luxury convertibles. In both versions, a hydraulic pump and four cylinders ensure the deployment of the hood. It is controlled by a button on the center tunnel or through a special feature on the remote control (optional). The roof opens in 15 seconds even while driving up to 50 km / h and closes at 17. Audi has even studied how to fold the roof to make it as compact as possible. It takes only 60 liters of trunk space that offers 320 or 380 and 750 liters of volume if you fold the rear seats. Finally, the wind shield series is designed to fit in the hole of the spare wheel and does not hinder the effective volume of the trunk.
