2007 Audi A5 S5

By Alborz Fallah | April 26th, 2007

Remember back when we covered the Audi A5/S5 launch in Melbourne? Audi Australia has finally released details regarding the timing for the arrival of the A5/S5 in Australia.

Audi says that FSI and TDI engines will be available for the Australian market for the Audi A5/S5. The Audi S5 will complete the new series with a powerful V8 FSI engine that gives the S5 some power to back up its aggressive looks.

The car measures 4.63 m in length making it a relatively large coupe and fitting in well with the other German coupes. It seems that the Audi (along with other Europeans like Volvo with the C30) have opted out for the comfortable four seater arrangement as oppose to the uncomfortable and forced five seater.

Much like the new Audi TT, the vehicles come with the choice of FWD setup or quattro four wheel drive. There is also the choice of a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Audi says that the running gear for the S5 is new and combines agile handling with the utmost driving safety.

Audi Australia expects the vehicle in showrooms by by the 4th quarter this year.

I would probably go for a V8 S5 instead of an M3. The main reason that you don’t see half as many Audis on the road as you do BMWs and Mer-Benzs which improves their “exclusivity”

Lookout BMW Audi have you in their sights! Dont sit on your hands Bavarian Motorworks on the fact you have been producing the M3s for 20 years and you have it all over Audi,there going to catch you if you don’t move faster!

Oh it does look like the current 3 series coupe from the rear though.

SUBLIME! Only very cool people are allowed to own one of these cars. Audi’s new design language has no equal, yet, most of the others are still thinking about how on earth to catch up (or should i say copy.)
